Deegan gives Coleman selection headache
City boss spoilt for choice Coventry City boss Chris Coleman will be scratching his head if he has all of his midfield options available to him for Saturday's game at Peterborough. With Sammy Clingan and Aron Gunnarsson returning from international duty today, Coleman will have to asses their fitness before making a final decision. Irishman Gary Deegan has been highly impressive on the training ground and may start ahead of Gunnarsson Sammy Clingan was selected to play for Norther Ireland but had to withdraw because of a viral infection. His condition will be assessed on his return, but he may not be for to play on Saturday. Gunnarsson played the full 90 minutes for Iceland in their goalless draw in Cyprus and Coleman will need to check on his fitness. Before hearing that Clingan had withdrawn with a virus, Mr Coleman said, “If Aron or Sammy come back and are feeling a little bit jaded then they know we have got Gary Deegan to come in, He is dying to get on the pitch." "He has trained brilliantly this week and was different class on Tuesday, so he’s desperate to play and so in that sense we are in a good position. Hopefully they will both come back feeling good, but we have got a little bit of cover there.” Mr Coleman has opted to start the last two games with Clingan and Gunnarsson and with the latter showing signs of a return to his impressive form of last year. Coleman has reiterated the thoughts of his players who have stated that the team need to retain their focus and not to switch off when they take on bottom of the table Peterborough saying, “People will look at it and see they are bottom with 24 points but that will all go out of the window." "once the whistle goes it won’t be bottom of the league versus a team in the top ten, it will be a proper football game and we will have to deal with it the way we have other teams. Form and league positions go out of the window and it will be us against them and we have got to come out on top.” // '); document.write('Comments Loading'); var loadImg = document.getElementById('sitelife_load_img'); loadImg.innerHTML = ''; tm.siteLife.daapi.getArticle( "45-92746-25959257", function(article){ tm.siteLife.display.displayCommentCount( article, 'sitelife-commentsWidget-bottom', true, 'Comments', true ); } ); })();//call anonymous function gSiteLife.Comments( "ExternalResource", "45-92746-25959257", 10, "TimeStampAscending" ); var doScroll = false; function updateProfileLinks(commentsTable) { if(doScroll){ document.location.href=document.location.href.replace(/#.*/, '') + "#sitelife-comments-bottom"; } //get comment rows var commentsForm = $('.Comments_From') for (var cr = 0; cr
