The Sky Blues travel to face Burnley in the Coca Cola Championship tonight and manager Chris Coleman is looking to build on Saturday's win over Leicester City in the trip to Turf Moor.

Speaking exclusively to Sky Blues World, Cookie said he was very pleased with how the players acquitted themselves against the Foxes and will be looking for a similar performance against Owen Coyle's men.

"I am delighted with them - I really am," he said.

"We can't ask for more from the players at the minute. They've got to get to know us and get used to us, as we have to them, but full credit to them. They attempted to do what we asked on Saturday and we got a win and that's all you can ask for."

The manager opted to change formation against Ian Holloway's men - Leon Best playing as a sole striker, supported by Julian Gray and Michael Mifsud.

"I think it worked very well for us. There were times when we tried to pass the ball into the wrong areas but that's stuff we need to work on and we will. Overall I was delighted. Michael Hughes showed a lot of courage trying to get on the ball. Even when we were 1-0 up and they kept putting a lot of pressure on us, he still kept looking for the ball as did all of the players. Julian on the left and Michael Mifsud on the right put a lot of work in for us.

"Before Saturday, I said that we wanted five wins - 15 points. That would take us up to that magical 50 points. I think that should be enough. We've got one win which is great and now we can't dwell on the Leicester game. It's great and good for the confidence but we have to look at Burnley. The most important game is the next one. We still know that we're in a tricky situation but we need to keep doing what we did on Saturday and improve a little bit every game."

And Coleman concedes that the Sky Blues are in for a tough test against Owen Coyle's men.

"They are going for a play off position. They won't take us lightly and they'll probably be favourites for the game because they're at home and having a good season. I am sure that after the game is finished, they will know that they've been in a game. We've got to go there and be brave again and stand up for ourselves. We've got to try and come back with something which we believe we can do and that will set us up nicely for Scunthorpe."
