Thanks to the loyal readers of TerrasBlog who have contacted me with messages of support after yesterdays blog. I didn't mean for it to be so downbeat, but thanks for the concern and good wishes. It is much appreciated.

Tonight sees the Terras looking for a second pre-season win when Bristol City visit the Wessex Stadium. I must say I don't like Gary Johnson very much. He managed that shabby lot who play in green and I am sorry, but I don't forgive that easily.

It can't be argued that he is a brilliant manager though. He did a reasonable job at Cambridge, no idea what he did with Latvia, but her certainly dragged the scummers up by their boot laces.

His brother on the other hand was a crap manager.

Once he had taken the Glover lovers as far as he could he was right to move to a bigger club and grudgingly I have to respect the fact that they probably deserve to be playing Premiership football this season.

But they are not and they will have to get over it and show that last season was no fluke in reaching the play-offs. Good luck with that.

Most of the pre-match talk has been about Stephen Henderson, the goalkeeper who ended the season learning his trade with us. JHMBE has been desperately keen to get him back but injury has scuppered that move.

Johnson has rightly said that he doesn't want to loan players at the moment, rather they fight for a first team jersey. But if I am honest I can see Henderson returning and playing a part in our season.

Good luck to the Terras tonight.
