Michael11 added 15:00 - Feb 19 Deserves that. He's been a very solid signing for us this season. It's just a shame we have such a good left sided centre back in Tommy Smith that he has to play on the right side.

Seasider added 16:46 - Feb 19 Was not happy when Manager split Smith and Chambers partnership to accomodate him especially as it meant playing Chambo out of position. However he is a very strong player for us,and cannot now be omitted from team Hope he does well on 5th March if he gets on.
