A Win Will Give Us Confidence - Coleman

Last updated : 27 November 2009 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City go to Queens Park Rangers looking for a victory.

The Sky Blues have not won since the victory at Watford on September 29th and City boss Chris Coleman is well aware of how important three points would be.

He said to the CT: “Sometimes when you are in the position we are you can’t see light at the end of the tunnel.

“We’ve been lacking confidence, not picking points up, not been scoring and we have been conceding, so every negative you can think of has happened to us in the last six weeks really, and slowly but surely we have got to start chipping away at coming out of it. And we will do that.

“It’s whenever we get that next win, however or whenever it comes, I think that’s when it will give us that bit of confidence because I see us when we are on the ball at the minute, we are a little bit shy of making a forward pass and maybe we are passing it square too many times in midfield.

“We are taking steps in the right direction but we have been quite hard on the players again this week in terms of how we want to go about our business on Saturday.

“I have been there as a player when you can’t see where the next win is coming from, and this is the worst run we have been on since I have been at the club, and we are all going through a little bit of a negative twinge but we have got to be man enough to face it and come out fighting.

“We have got to go there with the same mindset as last year when we should have won the game but conceded in the last couple of minutes. 

“We played very well and stifled them and they got frustrated and we have to have that mindset again tomorrow.

“It won’t be an easy game but we want a positive result. “We are six points behind midway, which is two wins, and at the minute two wins is a lot for us.

"But you never know what’s round the corner in football and if you had said to me two months ago that we would be in this position I would never have believed you in all honesty.

“We have had a lot of bad luck with injuries but the performances still should have been better so I don’t want to make excuses.

“One result, a good one or bad one, can put you on a positive or negative run and we have been on the latter. So we need a positive result from somewhere to put us on a good run.”
