    Anybody know if there is any truth about the rumours going round about NKP supposedly having a bust up before the match yesterday and leaving before the kick off.
    He was in the squad as a picture of his kit hanging up in the dressing room was posted by the club so not injured.

    Apparently he was asked to defend properly for a change.

    Well, we are being run like a pub team so they might as well all behave like one.

    I was told at half time he was seen driving away before kick off.

    I was given a similar account, in the Record Cafe after the match.

    If this right its a bad sign of a very unhappy dressing room.

    Apparently he is disgusted at being considered ahead of Matt Kilgallon in the pecking order and refused his place in the squad as a matter of principle.

    Doesn't sound good, i just hope that this does not turn out to be another smear against the club.
    Hopefully a perfectly reasonable reason will come out of it.

    I saw him leave . He was out of the team because they wanted a more attacking bench so there is no need for further conspiracy theories

    Thanks Park.
    Still no reason to leave though, he should have stayed and got behind his team mates.

    I thought all the squad unless injured had to be at the ground on match days playing or not?

    Then why was Reece Staunton a young defender with little experience picked ahead of him on the bench - Park? New EFL rules?

    You spoke to him and he told you that, or are you making assumptions (which appear to be wide of the mark given a young defender was sat on the bench in NKP's place)?

    He was at the ground but because he wasn’t named in the matchday Squad he was allowed to leave which happens often with players

    It was explained in the post match interview . Can’t remember the exact quote but because of injury they had to put a young defender on the bench because of the home grown rule and because we were at home we wanted an extra attack minded player on the bench

    Why was he allowed to leave or is this just you saying it with no concrete evidence who told you he was given permission to leave?

    You could be correct, but why would his kit be put out for him, also when I saw the team sheet once again I could not believe that if we had an injury in CD we had no cover on the bench.
    If it was as you say Collins wanted a more attacking formation against Wycombe and having very little cover in certain areas it was one big gamble from our coaching team, as it turned out neither plan worked on the day.

    We have seen it numerous times players leave when they are left out. There is nothing untoward there
