We were up at the usual time for breakfast as we fuelled up for the morning session ahead.

Today was our last day in The Hague and it was also matchday so we were up at half eight in the morning for some breakfast and after that we had some time to finish up packing a few bits and pieces before we departed for the game.

The day had arrived for the much anticipated game against Scunthorpe United. this time we were allowed to have an extra hour in bed which gave the boys a slight buzz when they found out.

Again my alarm was set for an 8.00 call but was again ignored for an extra few minutes sleep. Breakfast was at half eight and the bus was to depart for the training complex shortly after.

After a very early wake-up, we all met up at the club’s ground – Vicarage Road. At no surprise 99 per cent of the lads turned up looking half asleep including myself.
