Last updated : 31 October 2008 By Covsupport News Service
Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has said Monday night's game at Birmingham City will be a tough test and he wants the same sort of performance as at Wolves (hopefully without the poor finishing,defending and refereeing.Ed)

"If Birmingham is anything like the last derby game then it should be a good game for the fans because I'm looking for a repeat of the performance we put in against Wolves," Coleman said to Sky Blue World.




On the game, which is just a normal league game to both sets of supporters and not an important derby hyped up by some sections of the media, Coleman added: "We were the better side at Molineux and were unlucky with a couple of decisions and Monday will be an equally tough game.

"Birmingham are a hard nut to crack because they don't concede many goals and they don't mind winning ugly. They have only scored two more goals than us this season but they've kept alot of clean sheets.

"They are one of the strongest sides in the Championship and you always want to test yourself against that."
