Morrell Has Some Thinking To Do

Andy Morrell has said that he has some serious thinking to do during the next few weeks regarding his future at Coventry City. "My season has been OK, I suppose," Morrell said to the CET, "but I am a bit disappointed with not having so many starts.

"I have made 39 appearances, which is a fair few, although 20-odd have been from the bench, but I have been involved throughout the season and not had a long-term injury.

"I have only had 12 starts which is probably the most disappointing thing because I would have wanted to start a lot more. "I have got another year left because I had a clause in my contract that if I played 15 games I got a second year, so that has kicked in.

"But I would have thought I will sit down with the manager, as I did last year, and have a meeting about what his thoughts are and hopefully I will see where I stand then. "And if he doesn't want me then I will have to make plans and see what I can come up with. "From my point of view, obviously I want to be playing games.

"The gaffer told me last summer to back myself to play a lot of games this year and have a bit of confidence in myself. "I thought I did that and he said he would give me the chance to play up front, which I don't think I have had that many opportunities to do.

"It is difficult playing right midfield one week and play up front in the reserves and then back in the midfield, so I have not really played the position that I believe I am best in and in the role I was brought here to start with.

"But if you are not going to play up front you have to try to adapt yourself to get a game somehow. "So I need to talk to the manager and see what he says because I am 31 now and I have got to be playing really.

"I am keeping an open mind at the moment. I have just had my little boy so I will be concentrating on him for a while and take my mind off things. "It has been a long season for us and maybe speak to my agent and see what is happening."
