Just listened, thought I'd share if you missed him...
- soft sending off - away fans got behind the team extremely well - players angry and disappointed - shame couldn't send travelling support (clapped them off) home with a result - really good performance - massive ask playing Sat/Mon playing large periods with 10 men [Aldershot went 4-5-1 when we did, so was tough] - got down the sides of us - 1 or 2 things in dressing room will remain private but can't ask much more from the team. - real effort from them - players never gave up at 2-0 - kept going right to the end - hope fans turn out in force Saturday. - real room for optimism
--------------------------------------------- Raging at ref & disappointed at losing yet quite optimistic That's me BTW...
Seems to capture the general feeling. Furious and frustrated to lose but definite positives to take. I'm far less concerned after this defeat than I was after the Dover draw when we appeared to be a very average side.

Got to be honest, I wasn't THAT worried after Dover with Neilson etc etc missing. This certainly sounds a lot more promising though I agree. Well suppose we've already seen the promise at home (and away) really.
Probably only be 2 pts come 5pm Saturday. Think we all know it's been dire early season injury's + urine poor ref today. Performances are good ! Anyway I'm leaving in optimistic mood tonight before the doomsday brigade take over. See ya later.
We are going to lose some games aren't we. We have to accept that philosophically, even though we're all infuriated by the curse of the conference - sh1te refereeing once again. Players gave it everything and played with method, skill and determination so nobody should be down on the staff. We'll just have to take it on the chin and move on, and hope that we don't lose too many more. Personally I'm a bit disappointed with the points return/league position and a bit jealous of their striker (Williams) who obviously takes his chances, but there you go - you can't have everything, it's early days and we have experienced mitigating circumstances.
