Cherries: Lee delighted to have Garry's input
MANAGER Lee Bradbury has welcomed Ryan Garry's input to the Cherries backroom staff.[LNB] Bradbury has temporarily enlisted the services of the defender as he continues his battle to recover from long-term injury.[LNB] Garry, resplendent in a sharp suit, helped direct operations from the technical area during Cherries' 2-1 victory over Bristol Rovers on Monday.[LNB] The 27-year-old, who has been sidelined for more than five months due to a nerve-related problem in his lower leg, was also involved during the 2-2 draw at Yeovil.[LNB] Garry has spent his enforced absence compiling scouting reports and team assessments for Bradbury and will again be lending his support at Hartlepool this afternoon.[LNB] Bradbury told the Daily Echo: Ryan has had a nightmare time with injury and I like his attitude towards the game. With Steve Fletcher involved on the pitch, he will be somebody else that I know and trust to bounce ideas off.[LNB] He is fighting to try to get back playing and is having a bad time with his injury at the moment. He is still feeling quite a lot of pain so I have asked him to get involved. I want him to be around the lads to keep up his spirits and give him a lift. The more hands to the pump, the better.[LNB] Meanwhile, Bradbury has moved to explain the club's reasoning behind blocking players from conducting interviews with the media during Cherries' League One run-in.[LNB] All press including the club's official website were surprised to have requests for interviews turned down following the 2-2 draw at Yeovil six days ago.[LNB] However, club press officer Mick Cunningham later threw light on the matter when he informed the media of the new blackout. Players will still conduct interviews for the club programme.[LNB] Bradbury told the Daily Echo: I just want the lads concentrating 100 per cent on the job in hand. I don't want them going in the papers saying we are going to do this and that and then not backing it up.[LNB] I think we can let our football do the talking. We are an inexperienced team and I don't want them going in the papers saying the wrong things at the wrong time. I think it gives them something less to worry about. It is nothing against the press.[LNB]
