Coventry City boss Tony Mowbray handed Joe Cole a start for yesterday's 2-2 draw at Swindon Town.

Cole, on-loan from Aston Villa, lasted the first-half before being substituted.

Mowbray explained: “He hasn’t played much football in the last couple of years so two games in four days was a big ask.

"He understands that and he’s supportive of our decision.”
