Bostock must change
           
           


  PAOLO Di Canio has insisted that John Bostock remains very much part of plans at Swindon Town, as long as the midfielder cuts out the more selfish and instinctive elements of his game.

Struggling to understand PdC's logic on this one. When the team is stale and decidely crap as on Tuesday, would have thought the game screamed out for someone who could do something off the cuff.

PdC the manager isn't practising what PdC the player did.

Dont understand why Bostock hasn`t got on the pitch during his second spell with us....has he already fallen out with Di Canio? I thought he had potential on the few times I have seen him play

The wonderful thing about articles is that if if you read them, you might just find the answers to your questions.

And that article does provide the answers as to why Bostock hasn't been playing.

However, it does beg the question as to why he was brought back in the first place if his style doesn't fit?

Seems as though he will get his chance today then, for 10 or 20 minutes.

If Bostock was the perfect player he would have broken into the THFC first team and made an impact with his existing flair and skill... The point is he hasn't and my guess is that his game needs developing and this is what Di Canio has told THFC he would do with him and he's sticking to it.

As an extreme example take a football freestyler... they have skill, flair and do some of things you enjoy seeing occasionally on the pitch but what they don't necessarily have is the full set of skills to be a pro footballer and the they same aplies to pro footballers as well - they have to be taught them and some find it harder than others to adapt and stick to the plan.
