Swansea City: Luke Williams would love to emulate Mark Robins

In his days as a youngster at Norwich City, Luke Williams would make a special effort to watch Mark Robins practising his shooting before the Canariesâ€TM first team played a game.

He admired Robins then and, three decades down the line, he admires Robins now.

Williams will go head to head with Robins as his Swansea City side take on Coventry City on Saturday afternoon.

The Swansea head coach is an admirer of the work Robins has done since taking charge of the Sky Blues â€" for a second time â€" in 2017.

"I would love to be able to look back and say I have been here [at Swansea] for that length of time," Williams.

"I think Mark Robins is brilliant. What he does incredibly well is never gets too high and never gets too low. He is incredibly consistent.

"His teams are always organised, they always give you a problem. They seem to be rebuilding every couple of years and still getting the same output.

"Thatâ€TMs the type of person I look up to because I would like to have that longevity in the game."

Swansea are unbeaten at home in the league so far this season, but are yet to take a point - or score a goal - on the road after 1-0 defeats at Middlesbrough and West Brom.

Coventry have won only one of their first five league games, against Oxford, with defeats coming against Stoke and Norwich and draws against Bristol City and Watford.

"I think anyone going to Coventry and winning would be happy," Williams said.

"We need to see a convincing performance that results in three points and then we can start to feel optimistic [about away form]."
