Im wondering if moving Bellers out has helped some of the quieter players come forward abit more. Maybe lifted some tension away?

theres no doubt that when we signed him , we needed someone to kick some other players up the arse following Svens shit training methods.

But we moved on, and maybe Bob realised Bellers was too much of an influence, and upset the dressing room atmosphere, took over abit too much?

I know we have other nutters like Ade, Mario etc, but Bellers might have been a particular type of nutter that was doing more harm than good?!??!

Just a thought.

I think it has helped. The type of attitude Bellamy had a couple weeks ago wasn't at all beneficial to our squad. It probably did release some tension I'm guessing.

I don't think that's far off the truth. I'm not saying we won because of that last night but lot of football people have said that Bellamy can be right pain in the arse if he is not happy with the way things are going. Honestly, with all the new lads and squad very deep with rotation especially on the wings and in attack, who really was surprised that bellamy got bit upset?
