Selection Has Been A Problem - Mowbray

Last updated : 25 February 2016 By CNS Staff

Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has said that picking his strongest team has been a problem due to injuries and suspensions recently.

Mowbray told the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner: “The selection of the team due to suspension and injury was difficult at times.

“Everyone wants to play their strongest team every week and yet I don’t feel we’ve been able to do that. In the last game I was able to pick what I felt was close to what I feel it could be.

“And I feel the more times I can pick my strongest team the more it will give us a really good chance. That doesn’t mean the team against Bury is always our strongest team because an away game would give us a different challenge.

“As we have seen all year, I pick different players for a different challenge but it’s nice to have selection issues and be able to decide to play Maddison, Cole, Murphy and Armstrong together.

"Vincelot and Fleck were back together, as they have been all season, and that was the first time we’d been able to do that for a while.

“I’m looking forward to the last 15 games and let’s see how many we can win, where it takes us and where the journey will end this season.

“The group are positive and in a good state of mind regardless of what anyone else does, the teams in and around us.

“We still have to go to places like Gillingham and Peterborough so we have some tough games. But the other side of that coin is we have already beaten them at home and now we have to go away from home and do it, but sometimes we can give teams different problems away from home.”
