floridaboy added 19:01 - Oct 6 No Ambrose or Collison. What was the point of signing them if they are not getting any game time even for the under 21s

Wallingford_Boy added 19:24 - Oct 6 Agree, Ambrose looked shocking when he came on v Wigan, can't see him getting near the first team. Collison signing was just odd.

BLUEBEAT added 19:37 - Oct 6 I reckon Ambrose/Collison were/are safety net signings of incase Jonny Williams didn't come/may be recalled

Guthrum added 20:46 - Oct 6 Agreed, BlueBeat. The experience of Ambrose will also be useful to have around the training pitch, for our younger midfielders.

Fat_Boy_Tim added 20:48 - Oct 6 Stewart, Smith, Bialkowski and Bajner are the four over 21's alowed under the rules. We can't have any more even on the bench. MM complained about the system last season but he can only field the 4 no matter what and I guess these 4 are closer to starting spots in his opinion.
