We need to beat these fooks. The 7-3 capitulation from week 3 still hurts deeply. It always will. :’(

The games seem to get bigger every week but unquestionably this is our biggest challenge yet. A win would do so much for us.

We need a win just to stay in it and even then we need a couple of favours against Aggers.

Its a hugely important game in terms of the pursuit though because whoever loses doesn’t have a chance of catching them.

Even more than that though, it’s a must-win because it was such a galling defeat last time around. We simply imploded in the most embarrassing of fashions. Fell apart and lost not to a collection of better players, but to a better team. And a better team simply by virtue of being a functioning team.

They had a system. Any system. We had nothing.

Brownian motion was the closest thing to our ‘system’.

You have to believe we’re better than that now.
