Jones or Forss

Think its a 50/50 one for sure.

Forss is a better starter and Jones has looked great as an impact sub.

Obviously Forss is getting back to his sharpness but I would still start him. If it doesn't work or if he's blowing then you know Jones can come on and provide that impact that he did against Hull, I think he suits coming on against tiring defences.

Forss.

Jones isn't great when he starts.

Forss rarely finishes a game in which he starts and I do know, if it went to pens, I'd much rather have Forss on the pitch...so it's a little more trickier than usual.

I'd still opt for Forss to start though. Run their wingback into the ground, then unleash Jones....and then hope he can do what he did to Hull's full back in the 2nd half when fresh as a daisy against a tired fullback.

Jones stretched them much more and got into great possitions. Forss looked off the pace but we know what he can do in front of goal. Any chance we can merge them into one player
 
If he's fit then definitely Forss. Much more of a goal threat, although Jones was unlucky yesterday, and he's more physical and decisive too.

No need really, Forss does stretch teams when he's fit
 
Also if we start with Jones, that would be 3 games in a row we have played exactly the same team against the same opposition. A Slight change could prove the difference
 
Jones took his "goal" well. A fit Forss should be picked ahead of him though - but is he actually fit?

Jones did well the first half yesterday I thought and much better than Mondays game and because forss isn’t fully match fit I’d give Jones the benefit of the doubt knowing forss will be sharper coming off the bench for that 30 mins yesterday and could be the difference with tired legs after yesterday’s energy sapping game in the heat
 
Forss didn't look fit when he came on so I doubt he has 90 minutes in him. I don't like starting players who are not going to be able to play the full 90 if required (always felt the same with Dunc Watmore) so for me it's a no-brainer, we start Jones. As others have pointed out Jones could have had a brace on Sunday also there was a very naughty "tackle" on him by Doyle that went unpunished so they are definitely aware of the threat he poses. If I was to change anything I would swap Djiksteel for Smith as they combine much better as an attacking pair than Smith and Jones.

Definetly a 50/50 one and can see points from sides. For me though I think Forss is better at starting games and Jones seems better from the bench as a wideman so that is what I would do. Hopefully the time on the pitch has done Forss the world of good and he recovers well enough to start
 
The majority of times I would choose Forss but the way Coventry play by sitting in very deep means that room in behind isn't always there. For general build up and creating something then I think Jones probably edges it. If Ramsey is back then him on the left and McGree on the right would be the preference but I don't think that's going to happen from the start.
 
Forss will be better after the 30 min cameo on Sunday, also a few more days of training will help.
Forss should start, if his fitness runs empty after an hour then sub him.
 
When fit, Forss should start every week. He offers more end product than Jones. But he didn’t look match fit on Sunday. Hopefully did he some good getting a run out and can be up to speed for Wednesday.
