Quote of the Week
"You're not guaranteed (a win), so keep your nose to the grindstone. That's the message. We're doing lots of things well. We're not getting the two points so we have to do better. We can't go the other way. We can't think we're not doing the right things, because we are. We have to keep at it. We can't afford to do less. Don't get discouraged."
