Keogh sets promotion target

30 November 2010 13:30
Richard Keogh insists Coventry are setting their sights higher than the play-offs and wants a top-two finish come May. The Sky Blues have ended an unwanted run of three straight defeats with successive victories over Burnley and Scunthorpe, propelling them back into the top six. City are currently just half a dozen points off second-placed Cardiff, occupying their highest league position at this stage of any season since the club were relegated from the Premier League in 2001. And right-back Keogh, a summer signing from Carlisle, told the Coventry Telegraph: "We know what points target we want to get to and we will keep that in camp and keep going about our business. "We`ve got two wins and we want to make it three against Middlesbrough on Saturday and then four and five and chase down QPR and Cardiff because the league is wide open, and with the squad we`ve got we think we can be in the top two." Meanwhile, the Jimmy Hill Tribute Appeal is just £13,000 short of raising the target needed to erect a statue of the former Coventry manager and chairman outside the Ricoh Arena, with the tribute possibly set to be in place for the start of next season.
