Pre Game Thoughts

Well todays practice went well with the usual aches and pains of the coaching staff being helped by the morning coffee and diet coke.  Just kidding, the guys aches and pains were worked out as best we could with a re-gen session with lots of stretching and movement but nothing too strenuous as we plan for tomorrow.  Except for Shaban who possibly broke his nose with his brave header late in the game to save a certain goal everyone else came through the game and practiced today.  A tough decision tomorrow with more guys showing they are available to play but a selection dilemma I would love to have every game as competition for places is a healthy process to have.

Tomorrow's game sees us visit VCU and another trip to Richmond VA.  VCU are coming off a great 4-1 defeat of 14th nationally ranked Charlotte on Friday night so they will be on top of the world right now.  With only one other loss this season they have proved that their addition to the A10 conference is only going to strengthen the soccer conference further.

For us it was the end of a 4 game losing streak and possibly the hardest victory I have been involved in.  We should be going into the game with a high level of confidence ourselves after that win and knowing the goals we scored we top class.  We know what we do well and I know from Fridays win the lads realized what other things we can do well and what we can achieve if we have the desire to play this way every game.

Magic Moment of the Day
Seeing the players to congratulate them for the last time at get them back to earth for tomorrow
