League Wins More Important - Coleman

Last updated : 07 March 2008 By Covsupport
Coventry City boss Chris Coleman has admitted that he would swap Cup win at Premier League clubs Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers for league victories.

"I would change the Manchester United and Blackburn results for league results and if Iain Dowie was sitting here I am sure he would tell you the same," said Coleman to the CT.

"If we were in mid-table those two results would be great, and they are great achievements. But where we are in the league, six points changes a lot, and had we got six points more we would be in Norwich's position wondering whether we could maybe have a pop at the play-offs. But six points less and we are fourth from bottom.

"So those results were great for the club but it is the league that is our bread and butter and we must never forget that. We need points and we need them yesterday."
