NEWS: Morgan activates play-off mode for final push

Aspray Glasgow West sponsored Glasgow Clan head coach Jason Morgan has admitted his team are in play-off mode going into the final few weeks of the season.

His team take on Fife Flyers in a double header starting on Friday at Braehead Arena (face off 7:30pm) before both teams conclude the weekend in Kirkcaldy on Saturday.

And with the two sides heavily embroiled in a scrap for the top eight places, Morgan is only interested in going one way.

“If you look at the standings, there’s three points between us and we have two games in hand, plus we’re six points from fourth,” he said.

“It’s been such a competitive league this year, very tight, but we’re only interested in going in one direction and that’s up.

“But we’ve spoken about the importance of every point and having that play-off mentality going into this stretch, where you need to be disciplined.

“You’ve also got to sacrifice the body as well as your own personal goals for the team objective, and that’s been touched on in the video sessions this week.

“There have been a lot of ups and downs with the injuries we’ve suffered and the adversity.  It’s more the consistency part of it, when someone goes out for six or seven weeks and they come back so aren’t yet at 100% right away.

“It can take a month and a number of games to get back into shape, get their timing back and to feel comfortable.

“You can practice as much as you can, but unless you’re playing the game, you don’t get that conditioning from playing minutes.

“The guys have been building through the week and looking to the games against Fife, and we all believe in the group going forward.”
