Cardiff City striker Michael Chopra is backing the partnership with fellow striker Jay Bothroyd as a section of the fans call for Cardiff boss Dave Jones to unleash the ‘Beast’ Jon Parkin from the bench.
Top scorer Bothroyd has been come in for a lot of stick from some fans who believe he has been off his earlier season form. There is also talk of him going down to easy to gain free-kicks and penalties and that he as become a target for referees. However, both manager Jones and Chopra have shown support.
Chopra talking about Bothroydi who has not score in the last eight games,
“I‘ve no doubt Jay will get it right very soon. He wouldn’t have scored so many goals this year if he wasn’t doing something right.The team will be out in a few hours and I would be supprised if Parkin gets the nod ahead of Bothroyd.
“It’s part and parcel of being a striker when you go through these phases but it’s how you come out of it. He’s strong enough.
“He hasn’t changed or big-time since he played for England.
“If Jay keeps working hard then he’ll score that goal he needs and he’ll be off again.”
