Coventry City manager Andy Thorn has admitted to being annoyed by the call up to the Republic Of Ireland U21's of Adam Barton.
Thorn wanted the midfielder, who impressed the City support in the forty five minutes he played at Bristol Rovers on Saturday, to feature in tomorrow night's Capital One Cup tie at Dagenham & Redbridge.
However, Barton has been called up for the Republic Of Ireland U21's for their friendly against Turkey in Sligo and speaking to the CT's Alan Poole, Thorn said: “Some bright spark decided he’s fit for international football when he hasn’t played a game for six months which is absolutely incredible,” said the City boss.
“Lee Carsley put in a phone call because we thought his connections might count for something but apparently it’s crucial for Adam to be sitting on a bench instead of working with us.”
