Discarding the superstitious hex the vex nonsense, fun though it is, perhaps our most important 'must win' game is on the horizon, while we watch others hopefully drop a point or two.
Our next match against Hull will be in 12 days time, not an eternity and after a well deserved break. It will be Hull's 3rd game in 8 days and they will have travelled long distances with 2 away fixtures before we arrive. Just like our challenging period a few weeks ago when our form seriously dipped. To echo Spanish and others, I say again that the toll this all takes physically & mentally is significant. And we will have own Manager of the season bristling with confidence. 3 cheers for Kieron, hiw lucky we are to have him!
This spell for Hull includes a 300-mile roundtrip to Coventry on the Wednesday evening prior to our match the following Saturday. They will still be in with a shout so they have to go all out in all their games to keep their playoff hopes alive.
We'll have had two weeks of rest and recovery, hopefully on a beach for a few days, maybe with Burnsy and Hirst back, and Clarke too. Yes we all prefer him and his attacking style to the likeable Tuanzebe.
At the end of such a gruelling season, this will be a huge advantage for us, and gives us every chance of picking up 3 pts.
So we will need to be at our most aggressive, direct and free style passing game from the off. We need to maintain this style into the 2nd half, exhaust them, bring on the right subs and run them off their feet. Our controlling, quick passing possession, pace and intensity has been great to watch much of the season.
We will win this match. Bring it on.
2 - 0 Town.
