I'm At Coventry Now So I Hope The Lads Do Well - Henderson

Last updated : 26 September 2012 By Covsupport News Service

Conor Henderson has said that he enjoyed his Coventry City debut and will provide information on thie Arsenal players if requested.

Speaking to the CT's Andy Turner, Henderson who is not allowed to play against his parent club tonight, said: “I would have relished the opportunity but I’m not allowed to play, which is a shame, although it would have been a strange feeling.

“I only found out about the move to Coventry a few days ago and then everything was finalised on Friday afternoon and I drove straight up. I got on a bit earlier than expected against Carlisle but I was more than happy to go on. The manager just told me to get on the ball and try to get the team playing and enjoy it.

“I like to get on the ball and pass it and although it was a tough start to my short stay at Coventry I did enjoy it.

“I know a few of the players already and how good they are and we just need to get a few results. We hit the post twice and created some good chances and hopefully next time we’ll take those chances and win the game.”

On which team Arsene Wenger will actually field tonight, “I have no idea which team the manager will put out,” admitted Henderson.

“I know there are a few players who haven’t played too much this season and need games but I think it will be quite a strong side.

“It would be nice to see some of my under-21 team-mates involved. Ignasi Miquel is a really good centre-half and Nicholas Yennaris a defensive midfielder but there are a few good young players who are there and will hopefully get a game. But whatever team plays it will be difficult.

“I hope to travel down with the Coventry players because it will be nice to be involved in and around the dressing room, although it will be very strange.

“If anyone asks about anyone I’ll let them know. I’m at Coventry now so I hope the lads do well.”
