AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!

Not much more I could think of for a heading, as the frustration mounts, we come to play one of our more accomplished opponents and 'squeaky bum time' doesn't seem to cover my sense of foreboding.

On the plus side, many aspects of our current form are very promising. Last weeks game saw a lot of moving the ball from wing to wing and plenty of crosses into dangerous areas, this is very pleasing to see as we are spreading play and not getting congested. In my mind (as small as it is), we only lack the fitness to compete with many of the teams we play and that is something that is a little out of my control.

All I can ask is that players do some personal training in the breaks between games and hope they can find the time.

We still seem to lack confidence on the ball and given some of the talent available I find that hard to understand. Losing Stuart 'Marathon Man' Dade until after his little Sunday morning amble in a few weeks is a loss. Not over looking his new level of fitness, his attitude and application to his task is first class and the loss of his presence on the field will be something else for us to cope with.

So we need to go into this game with renewed optimism given some of the expansive and exiciting football we have been producing. If we can focus for a whole game and not give in we should be able to turn things around in our favour.

The "confidence on the ball" thing is so key. Why do we seem to think that we are worse on the ball than any of our opponents. We aren't! Puff out your chests, Accies, and make that ball work for you. BELIEVE.
