FWP says kick off delayed??

[Keithsson]

Injured official.

Thankfully there was a qualified official in the crowd.

Kick off delayed only slightly.

None that I can find, evidently there is a TV stream which you have to pay for via NLTV.

1-0 to us, Ollie pen

HT - EBFC 0-1 WFC 

Worthy of the lead, created more than they have with more, and better, possession.

It's not been without threat though, they had one glorious chance they spooned over. But largely they've struggled to contain the wind, over hitting several high forward passes. If we take anything from that it's to keep it on the deck second half.

Job half done but we need more. Ollie on a booking, i'd expect Robbo to replace him at some point.

Come on you Rebels 👊🏻

Sorry we should be burying teams as bad as this, don’t be surprised if they pinch something as we are so lethargic. No intensity again.

[Keithsson]

0-2 - Nicky Wheeler tap in after an Ollie shot wasn't cleared.

It's only one opinion but I'm not feeling a lack of intensity myself. It's just not as 'gung ho' commiting bodies forward as Boxing Day, but that's fair as we're the away side this time.

[Keithsson]

0-3 - Ricky belter from the edge of the box after great work by Kane down the left cut it back to him from the by-line.

Job jobbed now 👏🏻

That'll do. Great display.

Certainly not that,,,but adequate second half display with a vintage fourth which we know there capable of. But I really fear for Eastbourne who look dire.

Danny Bloor was standing next to is in the stand. I wonder if there is something a foot?

[Keithsson]

Comfortable as stated.

Lovely team goal the 4th one, Hinsh would've loved that, played out from their corner kick.

Up to 3rd - Link

We'll struggle to face a poorer opponent all season but the first back to back win for nearly three months hopefully starts a run of long overdue consistency.

Needs to be too, up next at Woodside is the best away side in the league.

They were absolutely abject, Beard surely going after those 2 displays?? I think we measured that game really well, got that half time lead with as clear a penalty as you will see all season. I thought Klass was really food in the middle today and surprised to see him taken off. The second half we really put them to the sword and cut them apart, in really tricky conditions aswell I must add! Also did anyone else think Greg Luer was better when he moved into the middle of the park? Have we got a Joelinton situation on our hands potentiall!?

I think what was interesting for me was I actually found myself in a way watching Eastbourne more than ourselves, purely on trying to work out what there game plan was? What did they actually want to achieve from that game, because at half time it felt like they had settled for a 1-0 defeat! Kealey might aswell have been a statue, did they have any wingers on the pitch? 0 game plan and they look like they have accepted their fate, worse than Havant if you ask me!
