Boss Paul Jewell has revealed that he will be talking to skipper Grant Leadbitter on Wednesday. The 25-year-old, who was targeted by Portsmouth last month, is out of contract at the end of the season with the Blues manager believing that the uncertainty over the midfielder's future has affected his form.
Jewell has stated on a number of occasions that the former Sunderland man will be offered new terms and says he will speak with the ex-England U21 international tomorrow: "I'll be seeing him Wednesday to have a chat about things in general.
"We want to be on top of the situation, we don't want questions, questions, questions about players' contracts running down."
The Town manager has previously said that he wants to avoid a repeat of the situations which developed with David Norris and Gareth McAuley last season.
