19 april
2001 Thursday after the Sheffield game and feeling pretty positive about our chances. Got some stick on Tuesday night though, but I wasn't happy with the Sheffield press bringing it up in the local paper before the game. For those people who don't know, when I was at Port Vale I was involved in a tackle with Sheffield Utd midfielder Dane Whitehouse which unfortunately led to the early end of his career due to knee ligament problems. Those who know me will know I went in 100% as usual but never meant to hurt anyone -I never would. Myself and Dane were in contact after the incident and I wish him all the best, but I still get loads of stick from the Sheffield Utd crowd. On the game side of things it was a great result for us, keeps us right in the pack and it was great to see Andy Roberts score. He's been playing well lately in midfield and lets Trond, who was our man of the match I think, get forward more often. I played down the middle which isn't totally foreign to me but I do prefer the wing where I can run at people more. It was good experience for me though and I just enjoy playing no matter where it is. I thought Wayne Gray looked very sharp when he came on and think he's a great prospect for us, he was unlucky not to score. The closest they came to scoring was hitting the post and that wouldn't have beaten Kelvin if it wasn't for the divot that it hit on the way. Good to get another clean sheet though. Yesterday was our day off and myself, Trond and David Nielsen got together for a bit of a jamming session, those two on guitars and me singing. It was really good and David's good on the guitar. It'd be great to do a gig sometime, maybe next season though, no time to prepare at the moment, premiership is the priority. Training today was just a warm down with plenty of stretching with Jon Goodman. He's had a very positive effect at the club and we do things very professionally now. Games of two touch to finish which is keeping the ball up with two touches each, drop it 3 times and your out. Trond's usually top man at this but Andy R and Darren Holloway were the best today. Darren just sneaking it I think. Massive game to look forward to on Saturday and Jason and Hughsie did some light training today so maybe the squad will change a bit. I've been looking at the league table and think we really have to win 4 out of 5, to give ourselves a good chance, and I reckon we can do it. Been to McDonalds this afternoon but don't worry my diet hasn't gone out the window it was to meet some of the young fans involved with football in the community. It was a good afternoon and hopefully we will see some more youngsters at the game Saturday Let's do the Forest!!
