The summer break is now upon us so no football to report this week but it was a significant week for me as a signed a new deal.
I signed a year’s contract with the club on Thursday so will be a Hornet for at least another season. I made no secret of the fact that I wanted a two-year deal or more but unfortunately this wasn’t on the table, so after much thought I decided to sign the one-year deal and look at it as yet another challenge to win my plac ...

A thrilling comeback against Coventry put to rest any fears of the drop and we emerged victorious by three goals to two at the Ricoh Arena.
In many ways the game summed up our season: we were poor in large patches of the game but showed great character and resolve to fight back against the odds and, deservedly in the end, secured our place in the Championship for another season.
The game looked out of reach at two goals down with time running out but goals fr ...

A disappointing end to the week as we went down to Birmingham.
The positive that did come from the weekend were the defeats for both Norwich and Barnsley which, barring a mathematical catastrophe, guarantees Championship football for us next season.
The game itself was one that, in truth, Birmingham edged. Scott was called into action on several occasions and made some excellent stops and, in my opinion, was our star performer on the day. This was a great tes ...

With a busy Easter weekend schedule I’ve decided to write this after the Norwich game, meaning I have three games to report on this week.
The first came against Southampton; as you could imagine we were disappointed to only gain a point after a fantastic last-minute free-kick denied us all three. But, in truth, after our first-half display we would probably have taken a point and, on balance, it was probably a fair result.
It was also very important ...

The figure of 50 points was reached yesterday after a very accomplished performance away at Doncaster Rovers and a 2-1 victory.
The result means we are now eight points clear of trouble and still have Tuesday’s game in hand. It’s been quite a run that has seen us draw towards safety; in fact after 30 games we had 30 points so to have 50 points after 40 games is quite an achievement and certainly bodes well for next season.
The game itself ...

A quiet week due to the international break we find ourself in.
What it does mean is that I can go into detail regarding the Go Karting trip we went on this week (as I mentioned last week). And I’m happy to report I did indeed emerge victorious!
Twenty-eight players and staff took part; it was held at the Daytona track in Milton Keynes and was a very enjoyable day, although I guess I would say that as I won!
The race itself was v ...
