So, we got thoroughly mugged, no excuses - the Nigels totally outclassed us. Deal with it, and learn the lessons - our team can be out-psyched and out-fought, just like the Arsenal team we were so often compared to last season. That goes for our fans, too quiet, our friends from Croydon showed how it should be done.
This is football, and as much as last night hurts the old pride, I say 'f*** it!' there's always our game back at theirs to look forward too.
So, we all know how fiercely pro-active and vocal our travelling fans are and always have been. On the day, get to South London early, inflitrate and take over every pub you can see, get to the ground and outsing the Smellhurst Park faithful, show them last night was not symptomatic of us, our fans, and hopefully the team can play like we know they can in response.

People have short memories so hopefully we put in a good performance and win Sat and all this will be forgotten (well almost).
