Good explanation from Parky

Image: Parkinson: Careful approach

Bradford boss Phil Parkinson claims he left Curtis Good out of Saturday's draw against Bristol Rovers because of fatigue.

The 19-year-old defender joined on loan from Newcastle last Thursday but was not included in the matchday squad. Fellow new signing Blair Turgott was named in the 18-man squad but was not called upon. "He had a bit of fatigue from some training and I didn't feel confident putting him on the bench," Parkinson told BBC Radio Leeds. "I hope he'll be a good addition because he's a very good player. "I felt it was best to leave him for now so that he is prepared and ready to go next week."
