    Coppell still calls for focus

    09 Mar 2008 - 12:09:03

    Steve Coppell insists Reading won't take their eye off the ball despite boosting their survival chances with a 2-0 victory over Manchester City.

    The Royals leapfrogged up to 13th place in the table on the back of their second consecutive victory.

    But despite goals from Shane Long and Dave Kitson securing a priceless three points against the Citizens at the Madejski Stadium, Coppell has warned his players that their top-flight status is still far from secure.

    "We have to accumulate a certain number of points and we cannot relax in any way," he claimed. "We're all on a mission to ensure we are playing in this division again next season.

    "One week you can be out of the firing line, but we have to string a number of results together to make sure people are not looking at us under the microscope.

    "It is accepted that 40 points is a significant number and I maintain we are capable of getting that, so that is my target."
