James Penrice has revealed he chose putting in the hard yards over a holiday during the winter break because he's determined to regain his form.The 23-year-old was one of the Lions' most consistent performers last season but a niggling injury caused havoc physically and mentally at the start of this campaign - which led to a heart-to-heart with boss David Martindale.That sparked a change in the local lad and he's keen to prove that on the pitch, starting with the visit of Dundee United today.He said: "We had nine days off.
I was tempted to go away somewhere warm but I decided to stay at home and go to the gym and make sure I was ready to hit the ground running.“I wasn’t playing a lot before the break and that’s something I want to change to get myself in the team.“In the first half of the season I had a few injuries, so I couldn’t go and sit on a beach and give in.
