Speaking to the site Brown said, "Ideally I need to get Dave Lee on loan. I am aware that people have been questioning why Dave hasn't been playing. It is a big ask to throw him straight back in after his ordeal. It may be a case that we have to but I would have loved him to have had a month somewhere and for him to come back match fit and hungry. We will see about that one. Dave doesn't miss a training session and if we can get him back in we will".
Following several up and down performances, supporters have been questioning why the experience of Lee has been left sitting on the bench if he was not fully fit - however Lee is believed to have told one supporter that he is fully fit - he's just not being picked.
