Back Bramble for greatness

"We have to stay behind Titus," said first team coach John Carver today. "What we and, most importantly, the fans cannot do is get on his back.

"Darren Peacock was the club's record signing a few years ago and had his knockers early on but once he had settled in, he was our most consistent player and hugely popular.

"Given time, Titus will make the same progress. He's got incredible ability, is very open-minded and wants to learn.

"But he's also a quiet, shy lad who could suffer more than most if people start giving him unfair stick."
