Match Preview by Tony Dwyer
OK guys - the best team in the Midlands, Stoke City - why didn't they win the Premier league last season? It wasn't their results against the top teams that cost them, no - it was the points lost against lesser teams, like Aston Villa.
In our case we've just had a brilliant result against top 'o the table Hampton, but the games we need to win are those against the likes of this week's opponents, lowly Bromsgrove. We had no problem motivating ourselves against Hampton - everyone put in a real shift, and we were all dead on our feet at the end. It was really only our exhaustion that let H off the hook. We left nothing in the changing rooms, we gave absolutely everything on the pitch, and it has to be exactly the same this week!
Same motivation, same commitment, same taking of responsibility, same taking charge from the start. Start fast, finish fast. Three points!
See you Saturday!
