Everybody is raring to go for Saturday's game - everybody, it seems, apart from me as I sit the game out through suspension.

I'm still training with the lads and - even though I don't find it easy watching games - I'll be willing the lads on because it is a must-win game for us.

Being suspended is not quite as bad as being injured because - even though you haven't got a game on Saturday to look forward to - you are still training and involved with the lads day-in, day-out. When you are injured the frustration at not being able to kick a ball around is there as well.

That said, my two-game suspension for accumulating ten bookings over the course of the season feels like I've been out for ages.

It's just my luck that we had a run of two games a week for a month or so and my ban ends up lasting for 27 days, when we play only twice. But that's football, I suppose.

Personally I think the rule when you stop suspensions for five bookings in February but continue to ban players who have picked up ten bookings when there is so little time left is a little silly - but that's the decision of the football authorities and I have to respect that. And not get booked so much!

The biggest thing is the club is still in with a good shout of reaching the top six. It may seem we are a long way off at the moment, but the key thing is that everybody involved in the race still has to play everybody else and points are bound to be dropped.

We have been playing decent football recently without building up a consistent run of results but the camaraderie and togetherness is stlll there in the dressing room and we all still believe we can make into to the top six.
