Wroe rested for the trip to Colchester

Last updated : 06 December 2004 By Mad Tyke

Young Reds midfielder Nicky Wroe will not travel with the first team to Colchester because Paul Hart is resting him.

Nicky has already featured in 20 matches this season.

Hart said: "I have decided to leave Nicky Wroe out of the first team for the next couple of weeks. Nicky has done brilliantly all season and I do not want to leave him out but I have to concentrate on his future. I am not going to be guilty of burning him out.

"We will give Nicky a little break and he will rest and hopefully come back stronger over Christmas. Nicky understands but I have seen one or two things. I have seen them in the past and a couple of weeks break will do him the world of good".

Tykes Mad reckons this is a good decision by Paul Hart!
