If we were going to lose this weekend was the time do it. Dust ourselves off and push on What? At home in front of 7,400 fans, against a team 5 places below us, with a chance to pull clear of Barnet and their game in hand? Rich, I admire your positivity, but this was NOT the time to do it. With Barnet losing yet again, this was our epic chance to put some blue sky between us and them. Still, plenty to play for yet. We're still just as much top as we were this morning. A bad day for us and another bad day for Barnet. Rich may mean because of the other results. We dodged a bullet today. |

Not perfect for us. Could have been much worse. |

Forgetting he finished fantastically for a harder chance... Im pretty sure something happened just before the goal was scored as all the Eastleigh players just stopped moving. Either thay felt the ball at the free kick was still moving after it was placed by McChrystal but taken quickly by Parkes or Taylor was offside? As far as Taylor hanging around the goalie I assume he'd been instructed to stop him rolling the ball out and wasting even more time but make sure he kicked it from his hands? No idea why he's been singled out tonight as it was our entire midfield whom let us down today, along with Mildenhall who had a complete shocker in the first half. |

we were out of sorts today with NOBODY playing well but lets hope weve got it out our system and luckily other results pretty much went for us.
think we should guve eastleigh credit aswell. you could tell they have spent money on their forward line, were well organised especially always keeping a high line which we constantly got caught offside on, frustrated our crowed and scored at the perfect times, fair play.
we go again.......

We're toppermost of the poppermost still, as John Lennon once said, although he may have been under the influence of dubious herbs or pills at the time. |

I agree that the midfield and Mildy are more to blame than Taylor, but he still deserves a bit of stick because of the amount of times he was caught offside. It just slows the game down, breaks up play and gave Eastleigh the ability to time waste. You can definitely stand in a position to stop the ball being rolled out without being right under the keeper's nose. |

Have the Defence and Attackers fallen out with the midfield? When we played it along the floor (maybe the only time) in the second half, Blissett hit the bar (think it was offside, but at least it was a good move and attempt!). I was in the West Stand, and the lino in front of us totally missed (bottled) everything, inc the foul that lead to our goal! I was at the wrong end of the pitch for their first, did it take a deflection? Or just go through everyone, including Mildy's legs? Talking of Mildy, what's with his slicing kicks from his hands? It went through his legs !! His kicking was so inept - compare it to their keeper. |

Was at the game so I missed the radio interview with DC and I can't find it anywhere online. Can anyone give me the jist of it? Did he say what positions he would be looking to strengthen?

Isn't that basically what happens with every linesman on either side at all games this season (and most other seasons)? Other than offside decisions, since they were upgraded to 'assistant referees' if I had a quid for every time I've seen one actually assist a referee this season I'd have £4...£3 if you take a quid back for the decision one gave (but got massively) wrong against Lincoln...swear to god I don't know why they don't start running courses at Universities, getting students to run the line in preparation for a career in refereeing...and for anyone who says they've not got the experience for it, how could they do any worse than the current shambles? And glad it's not just me who hates Mildy's kicking. Surely this could be fixed in a couple of weeks with practise? Stop kicking under it, hit it cleaner and follow through...every time he gets backspin on it (ie most times) it just makes it easier for any defenders attacking the ball... |

You know what we missed? Sinclair. His energy and tackling would have broken Eastleigh up a lot more.

I can't remember word for word, but basically what is being said by many on here, i.e. Too many players put in a poor perfromance today and it is not good enough. He was complementary of the job Eastliegh did on us from the start and refused to moan about them. He praised the support. He reflected that we were fortunated because of the Barnet and Macclesfield results. Importantly, he said we had players returning from injury this week and that he was looking to add to the squad early in the week. I think that's about it. |

We could well be facing them twice more in the not too distant future do we need to get that game out of our system quickly.

We need to spend some of the MCP Capital loan on two players this week, an experienced attacking midfielder & a centre forward, failing which I fear we'll bottle it if we end up on the Play Offs lottery.
