I know the guys are really excited about the play-offs and so am I.

This is what you work all season for, so we really want to peak at the right time.

Admittedly, going into the play-offs on the back of three straight defeats is not the best preparation.

But hopefully we can return to the form we were in before we got struck down with injuries.

It doesn't matter which team you are, if you have your first line missing, you are not going to win too many hockey matches. John Wheaton and Tomas Janak should be back which will add good experience.

We have got a lot of youth in the side which will hopefully work in our favour too.

But our form in the second half of the season, and the last few months in particular, has been good.

We will probably need to win four play-off games to make it to finals weekend at Coventry and I feel confident we can do that. We have had some good results this season against the teams in our group, so we have nothing to fear.

I know we lost our final league game 4-2 against Slough Jets but the play-offs are completely different to the league.

Against Saturday and Sunday's opponents Bracknell we have won two out of the seven games.

We know they are beatable, and their weaknesses.
