My first time back this season so first view of the new faces - who all look pretty impressive. We looked totally in control in the first half and would have had 4 but for the woodwork. Then we gift them a goal straight from the kick off for the second half and then were under the cosh for perhaps 20 minutes. Once we scored the third we regained our composure but never had the control we had in the first half. MoM - strong contenders all over the pitch so I'll ponder it for a while.
So good to be back.

Certainly was a game of 2 halves . First half we totally dominated and could have gone into half time 4 or 5 up .
Second half our players heads were still in the dressing room when Eastbourne knicked the ball of us and scored a very poor goal from out point of view straight from the kick off . That seemed to rattle us and knocked of our stride . Eastbourne’s only tactic was to play hoof ball as they knew they could not beat us playing football. They went full on 1980’s Wimbledon !!!
I think the changes were superb by Steve and once Luke Allen came on we regained our composure and started to play our free flowing stuff . Danny Roberts then put in a fantastic cross and Ade headed past bast the keeper from the back post .

First half we were superb, we should have scored 5. Not sure what the team had in their bovril at half time but we looked a different side. Very lacklustre and didn't seem to be able to gain control of the game. If it was based on the first half then Luke got my man of the match vote but credit to Jake who scored two and worked his socks off until he was subbed. Thank god for the first half.

Like a couple of other posters, my first game back at PP for a couple of years. What a first half, totally outclassed them, and could have been 4 or 5. Silly mistake at the start of the second half gifted them a lifeline and suddenly their confidence grew. Darts slowly regained control and Ade's excellent header secured the points.

Class all over the pitch for the Darts, and a benchful of class too! Boy, this is one hell of a squad that Kingy has assembled, and I'm looking forward to the next match already

It was like watching Brazil in the 1st half,could have been 4-0 up. Unfortunately we gave them a joke goal within 20 seconds of the restart and for the next 20 minutes
we were not so fluent.
But a well taken goal from Azziz
Killed off a plucky Eastbourne.
A good win but we should of been out of sight at half time.

A very good game, first half we dominated the game and then we let them back in to it.
When we did let them back in they was up for it, what I didn’t like was their management team surrounding the ref at half time. But that’s their problem!
MOTM was difficult but I went for Jernade Meade, I thought he was outstanding again.

On to Bath which will be a difficult game after they got beat today.

Oh I forgot a nice touch from the club to remember everyone we have lost over the last year. I’m sure my dad Roger would have approved on what I saw today!
