Chris Coleman is confident of keeping Coventry City in the Championship, despite losing his unbeaten record at Burnley on Tuesday night.

The Sky Blues lost 2-0 at Turf Moor to remain 18th in the table, but the newly-installed manager doesn't believe they will be dragged into the relegation dogfight.

"It's very disappointing that we conceded two goals from set-pieces," said the former Fulham boss.

"We thought there was a handball in the lead-up to the first goal, but we can't concede two goals from set-pieces given the position we are in.

"But I am up for the challenge. I had 1,000 friends on Saturday after we beat Leicester but I probably won't get a single call tonight.

"However, we move forward and I'm confident that we can get the four more wins that we need to stay in this division."
