CHRIS Coleman today demanded his Fulham players show the hunger for success when they return to the North West for the second time this week to take on Blackburn.

The Cottagers tumbled to a 1-0 Carling Cup defeat at Division One Wigan on Tuesday.

And boss Coleman blasted his men after their cup exit for the second successive season against the team in the JJB Stadium - and warned a repeat showing against Graeme Souness' side tomorrow would be met with a furious response.

He said: "We didn't want to win the cup game as much as Wigan did - they're a good team and they wanted it more than us.

"We had words after the game and I don't want too many more performances like the one on Tuesday night. No manager would be happy with that performance."

Tomorrow's game represents a return to Ewood Park for Coleman, who spent an up and down period there between 1995 and 1997.

Coleman's initial success at Rovers was tempered by serious injury before he fell out of favour when Roy Hodgson took over for a year.
