That familiar rallying cry was unsurprisingly trotted out by Christian Fuchs after the Austrian watched his Newport County side slump to a 3-0 loss to Oldham Athletic in his first game as manager.
A battling first half against the Latics ensured the Exiles stayed in the game at Boundary Park, although Josh Hawkes netted either side of former Newport loanee Joe Quigley's goal in the second half as the hosts ultimately cruised to victory.
As Newport's own match report suggested, the chastening nature of the second period in Greater Manchester will have served to fully emphasise the scale of the task that lies ahead for Fuchs.

The Oldham defeat - Newport's 12th loss in 17 league games this season - leaves the Exiles at the foot of the League Two table and five points adrift of safety.
So it may well seem puzzling as to why Fuchs - capped 78 times by his country and a shock winner of the Premier League with Leicester City in 2015-16 - even took the role at Rodney Parade in the first place.
The 38-year-old has spent the last few years in America, joining Major League Soccer side Charlotte FC upon his departure from Leicester in 2021, although he had a loan stint with Charlotte Independence immediately after crossing the Atlantic in a bid to maintain peak fitness ahead of the 2022 MLS season with his parent club.

After ending his playing career, Fuchs stayed in North Carolina to form part of Charlotte's coaching staff, led by Christian Lattanzio.
The Italian was replaced by former Walsall, Brentford, Aston Villa, Norwich City and Leicester boss Dean Smith in December 2023 - with Fuchs remaining a part of the Englishman's staff right up until his recent departure for Newport.
The pull of an EFL role is understandably strong, particularly one that afforded Fuchs the opportunity to take up the position of being a first team boss for the first time in his career.
But with Newport in such jeopardy, saying Fuchs' decision is a gamble – leaving the American top-flight for a club sitting rock bottom of the Football League and at serious risk of falling into non-league for the first time since 2013 - would be an understatement.
Fuchs has seven games left to navigate in the current calendar year before the January transfer window opens, and there is no doubt the former left-back will need considerable support from chairman Huw Jenkins in the winter market.
Newport's squad is chronically lacking the kind of experience and know-how required to give the Exiles a chance of navigating their way out of the perilous position they find themselves in.
Whether Jenkins is even in a position to give Fuchs any kind of financial support in the opening month of next year remains to be seen.
You would suspect those particular details would have formed a key part of the discussions between the pair before Fuchs was officially named as David Hughes' successor at Rodney Parade.
Ultimately, confidence at the club is likely to be as low as Newport's league position at present.
So, the coming weeks and months may be ugly when it comes to the playing style, but the Exiles simply have to build the kind of steeliness and resolve that will go a long way to ensuring Newport can at the very least be competitive again.
"We need to make sure that we solidify our shape behind the ball, solidify our defence, get something on the board and then hopefully that gives them a little bit more confidence and we can create momentum, because that's definitely not there right now," said Fuchs after Saturday's loss.
And in a statement that shows he is capable of mastering the art of understatement, he added: "I don't blame the boys, they haven't had a good season so far."
