Hampton 1 Eastleigh 2

From the Ebbsfleet site

Attendance 947 no bad for a cold Tuesday night apparently we just hit the cross bar

Maybe we didnt start the 2nd half too well?

ft 4-0

with a bit of luck we will try on saturday and also pass it at the start instead of hoofing it into spaces and having no one bothered to run for it. Ebbsfleet tore us to bits but we invited them to do it. Might stick the goals up after 1 then highlights of ebbsfleet trying will be up tomorrow early evening. Daisy played ok recond half. Saturdays team starts next game please.

JGFC, Please dont put the highlights up!!

That was woeful no fight, passion or desire tonight, Ebbsfleet are a good team but we gifted them a few goals. Back down to earth with a MASSIVE bump!

Need a big, big reaction Saturday or I fear the worst.

ps im not saying get rid of coylie just give him a bit of protection and faz has got the legs to get up and down. If we play q then we need to sign a cross between mark lewis francis and and usain bolt to play right back.

In a word, terrible. Can't remember their keeper having a shot to save.
Only reason I can see for Healy not starting is that he was ill, as he was probably our best player on Saturday.
Havant's a big match now after tonight

By the sound of it a poor day at the office. The boys ave been fantastic so far lets not jump on there back still plenty of games to go and they can do it .

Hopefully a great game and the weather stays away... Will get the teams up and will update at half time if i get a connection and remember...

Also.... If anyone can bring me a tomato soup and 2 cheeseburgers ,some chips, jam doughnuts, crisps, wagon wheel, orangina, coffee (2 sugars) and a kebab at half time much appreciated...

If I remember rightly, from the last time I went to Gravesend's ground. The burgers were about the worst I've ever tasted. The chicken burger was similar to wallpaper paste. Better off getting one from the Scottish restaurant on the way.

 Strangly one of the highlights tonight was the beef and onion pie I had at the start of the game.

We have more balance with Joe on the left, Play Loick upfront and then we hold on to the ball on the left and dont see faz too far up front on the right.

Jamie changed the team and shape tonight and we never got going. But as has been said no desire, no passion, no effort. Doesnt matter what 11 start if they cant be bothered.

Ebsfleet not the best team weve played this year but destroyed us and our defence caved in time and time again as we just gave the ball away and invited ebbsfleet on to us.

Liam will have got his team up to beat his old club, we made it easy for them.

As said Daisy tried to get us passing second half but why oh why didnt we start passing from the off?

They will show us if this hurt by the performance on Saturday.

I thought Stewart looked really shakey again however Prky and Andrews were not at there usual best. Andrews went off at ht I reckon he was carrying an injury. Live and learn from this performance.

Goals will be up on the Ebbsfleet forum as they have requested them on their forum.

A full highlights package will be up tomorrow, dont expect much in the way of welling action if you werent there.

Goals will be up around 1230am and the link will be in the thread that is linked below on their forum.

Bloody abject. First half was like Hednesford in the Trophy but at least I didn't have a 3 hour drive home to mull it overafter that! The second half wasn't...

Hopefully that has got all the comedy goals out of the way in one go. Improvement in application and quality needed for the weekend as second to everything and too many displayed the control of a block of concrete last night.

And the right footwear would help. A lot easier to play if you aren't spending a quarter of the game on your butt!

Fair play to Daisy in owning up and stating the facts.

More worryingly is that we picked up four bookings last night-Daisy must be near to a ban, which I am assuming is still 5?

The 3rd goal was awful to watch on the night but on the highlights it get worse the more you watch it!

Was Andrews not fit hence why he was subbed?

Even though we took an absoulte dicking last night, our game last night was far better than the dross I have just wathc between the two Manc clubs, oh my gosh what a boring boring game.

I wonder if Andrew was subbed as he was booked in the first minute.

I thought at one point last night that we would have somebody sent off. Players were very frustrated and felt the ref was not on their side. Finishing with 11 players was probably the only good thing to come out of the game

Spot on Chelwing. The ref appeared to be a Homer, but we were lucky not to have some players sent off.  Daisy should know better - he is petulant to a point where it will go against him.
We were there for the first ten minutes, had some good chances, then, for some reason decided to allow Ebbsfleet to take control of the game.  After that, we lost it.  We played some good football, along the ground and caused some problems, but that was shortlived.  Andy Pugh ran his socks off last night, as did Faz ( why was he taken off at half time ? )
We just weren't there and hopefully, will come back stronger on Saturday.

 

I am afraid I do not share your enthusiasm for Faz - injured or not, I was not surprised he was taken off at half time. Virtually every time he got the ball the opposition came away with it - misplaced passes or ran into a defender. I would have Healy and Cumbers on every time instead of Faz. I know they were all guilty of giving the ball away, but for me, he was the worst. He was also not getting back and leaving us exposed down the flank as mentioned in previous posts.

Faz is a good footballer and still worthy of a place in the starting lineup, however where as Healy, Pugh, Clarke, Sambrook and others have progressed and become better under Jamies management, Faz hasn't. He goes through periods of playing really well, then seems to lose his enthusiasm. Jamie has to try and get him to improve and perform as well as i believe he can do on a regular basis, or Faz needs to leave the club at the end of the season.
