Time for Koumas to use it or lose it

By Gareth Bicknell on Nov 11, 08 01:49 PM

WITH Aaron Ramsey and Jack Collison set to face Denmark next week, it's judgement day for Jason Koumas.
And it is also time for John Toshack to give goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey a kick up the backside after the Wales manager named his squad for the friendly.
Ramsey - who will make his debut next week - and Collison are the future in midfield for Wales and are expected to play together in Brondby next Wednesday.
That could mean Koumas misses out for at least part of the game - although with only three strikers in the squad Toshack may experiment with playing Koumas just behind captain Craig Bellamy, with Ramsey and Collison in the engine room.
Koumas has been the most creative force in the Wales squad for a couple of years now, but too often he goes missing, and not just during the game - too often he has already made his excuses when the call comes for those gruelling away trips.
If Koumas does face Denmark next week, he must show Toshack he still has something to offer as the next generation stake their claim for a place in Wales' bid to reach the 2010 World Cup.
Meanwhile, with Boaz Myhill one of Hull's stars as the Tigers have roared to the top six of the Premier League this season, Hennessey - currently out of the Wolves side - is facing a threat to his number one spot.
Toshack must give Myhill his chance to impress next Wednesday - with Hennessey still only 21 years of age, he has plenty of time to win his place back.
