Jewell Relishing Scouting Side of Management Tue 13th Sep 2011 08:42 Boss Paul Jewell says not too much ought to be read into his recent attendance at two Barnet matches with the Blues keeping a watching brief on around 20 games every Saturday.

Jewell: We Need to Learn to Grind Out Draws Mon 12th Sep 2011 09:17 Town boss Paul Jewell says the Blues had got to learn how to grind out draws when they aren’t playing well rather than falling to defeats such as Saturday’s 2-0 loss at Blackpool.
