After missing the last few games through an ankle injury its been frustrating watching the boys and not being able to help. Mind you, i think i shout more when not playing than i do when i am! It was a disappointing result for us in LA in a game where i thought it would be a good time to catch them after their 6-2 defeat the previous week. As the game panned out “becks” was fantastic and with a goal and assist was the major influence on the game. Although we had lots of possession we created very little up front and that was a little disappointing. Great to see julian de guzman make his debut, and he will be a great asset for the club for a number of years to come.

So where do we go from here? Well its simple, we need a minimum of 3 wins to have a chance of making the play offs, even then we might need more but that will put us right in the mix. We face a massive match against chicago at the weekend and this will go to have a big bearing on the outcome of our season. Now is the time for players to step up to the plate, and now there is pressure on each match as a any slip up will cost us big. These games are great to be involved in and have that little extra bit of spice. Its fair to say that we have 4 cup finals left!

As for my own recovery, its coming along nicely and today was my first training day. Strength wise its been fine, but the problem has been the ligaments. With them still being sore, twisting and turning is not a good idea as was shown when i broke down in the warm up at our last home match. I felt i was ok, the physio listened to me but it was clearly not right. Since then, carm (physio) has been great to me in my recovery.
