Decisions,Decisions

Coventry City manager Chris Coleman faces a selection problem ahead of the Sky Blues trip to Watford tomorrow.

The City boss has back Leon Best back after a two game suspension but with Robbie Simpson having a fine game at Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night, Coleman will have to decide who to drop if Best is to return.

"I have got a decision to make and it's a good one and I'm happy about it," said Coleman to the CT. "Besty is back and Simmo has done great in his absence. "I thought he was tremendous in both games and couldn't have given us any more, so I have been very happy with him.

"We have got Michael Mifsud, Zavon Hines, Besty, so for me, whether we go with one up front or two, I can look at the bench now and think we can make an impact.

"We never had that before, if I am honest, but with what we have now and what I have seen of Simmo, I think he has raised the bar in his own performances. "He has been on as a sub before and done OK but since I started him in the last two games he has done really well, so there is a good fight for places up front now.

"For Zav, I don't think he's ready to start yet because he's very young and we have to be careful with him. "But he is a livewire and gives us something a little bit different."

One option could be to rest Michael Mifsud. Coleman sensed this was a possibility but did not rule it out saying: "Maybe. I think he's like any other player and wants to play every game, but sometimes players need a rest and to be taken out of the front line, especially when there is a lot of pressure. He hasn't scored for a while but it is not due to a lack of hard work.

"But whichever way we go and whoever is left out, we know that when we put them on they can make a change to the game,and that's very important for any manager to have."
