Robbie Simpson has scored two goals for Coventry this season

Coventry City striker Robbie Simpson hopes manager Chris Coleman will offer him more opportunities to make his mark in the first team.

Simpson was called into the starting eleven for Saturday's defeat to Plymouth Argyle and he wants more.

"I believe in myself and I know all the players believe in me," Simpson told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.

"That was my first league start and I know I'll get better and better each game if selected."

Prior to Saturday, Simpson's only other start had come in the Sky Blues' 3-1 win over Aldershot in the Carling Cup - a game in which he scored twice.

Simpson, who has had to make do with cameo roles from the bench, added: "If I think something needs to be said to the manager then I'll go and say it.

"I've had several chats with him because I've been desperate to play and I feel every time I've come on I've acquitted myself well."
