Gareth Bale forcing Wales to tighten security ahead of World Cup qualifier against Serbia I can understand the frenzy that comes with it and I have to get used to that. Gareth has to, we all have to. But there are people coming out of the woodwork wanting to see him and have an autograph, so we have to tighten up on everything and how we look at it. It's something we need to deal with and get right. I would rather have the problem than not because it means he is playing for us. But it does come with problems. With Crystal Palace youngster Jonny Williams sustaining damaged ankle ligaments as a result of a crude challenge during the Macedonia defeat, and Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey the victim of sustained physical intimidation by the home side, Coleman believes that Bale's presence, when fit, will heighten the need for greater protection from match officials against overzealous opponents. "We do need protection," Coleman said. We are not asking for more protection than the next team but we have got to get some. I'm not saying Gareth Bale needs extra protection, he just needs a fair crack of the whip. The challenges can get a bit naughty, but that's what the referee's there for. Despite Serbia's reputation for providing a similarly physical challenge as Macedonia, Coleman insists that Bale's involvement on Tuesday night will solely be down to the player's fitness. Although Bale has yet to make his Real debut, Coleman claims that the Spanish club have exerted no pressure in terms of whether the player takes part against Serbia. "Madrid have been great, they've been brilliant," Coleman said. There has not been one obstacle put in our way. I promise you, hand on my heart, if there was a chance, he would be on the pitch. Real Madrid know that, if he's with us, he's with us to play football. Gareth is a super athlete, he's not got an ounce of fat on him, but even him, if you see him in the sessions with us - and we're not full pelt - he's not quite there. But it will be up to him. If he says he can play a part, he'll be on the pitch, no doubt. I have to take Gareth's word. He always turns up for Wales - if he didn't want to be here then he wouldn't be here. God knows he's got excuses not to be. Wales (4-2-3-1, probable team): Myhill; Gunter, Ricketts, Gabbidon, Davies; Ramsey, Vaughan; Robson-Kanu, Ledley, Collison; Bellamy.
