lcd.print problem

hi all,

this first post, got arduino starter kit couple of days ago , have been working through projects. decided wanted challenge myself , came idea control servo potentiometer , have angle @ displayed on lcd.

all went breadboarding , works fine except display, have says [angle: 0] on start , increase [angle: 178] want.

 but problem comes when decrease angle, keep 2 digits if has been double figures or 3 if triple.

for example; if move servo 100 0 display [angle: 027] (the last 2 digits seem random, never same)

i dont think have explained sorry.

the code have in loop is:

  void loop(){
  potval = analogread(potpin);
  serial.print(" pot val: ");
  serial.print(potval);
  deg = map(potval, 0, 1023, 0, 178);
  serial.print(" angle: ");
  serial.print(deg);
  lcd.setcursor(0, 0);
  lcd.print("angle: ");
  lcd.setcursor(7, 0);
  lcd.print(deg);
  myservo.write(deg);
  delay(15);
} 

code: [select]

lcd.setcursor(7, 0);
  lcd.print(deg);
  lcd.print("  ");

where square brackets in examples coming ?  not printed in code posted.
