 Marc Seager WTFC manager: speaking after WTFC verse Lordswood: “Second week running we have been down to ten men, but to take four points out of six when we need to dig deep into our resources and showed great courage to get something out of the game. One of my philosophies is that I believe the mark of a good side is that if they can’t get all three points, then they don’t get beat.

A lot of teams would have panicked going a goal down with only ten men, can you say what kept them going?
We showed today that we have something different about us this year, sure we are the team that everyone is trying to turn over, but all good sides have to cope with that, and I believe we are a good side. I think last weeks sending off was a bit harsh, this week was just plain silly as Andy was walking a tightrope after his first half yellow and he let himself down. Look Andy (Constable) is the sort of player who wears his heart on his sleeve and sometimes he does some silly things he knows he has made a mistake he said his bit in the dressing room and we move on. If we had finished the game with eleven men we would have won today, we were right on top then down to ten men, then a goal down, we showed character coming back to grab a point but what’s happened has happened and we move on. If the game had been five minutes longer we would have won, we were right on top and you’d have thought that we were the side with eleven instead of the other way round. And although we dropped points today we are still un-beaten and mentally that gives such belief.

‘We are getting back to full strength’ Whitstable manager Marc Seager told the WTFC website: “we now have Mickey Lane and Josh Maine nearly back to full fitness and Sam Prett, who we thought at one time would be out for at least a couple of months has made great strides in recovering from his injury. Sam has tried a completely new training and fitness regime, which seems to have worked wonders.   Starting with the match against Erith this Saturday at the ‘Belmont Ground’ we have a few tough games coming up which means we need to be at full strength, all my strikers are fit and I would say that any one the four would walk straight into any Kent League side. Last night we had a fantastic training session with all the lads really working hard as they know all over the park we have competition for places at the club, which I feel is a very healthy position to be in. yes it means that I have to be aware that every player, at whatever level wants to play every week. But that’s part of my job, which I find a challenge to pick the right players who I believe will do the job on any given day for Whitstable Town. The spirit at the club is fantastic we have some great players at the club and with the youngsters pushing through from the reserves and U18’s it means that the future of the club is built on solid foundations.”

Staging Margate was a "massive learning curve" for promotion chasing Whitstable - EXCLUSIVE PDF Print E-mail
Sunday, 01 October 2006

WTFC manager Marc SeagerWhitstable Town chairman Mr Tony Rouse admits yesterday?s FA Cup second qualifying round game against their fourth placed Ryman Premier League neighbours Margate at the Belmont was a ?massive learning curve? for the Kent League club, writes Stephen McCartney.www.kentishfootball.co.uk

A passionate crowd of 1,114, the largest at the Belmont for nearly forty years, witnessed an enthralling FA Cup clash and the Oystermen were in dreamland when Jake Gess scored his fourth goal of the season after 40 minutes - but against the run of play.

But the Kent League brave hearts, who are still on top of the table after collecting maximum points from their first six league games, suffered heartbreak as two late goals, scored by Lawrence Yiga and James Pinnock, sent the Thanet side through.

WTFC manager Marc Seager
Seager thanks the fans??Last week in the local media we asked the supporters to supply us with a ?12th man? I have said before  the fantastic support we receive from the people of Whitstable can almost be worth a goal when we play at home.? Whitstable manager Marc Seager said after his young side defeated Croydon Athletic in the F. A. Cup 1-0 at their ?Belmont Ground?. ?I don?t think Athletic brought any more than 20 supporters with them; when you consider our gate was 320, which was amongst the top attendances for the F.A. Cup at this stage of the competition for the whole of the country. It?s a measure of the way the locals responded, so I need to say thanks to them for the support.    I am so pleased we have the chance to play at home either Margate or Fleet Town in the next round on the 30th September; all our Cup matches before Saturday have been away. If it?s Margate the Belmont will be rocking, it will be the biggest local derby in the Town for years I can tell you. If its Fleet, we shall approach the match in exactly the same way, they should bring a decent amount of supporters so we await the result of their replay tomorrow, (Tuesday) before we can make any plans for the match. All in all it?s been a great start to the season for the club but we need to keep our feet on the ground and concentrate on the next match, which is at home tomorrow evening in the Kent League against Deal. The F. A. Cup is on the back burner for the moment; we have a game next Saturday in the F.A. Vase away against Oakwood before I have to start preparing for the next F.A Cup match on the 30th September.?
