Good luck everyone!

I have to hold this team together. It's hard for everyone today. Especially Chris, I think. But... my first game as captain, that's hard enough without all of this to deal with. But I have to hold myself together, because I have to hold everyone else together.
If Cedric were here, he'd have some wise and comforting words. But if Cedric were here, everything would be okay anyway. I miss him. I can't imagine what he would say, my brain just doesn't think like his. But I'm sure he'd be supportive, and I can hold on to that, and it's a little bit like he's still here.
I've been writing my Pep Talk for days. I kept crossing bits out, and I've written it out in neat and learnt it off by heart. I hope it's enough.
We can do this.
