Pablo Set for First Team Axe?

Last updated : 01 March 2004 By Site Editor
Following a poor peformance on Saturday against Preston where the former Spanish Under 21 striker was withdrawn after 55 minutes, he walked off down the tunnel.

Now it looks like Town manager Joe Royle will punish the clubs leading scorer for this act and his recent poor form by demoting him to the reserves.

"It wasn't Pablo's day (On Saturday) his confidence w low, I'm a bit concerned for his form at the moment." Royle admitted

"I didn't want to take him off at half time when I probbably should have done, I wanted to give him 10 more minutes but it just wasn't happening for the little fella.

"We might have to take him away from it completely for a while just to try to fresh him up. He has immense talent and he has a lot to offer for us but it's just not happening for him at the moment."
