Bjarni Gudjonsson has stated he wants to figure in Peter Reid's plans and come back into the first team reckoning.

Speaking to the CET,the Icelander said: "Obviously it is disappointing because I am not part of the match day squad right now but I am trying not to let it affect me.

"It is very hard because I am here to play for Coventry and I am not playing at the moment. All I can do is work hard in training and wait. But I need to get a chance again and if I can get a chance I am confident I can get back to the sort of form I was in last season."

"I don't really feel under pressure to impress if I get a chance but if any player is to have a fair crack at it the gaffer needs to tell you that you are going to get three or four games.

"If you are thrown in for one game you might play well or you might even play badly because you are thinking all the time that you might just get one game to show him.

"But I need to be stronger than that and make it count if my chance does eventually come. "Unfortunately I don't feel I am close to getting another chance. I don't know if the manager doesn't fancy me, you would have to ask him that. But the lads have won the last two and are doing well so I can't have any complaints there. All I can do is keep working hard and keeping fit and see what happens."

Meanwhile, Eddy Johnson has said that he need a kick up the backside to get his City career going again.

The year long loanne from Manchester United said: "I was very disappointed when I was left out of the team and at that time I was getting a kick up the backside from the gaffer as well as from United who were wondering why I wasn't playing.

"Sir Alex Ferguson spoke to me earlier on in the season and since I've been back in the team and scored a few goals he rang me and just said 'keep it going'.

"But he didn't speak to me while I wasn't playing. He left it to the other coaches to ring me and kick me up the backside."
