Reserves Aim To Secure Title

putting 2 and 2 together and getting 222, it might be to do with his businesses. I doubt they run themselves so suddenly needing to be at the club for extra classroom training would make that difficult.

Ginny, Bignot bangs on in the press about how he treats players right etc, then totally freezes the bloke out, bit double standards ?

What do you mean "freezes the bloke out"?

Only 11 players can play and only 18 can be in the matchday squad. So some are not going to be involved.

Any manager will leave out the players he doesn't rate as much as others.

It's not freezing out, he's just not playing. For what it's worth I wouldn't be playing him either.

My understanding was he was free to look for a new club, unfortunately for Gowling he got injured, which scuppered any move.  

I like Josh and he's been a good servant to the club. BUT...

He was not in great form when playing at the beginning of the season, he is no spring chicken (harsh, but fair?) and his contract is up.

Our defence is one of the best in the league.

Pearson and Collins shouldn't be dropped.

Boyce has worked hard, looked a lot better in the last few months when given a chance, AND is with us next season.

Anyone writing Gunning off is just ridiculous at the minute. He has a good pedigree and has barely played at centre back for us yet.

We need to be trying to get more youth players through the system and giving them a chance - so whats the point in playing Gowling ahead of some promising youngsters in reserve matches?

Reading that back sounds harsh on him. I still think he is a solid centre back and seems to be a good bloke. The stars just aren't aligned for him this season, and obviously he wont be with us next season.

Can only think that Gowling's said something that hasn't gone down well with Bignot. He's a better player than Gunning that's for sure!

By all accounts, & backed up by the Sunday press, Gunning was MOM for town when played in his best position, So for me who is, or is not the better player, is still to be determined as we have seen very little of Gunning in his preferred position. He did OK, except for Crewe, when he was part of 3 man defence so lets give the guy a decent chance before casting him aside.

Anything relating to why Gowling is not appearing is based on rumour and speculation as for all we know both parties may have agreed that Josh can have a break whilst looking for another club as I am pretty sure he does not live locally and this may save travel, expenses be better for his personal life etc.

The only folk who know for sue what has happened to Gowling will be the player himself, and the manager. That's exactly how it should be as well. We can all speculate about fall outs / not being good enough / too old etc but what happens in the dressing room stays there, and for good reason.

He seems to have been frozen out a bit but have to say I agree with MB really don't think he's Football league standard. Still think he has a couple of seasons left at a top end non-league club though and really hope he get's sorted quickly as I thought he was great last season and seems a top guy so good luck Josh!

Marcus gave Josh a run in the side and thought he was not up to it,

BUT

AND

I have no inside information I think Josh said he wanted to go into coaching when he finishes playing,

As far as I know he is helping out with the youths and taking his coaching badges,

Then again I could be wrong,

BUT

I do not think I am,

Sorry for the long post

BUT

I am bored and can not get about,

Because

Of my bloody knees.
