We Need To Keep Winning - Coleman

Last updated : 12 January 2010 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has said that the Sky Blues need to keep winning.

City go into tonight's FA Cup replay against Portsmouth at the Ricoh Arena (kick off 7.45pm), boosted by four league wins in five matches and a draw at Fratton Park which set up this replay.

Speaking to the club website at yesterday's press conference, the City manager said: "The lads have turned the season around in the last few weeks and we want to keep winning and keep that momentum going.

"It would be great to get a positive result tonight and be able to take that with us to Ipswich on Saturday and we definitely want to take our cup run a stage further so with a bit of luck tonight I hope we can do that.

"It certainly won't be easy against Portsmouth, they haven't played for a while and will be fresher so I would imagine they will field their strongest team as they did when we played them at Fratton Park.

 "The league is still our bread and butter and always will be but tonight's game is extremely important for us because a good cup run can very easily translate into league form and we've been climbing the league in the last few weeks so we must continue to do that."
