Good morning everyone.
A tad less chilly this morning, here in S Bucks. Was -5C yesterday morning. The E wind made it feel considerably colder. Today it's a grey start but dry, so the dog walk should be OK. Rain forecast for later and 14C tomorrow!!! Balmy by comparison.
Stiill reflecting on what happened to Jack yesterday at HQ. Our luck with our best young players seems significantly worse than other clubs - Sam, Danny, Tom Rees to name but a few.
As each match day arrives, I now have increasing trepidation as to how we will perform. After our performances against Quins and Saints, we do appear to have a vulnerability about us. The second half last week was a marked improvement on the previous 120 minutes, but sadly, we blew our chances to have won the game.
Today, is not life or death - there, after all, is no relegation this season, but a good win today would see us fly up the table - we really need (and aspire) to be in the top flight in Europe next season.
The squad that plays today should be good enough to win the game. I just hope that their heads, collectively, are in the right frame of mind. The forecast weather conditions might be an issue as light rain and a temperature just above freezing, could impact on handling the ball.
Hopefully it will all fall into place today and we can relax with a beer and enjoy what we are watching.
