"No bout it will be a tough task" said the boss
"We'll give it our best as always and I'm more looking forward to seeing how our players perform against some of the best in the country"
Allen also updated on the injury situation saying,
"Oli, Framo and Marcus have niggling knocks but nothing too serious"
As expected the boss has added trailist John Mesinho and Karleigh Osborne to the squad for tomorrows game and also a special 24 hour loan signing who may be making an appearance but Allen was keeping his lips sealed about the players identity. It may be the lucky winner of the number 13 shirt from Tuesday.
Allen also commented on the Orient game saying,
"There are a lot of good things that came out of the game but there are a couple of areas we need to improve on quite significantly to ensure long term success."
Finally Allen told of how the Bees Michael Turner was given the privallege of delivering the wickets to the Oval this morning for the Ashes game.
More from the boss tomorrow after the Charlton game.
