ON THE GAME
"It's very important that we get some consistency," the City boss told Sky Blues World. "Hillsborough is always a difficult place to go but our away form has been very good lately so let's hope we can keep that going because two or three wins back-to-back makes a huge difference.

"Brian Laws has got a good side and they have been in good form of late so its another huge task but one we are looking forward to and I'm sure we will take a big following."
"I think the decision to rest Arjan De Zeeuw and Stephen Hughes at West Brom was the right one to make at the time and I thought Elliott Ward and Michael Hughes came in and did exceptionally well.
I always pick the team on merit and will continue to do that. We have eight games in December which is a huge amount to pack into a month the likes of Stephen and Arjan certainly have a part to play in that because they are hugely important members of our squad."
