No Old Pals Act Here Says Coleman

Coventry City manager Chris Colemanhas said there will be no old pals act when the Sky Blues meet Barnsley managed by Simon Davey tonight at the Ricoh Arena.

"I know a lot about Simon and I've known him for a long, long time," Coleman said to The Mirror.

"We played in the Swansea schoolboys side together and he was a very good player. We came through together and his wife, Emma, went to my school.

"This is an important game for Coventry, too. We've got to end our poor run before the end of the season.

"I've told my players, when we were down at the bottom fighting last year, nobody showed us any mercy - and we should be the same.

"Finishing the season well is all I care about now."
