With this group being so unstable, we have to just concentrate on making the playoffs. We can win three in a row and we can take it from there. We have the talent to do so.

While he was playing during the summer, Dave landed on his shoulder and hurt his shoulder. He wasn't able to play at all for three months, so this year has almost been a waste for him. But he does everything we ask of him and he plays hard. He just needs to get a little stronger.

He's a great role player. He's our most respected player and one of our captains. He's always positive, always upbeat and plays so hard every night.

For some reason when our backs are against the wall we regain our poise and play smarter. In the second half we did a good job of being patient and waiting for the defense to give us an opportunity.

Psychologically, it's always better to win your group and that's what we'll try to do.

A Leicester maiden win and fifth place in a Group Three suggests this horse must have shown something special at home to be the subject of such a sustained gamble.
