Coventry City manager Chris Coleman is expecting a torrid time from the Cardiff City supporters at Ninian Park tonight.

The Sky Blues travel to Cardiff for a Championship game, knowing that a win could put them in the play-off places.

Coleman,hails from Cardiff's rivals Swansea and is expecting the reception normally reserved for people from that neck of the woods by the Ninian Park faithful,still spiteing from the League Cup defeat at Swansea last Tuesday night.

He said to the CT: ""Being a Swansea Jack myself, I have played in a lot of derbies and I wouldn't say that I could take my children for a holiday there. "The derby games were fantastic and I used to love playing in Cardiff for my country which was the best time of my life.

"I have got a lot of friends in Cardiff but I am sure that I will get a lot of stick because the way football is but I look forward to it."

Cardiff feature two former Sky Blues in manager Dave Jones and striker Jay Bothroyd, both were not liked in the main by the Sky Blues support during their playing days at Highfield Road and both can expect some stick as well.
