Coventry boss Mark Robins felt his side deserved 'at least a point' after coming from behind to salvage a draw against Sunderland on the opening weekend of the Championship season. The Black Cats took the lead at the Stadium of Light through Jack Clarke inside 15 minutes in a first half that Alex Neil's men dominated.
But Coventry changed personnel and system in the second half which helped bring them back into the game, and an individual goal from Sweden international Viktor Gyokeres six minutes from time earned them a draw. "In the end I thought we deserved at least a point," said Robins, who was overseeing his 300th game in charge of Coventry.
"Any point in the Championship is a good point. Everybody says that every week, but it's true. This is a tough place to come. particularly in the circumstances - first game of the season, back in the Championship after four years away - it was always going to be a difficult game.
