4-4-2 Is Suiting Us - Coleman

Last updated : 25 November 2009 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has said that playing 4-4-2 with two wide men is currently suiting the Sky Blues.

Speaking to the CT, Coleman said: “Belly has missed a lot of games over the last two years so he needs a run of games before we see the best of him.

“At the moment I think 4-4-2 suits us because you need two natural wide players that can cross it, get back to defend and double up with your full-backs and know the shape when the ball is on the opposite side.

"McIndoe and Bell know that and I think we had a better balance against a decent Palace team.

“McIndoe stuck a great ball in for Besty to score and Belly stuck a great cross in in the first half and we have got to have more of that quality in greater quantity.

“And we need Aron and Corky to chip in with a few goals and create a little bit more for us.

"But in fairness we didn’t get the three points on Saturday through any lack of hard work or commitment and I think the supporters saw that when they clapped us off at the end, and the players appreciated that because it showed they appreciated their effort.”
