Mark Robins was irritated after his Coventry City team gave up their ninth penalty of the season, giving Birmingham City the lead at St Andrew’s.

But he was happy with how his Sky Blues responded, as they went on to get an equaliser from the great Gus Hamer, bringing their Championship tally to 30 points.

“I was disappointed with the penalty – it was another penalty conceded,” he said, speaking after the 1-1 draw – the fourth stalemate between the two sides in their last four meetings.

“I just think Sam (McCallum) dived in. But I think the reaction to giving the penalty away was the right one, the goal we scored was an outstanding one and we created some really good openings to have won the game.

“We had a disappointment (with the penalty) but we got on with it.

“But some of our passing movements they couldn’t live with and I thought we were good and unfortunate not to get a second goal.”
