ROLAND NILSSON : RICHARDSON PRAISE

Bryan Richardson has praised caretaker manager Roland Nilsson and the rest of his staff.

The Coventry chairman told the club's website:

"You will never quite know the difference that Roland has made, but the players seem to be enjoying matches and are working extremely hard for each other."

The Sky Blues have enjoyed a unbeaten run of five wins and a draw since Nilsson took over.

Richardson and Nilsson will meet before next Tuesday's game against Chelsea to discuss the Swede taking on the manager's role permanently.

ANDY GORAM : HEADING NORTH

Andy Goram's future at the Sky Blues seems very unclear.

The veteran keeper is currently on a one month contract with Coventry but he has expressed a desire to make it a more permanent arrangement.

With the departure of Chris Kirkland such a move would seem to be wise to provide experienced cover for Swedish international Magnus Hedman.

A good performance against Gillingham last Saturday would seem to strengthen his case.

The Scottish newspaper, the Daily Record, has reported that Goram could be on his way to St Johnstone. The Scottish club are, according to the paper, prepared to offer an 18 month contract, to replace the injured Alex Main.
