Eastbourne Borough Away 5th Dec 2020

[PeteSamson]

Thanks to Kevin at Eastbourne for the commentary and streaming details. I wonder how many were viewing the streaming?

[Ozymandias]

I thought the streaming was very good as was the Commentary. Can't understand the Jebb question as he seems to free up Jacob and Noor to do their thing and does it remarkably well. When Jacob scored I spilt my beer as I rose from the deck-chair.
I watched the highlights of the Everton game this morning against some team and what I liked was the fact they had players out wide who put decent balls into the box. (See Eastbourne's second). That's what I think we are missing, with players like Brabham, Pavey, Dickson and Sheringham in the box, why when we do go on the overlap does that player then stop and knock it back to another. Too much fancy play, one pass too many (sometimes two). We have players begging for the ball into the box and by the time they get it the defence has gathered.
I'm sure Steve wants it done his way.
Apart from that I thought it was a very good game, end to end. But we got what we deserved. Okay we had teams behind losing, but with the chances we created I felt we could have been 5 points ahead this morning instead of two.
Again, we need to bounce back with a win immediately and hopefully we will. MOTM for me Jacob.

As others have said it's the strikers letting us down at the moment with Dickson having three good chances early in the game which would have made a difference and whilst Pavey was winning most balls in the air there was nobody feeding off of him.
So we had to rely on another great goal to even things up but some poor passing and ball control didn't help matters but with improvements in the second half it did look as if there was only going to be one team going on to win.
But with some poor defending down the left it had us suddenly conceding two goals and game over.
Some results going our way yesterday from teams around us and with some midweek games and being with out one ourselves on Saturday it is there for the teams below to try and take advantage of their games in hand to creep up on us.
We shall see what happens with interest and keep our fingers crossed

Match highlights (longer than the League clips) from EBFC. This is from our club camera - on the opposite side of the ground, in case you're feeling disorientated - but it's a bit better weather-protected. Watching the highlights back, I'm honest enough to say that your boys could well have won that. Couple of first half chances, and some almighty scrambles in the second half. Hey ho. All the best.
