Wolves boss O'Neil: Robins and Coventry deserve massive respect

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil says he has total respect for Mark Robins and his work at Coventry City.

Wolves host the Sky Blues in the FA Cup quarterfinal today.

O'Neil said: “He's done a very good job. I don't know Mark overly well, but I'm very impressed with his team.

"They've had some tough times there recently as a club, and they've managed to put together a very good Championship campaign again this year, knocking on the door of the play-offs and looking at the numbers, they could maybe be higher in the league than they are – very highly ranked in certain aspects of the game.

“It will be a tough test, of course, they seem to be in a really good moment and don't have too many key players missing, and they have a good understanding of what they're trying to do. I can't imagine it feeling like a Premier League team versus lower league opposition, it'll be a really good game and a hard contest. My players are well aware it gets treated the same as if Man City were coming tomorrow, equally as focused, and we pay Coventry and Mark Robins massive respect for what they've done and the team they've managed to put together."
