Let's just remember that Tuesday is a one-off and whatever the result lets let it go after the whistle goes.

If we lose it's not the end of football at the park. The league is still most important, staying in this league must be of prime concern. Though a good cup run would have been nice.

If by some fluke we win then we will not gain automatic promotion to the premiership to take on the mighty Reading. The next game will be down to earth and lets remember we will get no respect from the next opponents based on one result.

We should welcome AFC the way we were welcomed on our trip last year. AFC are a great club with football supporters who come to watch football. Who can forget the party that was our home game against them last year!

Lets get behind the team and enjoy the day.

Team play your part in making this a day to remember, whatever the result you know that if you've played well the supporters will be cheering you at the end.

Hope it's a good night tomorrow. Hope to see a big crowd, lots of singing and good natured banter. It's always good to entertain a team in a higher league, especially if the standard of football is good. I hope we see some quality football from AFC Wimbledon, and I hope we come away with the dignity of having made them work hard. A bit optimistic to hope that we will win, but good luck Hillians anyway! Football is a funny old game, you never know what might happen!

Wimbledon team news for tonights game:

Dave Anderson announced the following squad for the game at Burgess Hill tonight, kick off 7.30:

Paul Smith; Josh Lennie; Casey Maclaren; Wayne Finnie; Simon Sobihy; Lee Kersey; Jon Boswell; Joe Paris; Wes Daly; Simon Sweeney; Scott Curley; Robin Shroot; Byron Bubb; Darren Grieves; Richard Butler; Niall Connery

Dave commented "We have already played a lot of intensive games this season and several of the squad have got strains and knocks, so we are resting a few of them, just to be on the safe side. Nonetheless, this is a strong squad because this is a competition we want to stay in and do well in. We are looking for a good result, no question."

Dave will be assisted on the bench tonight by Simon Bassey and John Morris who are back at Leylands Park following a visit there with the reserves for the Suburban League cup last Saturday. Meanwhile, Jon Turner and Warren Kelly will be watching other games tonight.

Dave added "there is a reserve team game on Thursday night and we are hoping that this will see the welcome return from injury of Chris Gell."

Great game, and very exciting! Good luck to AFC Wimbledon.

On a more important note, fantastic performance from the Hill. If we could play to this standard every week we would walk away with the league title. I hope we do perform like this more often.

There was no pressure on us and it showed as we put in a great performance. Missed the first 15 minutes, came in as Wimbledon got their equaliser but after that we fought and we were unlucky not to either take them into extra time (Luckily it didn't!) or get a win. Good to see some kids in the stand singing with us and I hope they come back for the visit of Croydon Athletic on the 14th, well done Hill, build on this performance and we can climb the table and beat Waltham Abbey in the Trophy on Saturday
