v Eastbourne Borough

[Gashimoto]

Great game, not quite as good as merthyr but still quality.

 

I dont know why the ref sent off nis and i even spoke to opp supports at half time and they also said it was a yellow at worst.

 

Still even with the ref against us we showed character and skill to hit them on the counter to take the lead.

 

Dobbo was great in the first half and matty gives us a great attacking threat.

 

Midfield and defence worked well to protect what we had.

 

Great game to watch and a deserved three points.

Ah, that goal machine Mendy, what a player  

[Reading Rebel]

What an amazing game.

 

Down to 10 men after 10 minutes and then to go 3-0 up was quite unbelievable stuff. Let them back in with a chance when they scored just before half-time but came out second half, defended like Trojans only for Matty Stevens to pop up with a fine individual goal for his hat-trick.

 

A game that will stick in the memory for a long time.

 

Truly superb performance from all the players but if one player has to get MOTM then Matty Stevens fully deserves it for a quite superb hat-trick.

Unfortunately I couldn’t make yesterday but followed it very closely on Twittter much to my wife’s disagreement! I was amazed as anyone after seeing us lose a player to then see us go 1,2,3 up! Team spirit and confidence must be sky high at the moment and in Matty we have a top striker who is getting better every game. Now the magic 10 game marker has passed I think we can definitely say we’re competing and should hold no fear in this division. Obviously expectations naturally rise the higher you go but would anyone be that surprised if we did make the play offs this season?

[Windsor Rebel]

Too early to talk of play offs, we have not played enough games to judge. Ask me again at Xmas.

[GlenSTFC]

It’s virtually a quarter of the season gone and we’ve played some well established sides in this division. I’m just saying we have a decent chance of 7th if we continue to play as we are.

[Reading Rebel]

Having watched the video from yesterdays game did Nis fouling the player stop him from having a goal scoring opportunity is debatable but possibly correct. 

 

Also the penalty foul was at least on the line so a definite penalty.  

[Neil Baker]

Josh is right there also, so you can say he would get round, it is not denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity, and not deliberate in my opinion... a very harsh red... however does not matter now as we won the game, and he was unavailable next weekend due to a wedding, so that is the game that he will serve his suspension.

[Reading Rebel]

Agree that with Josh close by it was not an 'obvious' goals coring opportunity.

Good video highlights on the Eastbourne site Just google Eastbourne Borough Fc and scroll to videos Good view of all goals and our penalty

[Irishadrian]

Just to get a real sense of yesterdays achievement before yesterday Eastbourne had only lost one game and that to leaders Woking Several of the teams temporarily above us have already lost 4!

[Irishadrian]

We must feel a bit for our old friends and rivals Chesham United Hammered 4-0 yesterday and rock bottom of the league The single point they have was won against the second bottom club who already have four times as many points Their next game is away to Welling in the FA Cup Could there be another FA Cup upset?

[Reading Rebel]

Don't mention cup upsets it gives me the jitters  

[sdelaney]

When was that tall man mountain of a man Benteke score not 10 goals in a season but 5.

Hope the game is on Back of the Net.

[Irishadrian]

Sholing have a game on Tuesday coming with Newport IOW. I guess there'll be a few faces from Slough there

[GlenSTFC]

When you say a few faces from Slough you mean our managers? Can’t imagine any Slough fans would made the trip to Southampton even if they were local? Onto that game itself, I’m sure we’ll prepare in the correct manner and our managers and players should know not to be complacent but with our recent run you have to be confident of getting through plus banking a tasty £9,000.

What did Dobbo do to get booked when celebrating his goal did he take his shirt off.

What did Dobbo do to get booked when celebrating his goal did he take his shirt off.

[/He booted the ball over the stand during his celebration.

[Curtis]

No, he celebrated by kicking the ball over the stand behind the goal.
