Nigel Reo-Coker treading disciplinary fine line
NIGEL Reo-Coker will be treading a disciplinary tight-rope at Derby - but Martin O'Neill is not planning to curb the midfielder's aggression ahead of the game with Blues.
Reo-Coker picked up his ninth booking of the season against Bolton and will earn a two-match ban if he is carded at Pride Park before a 10-card amnesty kicks in.
O'Neill, though, says he will not be handing out special "cool it" instructions to the all-action midfield star.
"If he survives the cut-off this Sunday then after next week, that's it," said O'Neill.
"I wouldn't start thinking about Birmingham until we negotiate the Derby match," he added.
