Chance to express ourselves
3:33pm Thursday 20th March 2008
The gaffer has thrown down the gauntlet for the lads with his comments that he can't wait for the season to end.
He has got a rebuilding job to do and wants to get on with it.
By his own admission he didn't know too much about this level when he came in.
Now he's had a good look and knows what is needed. There are a lot of players out of contract so it's inevitable some will move on.
The lads have to use the rest of the games to put their names at the top of the list when he is drawing up a new squad.
Unfortunately, our play-off hopes are near enough dead in the water so the pressure is off a little bit. But it's an opportunity for us to go out and express ourselves a bit and reward the fans for the fantastic level of support we've been getting all season.
I remember games here against Brentford and Bournemouth at this time of the season when we've really put on a show with big wins and it would be good to do that again and take some confidence into next season.
We've got a tough game at Rotherham first. Having experienced administration myself, it can bring the players together and getting out on the pitch is a welcome release from the uncertainty going on.
The home game was the best of the season and I'm sure we can expect similar on Saturday.
