Good bit of fitness for us anyway, nice to push ourselves like that. Need to start being a bit more arrogant in defence though, think of all the clean sheets we kept last season. Need to get back to defending like that. Too many mix-ups in our box, and on Sunday way too many free kicks given away when the only pressure they had was from free kicks, we made it hard for ourselves. It's quite a common thing on a footy pitch that your brain kind of switches off, we need to lift ourselves out of that a bit and start realising that if all the attacks we're having in a game are going down the right hand side, then even if you're on the left then if there's nothing obvious going forwards then have a look at switching it. Our strengths will be different in every game, but as a team we need to realise that and work to them in each case.

Okay, latest stats are that Dave Lewis is top of the MOTM points total, but Rob is still ahead on points per game. I now have a better goal to game average than Neil, Matt and John Sills, but my MOTM points suck. Dave Lewis has already reached double figures for the season and is just under a 2 goals per game average. Good to see. Nobody called him a selfish fooker yesterday did they? I was itching for a hattrick but then Dave was itching for 2!!! Got his name on the radio, oooh.
