I got some grief for commenting on how quiet this place was after our win at Truro, with people stating it was because it was an away game nobody turned up so couldn’t comment.  Well it’s nearly 7pm after a home win and I guess everyone is at firework parties?

Really good performance in the later part of the first half and second half. Should have been 5/6in the end. We will be a really good team once people accept we are young, learning and will sometimes take a while to get going. I couldn’t stay where I was in the end because of the constant moaning.

Special mention to Dan, losing a CB so early can be nerve wracking but he was brilliant for large parts of that game. We are in a very fortunate and unique position and a win helps some promising performances (last week aside).

Look forward to Tuesday night

Don't think anyone could have forecasted that result after 25 minutes! Same old more back passing than going forward then it seemed a more positive approach took over and at the same time seemed more confident. Thought Dan Ellison was excellent when he came on and deserves to be in the starting 11 on Tuesday. Nice to see Tom Mehew back and saw some nice touches in the few minutes he was on.
Regardless of the result l still think we muck around too much at the back and without doubt will get caught out again. Even in the Prem League you see mistakes made at the back week after week. I really can't get my head around why Henry keeps throwing the ball out to a team mate who is facing him. What can that player do other than pass back or if lucky sideways.

Got good value for the 15 quid today. Credit to the players - a lot of determination displayed this afternoon especially when one down. Heads did not go down -  a well earned three points. Some positive vibes about Tuesday night when walking down Bristol Road afterwards.

A very positive change in the chemistry between players compared to what we have seen earlier this season. Seemed to, after a poor first 20/30mins, get the right balance in our game without too much nonsense at the back but also not just lumping it and as a result we were treated to some very good football.

Tyreke definitely man of the match- has been a little slow to get going this season but had his full back on strings today- even more impressive though was his work rate getting back so Freddie Grant could tuck in to defence. Every player deserves a whole lot of credit today though. Haines and Ellison put there bodies on the line time and time again, Eddie Jones and Freddie Grant very dependable, Luke Spokes was brilliant, Nicholls solid, Caine with 2 great goals, Ed Williams was everywhere and McClure's hold up play was quality as ever. To cap it off both Fas and Mehew had a great impact off the bench when we needed them. Having 3 academy players out there for the majority of the game also cannot be understated and it's very impressive the quality of our youth setup nowadays.

Eastbourne were very ordinary, but then so were Dartford. Not going to get too far ahead of myself- we are still in 15th and have been absolute dross at times- but undoubtably a very encouraging display.
