Coventry City’s 2023/24 Championship campaign will be remembered for many things, with Sunday’s ‘oh so close’ FA Cup semi-final at Wembley living long in the memory of the fans.
The agonising outcome after the Sky Blues had gone within a whisker of what many agree would have been the greatest comeback in the history of the competition perhaps symbolises Mark Robins’ nearly men over the last thrilling 12 months at the club.
But supporters can rest assured that their club continues to make progress and is edging ever closer to the taste of tangible success. Last season’s play-off climax signalled to the football world that Coventry City are back on the up, ready to fight to rejoin the country’s elite.
On the back of that City managed to attract another level in terms of the quality of players willing and wanting to come to sign on at the CBS Arena – players who have grown throughout the season to take the Sky Blues to the forefront of people’s minds once more.
Looking beyond the post-match disappointment of Sunday’s game, Robins looked to the positive effect his players’ performance will have in the coming months when the summer transfer window will provide an opportunity for the manager to further strengthen and enhance his exciting squad.
“It’s brilliant for the club because when you are looking to kick on and recruit, hopefully that comes to the fore,” he said. “The club has been in the doldrums for so long and we’re certainly out of that period and we have to keep moving it forwards, which is why we won’t feel sorry for ourselves. We won’t allow that to happen.
“We’ll just move on and move past it and try to build into an exciting end to this season and then go again next season. Because we have to recruit again and look what we can do from this point onwards, and have a really good look at that and see where we can go.”
