Sky Blues’ caretaker boss Roland Nilsson is still refusing to be drawn on whether he wants the manager’s job permanently ahead of tonight’s game at Barnsley.

It is two weeks since the Swede was thrust into the manager’s chair after Gordon Strachan’s departure from the club, during which time Coventry have won four out of four – their best winning run for three years.

But, according to Nilsson, it is still a case of wait and see.

He said:

“We will have to sit down and see what the club wants me to do but I think I will be part of the routine at the club in the future.”

Nilsson is fit to play tonight after being ruled out of City’s previous two matches but does not want to change the side that beat Portsmouth unless injuries force his hand.

He said:

“I am fit but I don’t think I will be playing in the game tonight because the players who are in the team at the moment are doing very well.

“The Manchester City game took a lot out of us but we picked ourselves up, especially in the middle of the second half of Saturday’s game and went on to get the second goal to help us win the match.

“But tonight is going to be a tough game too. I remember playing up there in the Premiership a few seasons ago and the crowd really got behind the team. We didn’t have the best of starts and struggled in the game.

“We cannot be fooled by the fact that they have not made the start to the season that they would have wanted. If we go there thinking it is going to be easy because they are low down in the league then we might be beaten.

“We have to prepare in the right way, both mentally and physically, and we might get another win.”

Mo Konjic is the Sky Blues prime injury concern after the powerful centre back took a blow to the inside of the knee during Saturday’s win over Portsmouth. Paul Williams will come in to the side if the Bosnian fails a late fitness test.

Marc Edworthy will keep his place at left back as Marcus Hall has not fully recovered from a foot injury and David Thompson has shaken off his ankle knock in time to start tonight’s match.
