M4 aiming to play Lich off the pitch (this Saturday) !

So, with 4 games to go we're in 3rd place, and have only 1 thought on our minds as we enter the decisive phase of the League season !

The business end of the season is very much upon us as there are now 4 and a half hours playing time eft for the Mighty 4s to secure a top two finish in the League. The game against Lichfield offers the Sils an excellent opportunity to put into practice their learnings from the weekend's warm weather training camp (well, it was almost 10 degrees on Saturday). However, squad selection is again affected by a number of issues. Steve Aylin came through the session unscathed and features in the squad for the first time in almost three months, but may return in goal as there are doubts over Yogi's availability at present. Brandon Munemo is omitted from the squad of 14, having gone down with a nasty bout of man flu over the weekend, so our thoughts are with him. The Willetts brothers are expected to shrug off jet lag after their respective trips to the English Riviera & IOM, and Sam Teal has reset his biological clock so that if he does give blood, it will be on a Saturday afternoon, and not the night before.

Every game will be vital, but we have to focus on the next game to come, not the ones afterwards. Lichfield are a decent side, as can be seen from some if their results this season, and we know that they have some skilful players. We need to play to our best, and put in a shift and a half for the full 70. Anything less, and we will fall short.

Have a good week all, read up on Simon's excellent midnight notes following the training camp, and see you Saturday.
