January will show Stewart's true colours

It's been a bit worrying in recent weeks regarding contradictory statements made by Warney on how fit and ready for action some of the current players are. For example, he keeps saying that Raggett just needs more reserve game time, but when the last reserve game took place (and most of the squad were in Ireland, allegedly), Raggett didn't play for the reserves. Similarly when recently there were injury doubts about Mattock, he said that he could slot Jones in and shuffle the rest around a bit if needed... but Jones does not seem to have appeared in the match day squads for the first team or the reserves for a while. Is all well and he is just trying to confuse the opposition managers?... or are we papering over the cracks? Add to that Newell has looked knackered all season, and other than a few pre-season games against non-league opposition and a fairly brief (and good) sub appearance v Birmingham, so has Vassell.
Only time will tell...
