We wouldn't have beaten Alsager playing like that never mind Aldershot. Too many poor individual showings, bit of stage fright and too much naivety. The similarities to the 0-3 at Stevenage on our last return to the top flight where there to see.
You can put as much preparation in as you like, but things that can't be coached about this league are its unforgiving nature, that can only be learnt. Don't stand off, they'll have it off you, don't let the ball run out, they'll keep it in, don't let it roll back to you keeper, they'll be on their toes and create a chance out if it.
Not that upset because we've seen this before, dust ourselves down and on to Lincoln Tuesday.
Be strong, be ruthless, be unforgiving, that's what we are dealing with. Get a a chance take it, be patient, be clever, dont buy into their tactics, don't lose heart, you can operate at this level, learn from today, move on and dictate games, we're a good side.
