Coventry City manager Mark Robins has said that he and his players have to take the criticisim dished out to them by supporters at matches.
City supporters at the Memorial Stadium fumed as the Sky Blues gave Bristol Rovers three first half goals on Saturday and Robins was told by plenty of the soaking wet supporters to "Sort It Out" which he did in the second half.
Robins, whose team was full of players he has signed or given new contracts to, told Andy Turner:“I think that because we take a big following to away games, and this is part of it, playing for a big club, you have to be able to deal with the criticism when it comes.
“Because if you don’t win games and don’t play in the way the supporters expect you are going to get stick.
“Certainly, I’m going to get stick, so they have got to be able to deal with it and deal with it properly.
“The fans turned up. They come to the away games and they want to see the team win.
“They get disappointed and angry if it doesn’t go our way but it’s not always going to go our way.
“We have no god given right to win games.
“Criticism is part of it and they have to take that when it comes. They got a lot of plaudits last season and had some already this season because of the way they have started and the way we are trying to play.
“I think our supporters appreciate that.
“What we have to realise is that sometimes when playing that way we are giving teams an opportunity, not because of the way we are playing but because of the mindset of one or two individuals.
“They have got to be stronger, it’s as simple as that, but we’ll keep doing the same things, keep playing.
“No changes will be made in terms of the way we’re going about things. We have just got to be a little bit more solid.”
