Godden Goal Gives Robins That Winning Feeling Again

Matt’s in to leave Town so deflated

Mark Robins hailed his table-topping Coven-try City side after they dealt Ipswich Town’s promotion hopes a deadly blow.

Matt Godden grabbed the only goal of the game to cement the Sky Blues’ place at the summit.

The victory probably drove the final nail into the coffin of a top-six place for the Tractor Boys and Ipswich boss Paul Lambert admitted it will be difficult to get into a play-off place, but he will “never give up hope”.

Robins said: “It was a really tough game. I thought we started brilliantly we kept the ball really well and the goal was really magnificent the way they got through, the way they passed it, a great through ball from Walshy.

“We needed the start because the way it finished was bitty and scappy and we didn’t keep the ball.

“We gave them opportunities and they are fighting for their lives. It was a tough game and we got a clean sheet, which was outstanding, and the goal was good enough to win it.
