We Still Need A Win- Coleman

Last updated : 12 April 2010 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has said that a win should ensure the Sky Blues place in the Championship for next season.

His team have slid to a position where they currently are not mathematically safe and he told the CT: "Sheffield Wednesday play Palace in the last game of the season. They need to win their next two games and they'd have to score a lot of goals between now and then while our goal difference would have to be dented form something to give on the last day. 

"It's football so who knows what's going to happen. All we can say is let's go and win our next game which puts us totally out of it - and back on course to where we were aiming to finish at the start of the season. We were not having this conversation a month ago when we needed a win to go sixth.

"Things have swung round since then and you can see that we're a team who have gone from playing from confidence and a little bit of flair to a team playing in fear.

"We were reluctant to go and make things happen at Sheffield United, we were standiong back a bit but we certainly had more about us than we did last Monday.

"We conceded a goal at the worst possible time but the lads never went into hiding, their heads didn't drop. That's encouraging for me because I think 'I can rely on these'."
