Simmer

No blog Friday and no blog last night. We arrived quite late at the hotel on Friday, and with the Internet charges running into the 20's I decided to opt out. Last night we returned home around 11 p.m but I was in a very bad mood, so anything written would definitely have been in haste!!.
Having had time to reflect, the mood hasn't lifted, but the thought process has had time to simmer. After having had such a good start in our first game yesterday's showing was well below par, in fact I can't remember seeing five goals go in against us for a long, long time. As always I look at myself first, and I am far from happy, a few choice words were said after the game followed by a few more this morning.
While most people were in bed relaxing we were all at the training ground, what was left of the weekend ruined by 90 bad minutes!.
We all now have to react well, as we have done over the last two seasons, and look to beat Burton. Some things have happened at the club, close season, that have been far from perfect and yesterday's performance seemed to reflect that to me. There are no excuses on the pitch but we all have to make sure that the club is going in the same direction and that everybody is singing from the same page. If not it will be a long, hard season.
A big thanks to everybody who made the journey to London to support us.

Today, as is usually the case after defeats the tension at home was at a high level!. The added combination of job hunting, the recession, wage cuts, rental properties, as well as the obvious loss, doesn't mix well. A walk on the beach, a strong coffee and four big hugs has soon sorted that !!!!.
