Martin Allen was in determined and positive mood this morning as he addressed the fans directly for the first time following the weekends FA Cup tie.


"This morning in training the players shaked off their weekend blues. Obviously it was a tough day."

"I don't like talking about the past but I will always stand by my players even if they play with anappitite and enthusiasm and even if we are going to be beaten we give a good account of ourselves andwe certainly did that."


Praising the supporters he said,

"The same must be said of our supporters. Even at three down they continued to back the players with energy and enthusiasm."

"It was another great day that we can learn from and I most certainly left the Valley battered and beaten. But I had my shoulders back and my head up very proud of all those who took part".
