2001 Great result on Saturday against Forest. I had to be happy with a place on the bench but it was great to be in the dressing room after. Early on Forest looked good and had a couple of chances, and I was quite worried about their front two but we took control of the game in the second half after Kelvin pulled off another wonder save. He's saved us more than once this season. Great to see Coops settling in so well too and it was a great finish for the second goal. He's a real down to earth guy and deserves opportunity's for all the work he puts in. Disappointing day yesterday with Preston getting another three points but they have a tough last three games so they are still catchable as are Birmingham and West Brom- but I feel we need ten points at least, it can be done! Saw Port Vale lift the LDV trophy as well and was pleased for them as I still know plenty of the lads there. Looking forward to Tuesday's game now with Crewe, we need to be at our very best with no Trond or Kenny. The gaffer isn't giving anything away so I don't know what the team will be but hopefully I'll be involved again in some capacity. There's a few options for him, maybe moving Jason into midfield or Neal or Hughesy could figure somewhere. If it's Neal then hopefully I'll get a run on the wing. Then there's Kenny to replace- Chris Willmott or Rob Gier must be the favourites, both are similar- Chris with more height, Rob with more pace. Training today was an eight a side game, Neal Ardley picked a whack up when he challenged Paul Heald in goal but I think he'll be okay. The pitches aren't too bad over at the Bank of England I just hope Selhurst doesn't get any worse. Saw Damian Francis at the training ground today getting some treatment and he was positive after his operation. He's got quite a bit of movement back after the op and hopefully he will get back as soon as possible. On the injury front we won't see Blackers and Kjetil till pre-season and Damian and Andreas Lund a bit later. Crewe got safe on Saturday so that could be a good thing they might relax enough so we have an easy win- any win will do though.
