  • If there are other options available more suited to the wing back position then don’t renew, if he is our only option then keep him but I think we need to accept he’s a RB not a RWB.

    He’s clearly playing through injury. Him remaining on set pieces is baffling, but earlier in the season when he was fit his set piece delivery was very good. I still think he’s worth signing but could definitely do with some time out of the team to get fit again 

    Also got to give him some credit that he’s willing to play through injury for us when he’s only contracted to us for another couple of weeks and an injury getting worse could impact his next move whether it’s with us or elsewhere 
  • I wonder if behind the scenes there is already an agreement, in principle, in place and that's why he's prepared to play.

    Jones commented that Bree had an issue with his groin after the Wrexham game back in November and he could not take set pieces.

    Clearly that groin is still playing him up then
    I think Curtis Fleming denied that after the Norwich game? Seem to remember him saying that the groin wasn't to blame. 

    Ed - Found the quote. "Is he 100 per cent with his groin? No, he’s not. But he’s playing through it. He feels like he is good enough and strong enough to do that. At times he might get a little bit sore. At the moment he’s fine.

    "Will it hamper him? Maybe a little but he put some decent balls in and we won first headers. It’s about consistency. Is it his groin (that was a factor against Norwich)? No, I didn’t think it was.”
