Good result could have scored a few more. Thought Rocco made some good saves. And thought Leur did well today. Maybe trying to proof a point against his former teem? Two ex Worthing players Paxman and Kealy very quiet. And Kealy being taken off at half time.
Very hard to believe that Easybourne are a full time outfit. Not sure what they work on but clearly something isn’t working. Or is the AI recruitment to blame for this?
Looking forward to the away fixture. But based on performances of mate we could get beaten by the same amount on 1st Jan.

Highlights - YouTubeAll is not content on the other side... Unofficial EBFC Forum - Match ThreadOf relevance to the reverse fixture they mention the injuries. Of course the lad who was carried off is out, plus probably the guy injured in the warm up.

One of the worst sides I've seen at Woodside in several years, would struggle to finish in the top half of Isthmian South East. If that's what full time gives you then think very seriously before going down that road! As for Worthing, it won't be conceding silly goals that ultimately kills off our season, but a failure to convert chances. Our strikers are so wasteful!

Well that was far easier than I anticipated, despite having "wasteful strikers" that has left us top scorers in the league. In my opinion an all round excellent display with the oft maligned Rocco,Michael and Greg all having excellent games. Although we were the better side the "worldy" save from Rocco at 0-0 definitely paved the way for a very comfortable 3 points today. Apparently 10 years to the day since Adam first started to put his fingerprints on the club when we were still scratching around in the lower half of Isthmian South East. Our rise under his guidance should never be taken for granted, all though I sometimes suspect it is. Anyway, on to the reverse fixture with Eastbourne, and the nature of our topsy-turvy form suggests that anything could happen. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and happy new year to all of you Rebels (Mackerels).

As for Worthing, it won't be conceding silly goals that ultimately kills off our season, but a failure to convert chances. Our strikers are so wasteful! Not sure if being full time is the problem. Could it be more the case of not having the right players or having the right players but not playing them to their full potential? Jack Paxman was brilliant for us last season on loan. Today he looked a shadow of what we saw last season. Callum Kealy, did very well at his first spel. Went to Sutton, then Dorking and then back to us. The rest we know. But I believe sometimes a player is very well suited to how a club plays. And I feel the way Worthing play suits him very well. I, for one, am very intrigued how we will do when we go full time or a hybrid version of that to start with. To think what Adam has achieved with a part time team over the last few seasons. What can he do if the whole squad was full time? Yes off course I am aware of the financial implications. But if we want to progress through the league I strongly believe full time is the way to go

Their no 20 impressed me at RB or RWB, but other than that, to a man they were poor.

Succinctly put old boy 👍 Hopefully we won’t go ‘full time’ on 9th June when everyone else has effectively sorted their recruitment out 🤷♂️ EB were a lovely family club, and testament to the time honoured phrase all that glisters is not gold. Nothing personal against Mark Beard but everyone indirectly connected to the current s*** show I talk to say he’s way out of his depth, I actually don’t want them to go down because a healthy Sussex non league scene is good for everyone, to reiterate apparently the new owner is more like David Brent than Ricky Gervais, so it will be down to the Chief Executive, Alan Williams, to stop the slide. Let’s get the three points on Monday first 😂, but they need to sack Beard after that and bring in Mark McGhee and Charlie Oatway to keep them up, then have a rethink in May.

Strange game for me . Didn't really get out of 3rd gear but that was enough to create nemourus chances that we again managed to fluff . Thought Felix was awesome and Ricky and Greg had very good games . Once again our makeshift defence looked comfortable ( not sure how long this will last ) As for them , the lad at left back (managers son? ) and the lad at right wing back looked good the rest were poor like very poor . Such a shame that a solid community club has been ripped apart by a know nothing money man . New years game begs just one question , What Worthing Team Will Turn Up ? 😷

I thought they were as poor as Havant when they visited earlier in the season, no bite up top and considering we know the strengths of Paxman and Kealy and I wouldn't have known either were on the park, their Midfield was non existent and as has been mentioned by others, we didn't really have to perform to our best to beat them! Let's hope this Worthing turns up on NYD rather than the Hemel away Worthing!!

I thought it was quite an even contest for the first 30 minutes. Their keeper made a decent save from Ricky and Rocco made 2 smart saves. Once we scored though there was only 1 team in it. Comfortable 3 points, clean sheet and a few of the squad getting full games is good and hopefully the start of an unbeaten run.

If it's a repeat performance of the FA Cup tie when we played last played EB at Priory , I don't care as long as we win but I would rather have a repeat peformance of Boxing Day.
I did hear on BBC Sussex this morning that they were talking to EB manager during the sports bulletin ahead of Monday's game.

Have we got radio today?? Wasn't listed on the 'upcoming events' section of the Mixlr page so it doesn't look like it. Is available to stream on National League TV though, it not being a Saturday 'n'all 👍🏻
