Coventry were beaten by Luton in last season’s play-off final and have a chance to make amends in a Wembley-hosted FA Cup semi-final. Robins continued: "It means a lot to everybody. I've been tasked with quite a bit this season, the new owners have wanted a cup run, they've got a cup run, they're getting a cup run and also, we need to try and get into the play-offs three out of five years.

“It's not an easy feat, not an easy task but I've got incredible support and staff around the team whatever the scoreline is. It drives you on, it just gives you the energy, it's absolutely outstanding."
