Bruce: Bookings Controlled

Town defender Alex Bruce is pleased he has gone more then two months with out picking up a booking for Town.

Bruce had picked up 9 yellow cards before the start November, if he picks up another he will face a two game ban.

 

Bruce: “Things are looking a bit better for me now on the disciplinary front.

 

“I'm an honest player and I'm going to pick up bookings but the rate I was picking them up was ridiculous and I became a bit embarrassed about it.

 

“When I first came here I was probably too enthusiastic. I wanted to win over the fans and my team-mates and show them that I liked a tackle.

 

“I was trying too hard and picked up some stupid bookings so I've had to try and eradicate those mistakes and it's worked out well.

 

“I still think that some of the bookings were unwarranted and when you get 'a name' for receiving yellow cards it can certainly work against you but I've tried hard to turn things around.”
