Horsham manager John Maggs is refusing to get downbeat after a narrow defeat at Slough Town.
The Hornets found themselves 2-0 down after half an hour to a brace from Ian Hodge before Gary Charman pulled one back just before the interval.
Charman, who hit the woodwork twice, scored again after the break but Hodge had already completed his hat-trick to claim the points for Slough.
Maggs said: "We didn't perform in the first half an hour but in the end we went down fighting. We gave it a real go and you can't be too upset if you do that."
