Well done boys, a great effort. Just hope it’s a springboard for Saturday where we will have to create and take our chances.

Incredible defensive display, backs undoubtably against the wall after the red card (didn't get enough of a look at it to see if it was a red but am I right in saying it was given a yellow at first and then the ref changed his mind??!!) anyway one of the best defensive displays I've seen from us and much improved from the centre backs after a poor game against Braintree.
MOTM could be either of the 4 Wills or maybe Russe today, probably Will King for me though. A little disappointing going forward with a few poor final passes but the tracking back from the attackers was brilliant throughout, especially Fasanmade who it's great to have back from injury. Delighted to get a draw today. Huge game Saturday- if we match our level today we should hopefully get a much needed 3 points.

A fantastic effort on and off the pitch. Apart from the penalty, I don't think the beating of the drum and chanting ever stopped throughout the entire second half. The players tired legs were brilliantly matched by the fans sore hands and croaky voices. A team performance in every sense.

Very proud of the lads today. A brilliant rear guard action against easily the best side in the division. 10 hero’s out there last night. A very poor refereeing performance where the ref let the the Ebsfleet players to get around him and dominate the decisions he was going to make. No body could believe the red card was given to Jones. Great support kept the lads going. For me the feeling was summed up by Matt and Gary punching air after the final whistle. Well done boys. Bring on the Cheshunt. Be nice to see a few more there Saturday. Come on you blues 🥹⚽️

Yep agree with all of the above, great defensive display by all of the team. Ref very one sided in giving yellows to Russe and King but their appeared to escape punishment.
Poor show from their manager who didn’t come over to shake hands after the final whistle.
Only disappointing thing was the crowd.
Great effort and prior to the red card we got into some good parts of the pitch which could have seen us 1-0 up. Referee was a disgrace, I’d go as far to say he was a cheat.
Nobody expected anything from that game so a point is brilliant. Different challenge Saturday but after dominating Dartford for long periods and not taking our chances, I’m confident we will have too much for Cheshunt.

Impossible to pick a MOM last night as every one in the team deserved it. Hardest won point and most deserved point of the season.No doubt l will be criticised for saying this but whilst we defended brilliantly in my opinion we didn’t help ourselves by having all 10 sat in our own half. Surely leaving one player up front would have meant Ebbsfleet leaving maybe 2 defenders back. Instead we allowed them to attack with all 10 outfield players. Also don’t think they helped themselves by trying to walk the ball into the net.
Right at the end when we had a free kick really summed up what we have seen all season. Get a free kick just outside their penalty area which gave us a rare opportunity to get players into their penalty area and what happens ball flys straight out for a goal kick. Too many free kicks and corners wasted this season.
Re the officials I can’t understand why the linesman on the stand side of the pitch was not putting his flag up for blatant fouls happening right in front of him. Maybe he was told by the referee that he was the only one to give fouls!

Ref was incredibly one-sided. As soon as the EU players surrounded the ref I knew that it would be a sending off. Pro team, pro shithousery.
Great save from Will Henry and a good, solid, defensive display.
Shout out to the fans behind the goal with the drum too, very good noise and didn't stop, need that more please and thank you. Well done.

Great performance by all accounts and a thoroughly deserved point despite the man in the middle. Followed the scores on Flashscore which is not great for stress levels 🙏😁

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again that the higher in the leagues you go, the standard of the officials ‘seems’ to get worse. Last nights game was a classic example of this. A thoroughly inept referee who was totally influenced by the opposition screaming and hollering at him at every single little contact. Did not get a clear view of the Eddie Jones incident, but I clearly saw a yellow card being brandished, and was surprised to see a red go up - chance of an appeal possibly ? Very much a ‘backs to the wall’ performance by us, and a thoroughly deserved point. Have to say I was not impressed by Ebbsfleet and their gamesmanship tactics.
