It was a nice feeling to get the first of what will hopefully be many points on Saturday against Hartlepool, and we're all looking forward to the game against Brentford now, as I'm sure you are too.

We made an horrendous start to the game on Saturday, and it was simply down to just a couple of silly moments, which was irritating.

They are things that are so easy to stop it's laughable really, so once we get that out of our system - which hopefully we can do as soon as possible - then things should be a lot rosier.

I'd like to have seen the possession stats for the game, because I think we bossed it really, especially in the second half.

We looked a lot more like ourselves in that period, so that was encouraging ahead of tomorrow's game, and if we can keep that sort of form at the front of our minds then I'm sure we'll be fine.

I think it showed a hell of a lot of character for us to come back, which is something else we can take into this weekend.

After the massive journey we'd had it would have been easy to just roll over and accept what we were getting, but it was nice that the lads knuckled down and got what was a pretty decent point out of it in the end.

It's Brentford this Saturday and everyone's looking forward to hopefully getting our first win under our belts.

It won't be easy though, as when we played them towards the end of last season here they gave us a tough game and I won't be expecting any different tomorrow - especially with all the players they've brought in.

All the games are going to be even at this stage of the season, as it always takes five or six games for the league to settle down and for teams to sort out where they are.

As long as we give a performance more akin to the second half at Hartlepool rather than the first, then I'm sure we'll be fine.

We'll have to be on our toes, but we should be very confident playing at The County Ground, especially considering how well we've done here over the last 12 months or so, so let's believe in ourselves and get the season going.

See you at The County Ground!
