I think it will most likely be about the time-line of events between Leicester and Peterborough and how much had been agreed before Bomber was informed. Isn't it interesting that Stewart Dickson now has Lawson, Cook and Worrall together again in the same team? But the change couldn't have happened without Bombers agreement. If he doesn't agree to the swap, Peterborough have no replacement for Worrall & Leicester can't sign Cook for Batchelor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say Ace has been inconsistent this season, exactly what you'd expect from a 16 year old in his first Champ / 2nd NL season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO your reserves should be capable of beating their opposite number and even occasionally getting the better of visiting s/s. Equally you'd hope your reserves pick up points away from home too as Championships are generally won by picking up points on away days. Poole and Oxford seem to be setting the standard as their away results have shown Well said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This put all the focus on Lee scoring well at 6. Wasn't fair on Lee that putting all the pressure on him to score Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
