buryblue77 added 15:28 - Apr 9 I think some of the players were starting to look jaded and by having competition for places it freshens up those positions and keeps the dropped players on their toes, knowing that they're not guaranteed starting places if their level of performances drop.

DinnernotTea added 15:35 - Apr 9 Bowyer and Leadbitter???????? Brilliant job Paul. Hyam is an ITFC player in the summer and currently these two aren't. And we can all see theyre crap playing together. "im building this club up again" Lies.

TimmyH added 15:58 - Apr 9 Bowyer starting...what the hell!! I agree with Scotland replacing Chopra though, you really have to wonder if PJ knows what he is doing at the moment regarding starting positions.

PunchNoHopers added 09:55 - Apr 10 Can't see Jewell ever learning that we always play badly when Leadbitter and Bowyer play together, it is so frustrating that he keeps perserving, let's just hope that they ain't here next year then he will have no choice!
