Well, it has been back to the drawing board this week as the whole squad tries to get back to winning ways.

Saturday's defeat was a blow but every member of the team has grafted and been focused on putting things right for the Watford game.

We all knew the importance of Saturday's game and we were all disappointed at the result but I can assure everyone that it hurt badly, as no-one likes propping up the League and especially when you're double champions and not accustomed to such depths.

All I can say is I believe we will get it right and these are not idle words spoken through a misplaced sense of loyalty. This is the honest opinion of a squad member who knows the players and coaching staff's strengths and weaknesses.

I have been in a relegation side before and after ten games I knew we were going down as the team had little character, too few winners and very little fight.

The Albion, however, have these in abundance. A winning quality doesn't appear overnight and as a club we are surrounded by people who are prepared to fight for the good of the Albion.

So if we harness all these qualities together we can overcome the difficulties which we are now faced with. A famous statesman once said: "Never enter a room without knowing where the exit is."

However, we as a squad are not looking for an easy way out as we've worked too hard to get here to just give it up without the most almightly battle. I would like to thank all those who have sent cards and messages of support to the team. Your support as fans is vital to us and we thank you for the time and effort you have gone to.

On a positive note, I'd like to congratulate Danny Marney on receiving the PFA Player of the Month Award. It is a fantastic achievement, especially as it's his first season. This award is an internet vote, so I hope the Marney household are on freeserve, otherwise the bill could be astronomical.

Well most of my week has been spent with the wounded down in Prisoner Mal Block H and it's been a bad week for the medical staff.

Firstly, Dr DoLittle (Mal) discovered someone (and I'm not naming any names) had broken the computerised exercise bike and not told him anything about it. Now I don't know if it was the fact it was broken, or that no-one (keepers) had owned up, but placid Malcolm went into one, shouting and threatening to keep us there all night.

He looked like a demented Womble but, after three KitKats and a packet of Diet Pork Scratchings plus Robbie Pethick's DIY job, we managed to calm him down.

Then Louis's week really went pearshaped on Tuesday when he couldn't find his little red mini in the car park as someone had pushed it deep into the bushes.

He looked for his little red baby for ages and only found it when Tony Blackburn discovered it while doing his weekly challenge.

Then we set ourselves a rowing machine challenge where the loser had to buy the lunches. Myself and Robbie set good times then came Michel Kuipers who set a Steve Redgrave-like time to totally obliterate our efforts, thus it was down to Louis to decide the food buyer.

He, however, was more like Vanessa Redgrave and came a pitiful last and thus had to part with £17.80. Myself and Robbie had our usual protein snacks which came to a fiver.

However, Michel milked it for all it was worth and went for the Dean White special (all you can eat in an hour). My free chicken roll has never tasted so good. So thank you the Mexican.

And finally I'd like to give our chef (Jeffrey Melton) at Falmer a special mention for rustling up some of the best salmonella-free snacks you can get and all in under an hour.

He specialises in a great vegetarian ham sandwich and the protein platter favoured by our moon-booted muppets (Pethick and Pingu). Good work, fella.
