I thought it was appropriate to post something on the back of the game...
Over the years I’ve had my arm split in two, my cheekbone depressed and a few other nasty injuries but none of them compare to the pain of last night. I’m sure soon I’ll look back and be proud of my achievements this season, for on the whole it has been a great season personally. Last night was my 41st game, and the most I have played in one season to date, yet the season has finished on a low. I’m the fir ... Read More
We got the performance we demanded of ourselves but not the result. We changed our formation and caused Hull many problems but unfortunately it was a case of missed chances and some great goalkeeping that means we’ll be going into the second leg two goals down. The feeling we all have is that if today is anything to go by, then we are far from dead and buried - if we can get the first goal that their place then this tie is still very much alive. < ...

One-nil down and down to 10 men, things weren’t looking good but thankfully we dug deep and got the desired outcome. Despite our ups and downs we are in the play-offs, which, after being relegated last term bottom of the Premier League, is an achievement. Obviously we set our aim at automatic promotion but now we have as good a chance as anyone to progress and we’re excited by the prospect. The week itself started on ... Read More
Not the performance or outcome we were looking for...what had been a very good week's training didn’t get taken onto the pitch against Scunthorpe and, as players, we know we have to take responsibility for that. Whenever a game is lost it’s a case of picking our heads up, shouldering any criticism and moving forward. Despite our poor run we still have a great chance of the play-offs and with that, who knows. So we know now is ... Read More
A disappointing end to what had been a promising week. The 2-0 defeat to Palace came as a surprise as we all approached the game in confident mood, especially after our performance last week at West Brom.
After watching the game again I think we all agree it'd have been a different game had we managed to convert one of our chances. It wasn’t meant to be though, and once again it’s time to regroup and refocus on what is now the new challenge, gaining promotion ... Read More
A mixed week on the pitch after a win against Coventry was followed by a disappointing defeat to Barnsley but then a much more spirited performance against West Brom and a 1-1 draw.
With there being a midweek fixture it meant that training was very light this week. We were in every day but we did ‘warm-down’ sessions after the games. A warm-down session will basically involve some light physical work followed by a lot of stretching. Training also in ... Read More
