it didn’t come for a second time as the Sky Blues slumped to their third straight loss and first at CBS Arena this season.
Goalkeeper Ben Wilson opened the scoring for Albion in the 17th minute when he blocked a shot from Nathaniel Chalobah, allowing Grady Diangana to take advantage of the loose ball.

border holding the exclusion flag.
“The negative side is the result,” Robins said, reflecting on the 2-0 loss.
“There are always negative aspects in matches, but we have been in a situation where we have lost the last three matches and conceded bad goals, very bad goals, made bad decisions.
But we had a lot of the ball and got into good areas, but what I want to say is that we need to be more aggressive when in those positions to shoot because it brings frustration anyway.
I’m disappointed on one side.
“They blocked and they worked very hard.
They started well and put pressure on us from the start, but then we made mistakes and put the ball in the net.
And sometimes you encounter these situations.
“So we conceded a really bad goal and their second goal was offside, but we were in the game.
We create opportunities and miss some, so confidence is a bit lacking in some individuals.
But we also made some really strange decisions, tactically, because we were chasing the game and under the guise of ‘we’re trying to win the game, so I have to do it’, but you don’t.
We have to stay in a structure and keep building.
Returning in more detail to the first objective, which in his opinion Wilson should have stated: “It’s trivial.
We can’t give everyone that chance and expect to keep the ball out of the net.
It’s poor.
We all make mistakes and it’s how you deal with them and correct them as we move forward.
“We got into the game enough, we moved the ball quite well and played quite well in midfield, but there are areas where we need to improve.
That’s what I will say.
Regarding the second goal scored by substitute Brandon Thomas-Asante in the 70th minute when he took the ball over the top and produced a beautiful finish, Robins said: “I saw it live and it looked offside.
Then I looked at the screen and it was offside.
VAR would have changed it but then the action that led to it.
We tried to play offside and then it was offside.
“I think some of the decisions went against us tonight, and they will feel the same way, but it was an important decision because we were still in the game and had a few chances to pull away.
draw after being behind.
The main match fell to Haji, he was eliminated due to a mistake on their part and we did not punish them.
