Whitstable manager Marc Seager described his side’s performance when losing to Burgess Hill Town 4-0. “I am very proud to be manager of Whitstable Town but believe me that defeat really hurt, the players myself and my management team, all of us are like a wounded animal after a defeat like that.

As a manager you never set out your stall to play poorly, we always have a game plan, the players know what is expected of them but today we all let ourselves down. We let the club, the supporters and just as importantly we let ourselves down and failed to reach the standards expected of us.

If I was a supporter who paid eight quid to watch us today, I would not be very happy believe me but we will bounce back, look; everyone has a bad day at the office now and then and we have just got to put this to one side and get back to how we know we can play.

Some of the supporters, the very same ones who were saying we were the best things since sliced bread when we went unbeaten for a spell of tens games at the end of last season, those same supporters now say we are rubbish. At the end of the game there were some supporters who vented their frustration, the same supporters who clapped us of the pitch four days earlier when we beat one of the favourites to win the leaguer, enough said.

One game, in this case a defeat doesn’t make or ruin a club at this early stage in the league campaign, I will be looking to put this right and I accept that as the manager I have to look at myself and analyse what I am doing wrong, I am still early in me managerial career but want to improve, in the long run as hard as I am hurting now I will learn from a day like today. But I will just add that wounded animals have a peculiar habit of biting back just when you think they are finished, and we are far, far from finished.”
