Old guard get the good times rolling again at Eastleigh Eastleigh 1 Aldershot Town 1. DRAWING 1-1 against ten-man Aldershot Town may not look particularly outstanding on paper - but tonight's scoreline at the Silverlake Stadium tells only half the story.

Billericay swoop for Eastleigh winger BILLERICAY Town have today confirmed the signing of Mekhi Leacock-McLeod from Eastleigh. The pacy winger lasted little more than five weeks at the Silverlake having been signed from VCD Athletic in mid-January by Martin Allen, who was sacked as Spitfires boss last Wednesday.

Hill resolves to bring "normality" back at Eastleigh RICHARD Hill had to choose his words carefully when discussing the monumental repair job he has taken on at Eastleigh. Having returned to the Spitfires as director of football/caretaker manager last week, he saw the full extent of what he had inherited in yesterday's eye-opening 3-0 defeat at Dover Athletic.

Richard Hill's post-match thoughts following Eastleigh's 3-0 defeat away at Dover: "Very frustrated. We huffed and puffed for long spells of the game. The players are very low on confidence." "The first goal after three minutes – the ball has come in the box and you can see everybody panicking. Why? It’s a game of football, the ball is going to come in the box. You have to deal with it." "We had a little bit of possession and we passed the ball ok at times and we went from side to side ok and then the final ball in the box is very, very predictable. We’re very predictable in the play after that and we actually do look like a team of individuals." "I’ve got a group of players here that I’ve inherited and for me to say anything publicly after one game would be wrong. I’ve got to keep my thoughts to myself but we do need to do a lot better and we do need to work harder." "I do think some of the players need to realise that this is their...

Eastleigh lost by three goals to nil away at Dover as Ricky Miller netted a hat-trick for the hosts in Richard Hill's first game back at the club as caretaker boss/director of football.

Of all the ‘crimes’ Martin Allen committed in the eyes of Eastleigh fans, letting go of left-back Michael Green was one of the biggest. But a fortnight, as they say, is a long time in football. On February 9, Green had been ushered towards the Silverlake exit door, told he would not feature in Allen’s plans for National League domination next season. Two weeks later Allen is history and Green has been welcomed back with open arms to the place he calls “home”, ready for Saturday's tough test at fifth-placed Dover Athletic.

Managerial update from Eastleigh FC:- At the start of this season Eastleigh FC had high hopes of challenging for promotion. Clearly there has been far too much change for this to be achieved and the managerial changes have not had the desired affect. This is solely the fault of the Chairman who would like to apologise to all our loyal fans who deserve much better. Mistakes have been made, albeit with the best of intentions, however it has been a costly and unsettling period, which has seen the club unfortunately struggle rather than build on previous progress. With this in mind it is important the decision made regarding a replacement manager is considered and thorough. The club need more football expertise to ensure we give ourselves the best chance of future success and progression. Therefore the club have appointed, previous manager Richard Hill with immediate effect to assist and give the club much-needed guidance. Richard will join as Director of football. In the short ter...

Eastleigh have turned to former manager Richard Hill to dig them out of a hole - and welcomed fans' favourite Michael Green back to the club. Hill, who led the Spitfires to the greatest triumph in their history, lifting the 2013/14 Conference South title, has been appointed director of football and placed in short-term charge of the team following the sacking of Martin Allen. He will be assisted by senior players Craig McAllister and Ben Strevens, plus head of youth Lee Peacock. Left-back Green, released by Allen a fortnight ago, is back by popular demand and will go straight into the squad for Saturday's trip to Dover Athletic.

Eastleigh chief executive Mark Jewell says the Spitfires were left with no alternative but to sack Martin Allen – even at the risk of the club being branded a “circus.” Allen – the National League outfit's third manager of the season – had his contract terminated with immediate effect today after 14 league and cup games in charge. See the full article below: Eastleigh chief exec: "We had no choice but to sack Martin Allen" EASTLEIGH chief executive Mark Jewell says the Spitfires were left with no alternative but to sack Martin Allen - even at the risk of the club being branded a "circus." Allen - the National League outfit's third manager of the season - had his contract terminated with immediate effect today after 14 league and cup games in charge.

Martin Allen has been relieved of his duties and leaves the Spitfires after just 14 games in charge at Eastleigh. A club statement read as follows: "Eastleigh Football Club can today confirm that following the club’s home reverse to Macclesfield Town on Tuesday evening, a resultant meeting with First Team Manager Martin Allen has this morning seen his contract terminated with immediate effect." "The club would like to take this opportunity to thank Martin for his efforts during his time with the club and wish him well for the future."

More Silverlake woe for slip-sliding Eastleigh EASTLEIGH 0 MACCLESFIELD TOWN 1. THREE home games in eight days and not one National League point banked. Eastleigh 's Silverlake Stadium misery continued tonight as they paid the price for an appalling start in a 1-0 home defeat by Macclesfield Town.

Storify: Eastleigh 0-1 Macclesfield https://t.co/IywPSQYklo #Spitfires — Jamie Montigue (@jamiemontigue) February 21, 2017 Eastleigh: Ryan Clarke, Hakeem Odoffin, Chinua Cole, Sam Togwell (Ben Close, 65), Ayo Obileye, Adam Dugdale, Tyler Garratt, Ben Strevens, James Constable (Scott Wilson, 46), Craig McAllister (Mekhi Leacock-McLeod, 55), Ross Stearn.

Allen confident that short-term pain will bring long-term gain for Eastleigh EASTLEIGH boss Martin Allen has a proven track record of turning short-term pain into long-term gain with his previous clubs Gillingham and Barnet. So while fans may be feeling twitchy as the Spitfires head into tomorrow's FREE-ENTRY game against Macclesfield Town (Tuesday, 7.45pm) still looking for their first victory of 2017, the manager himself takes confidence in knowing that history is on his side.

Craig McAllister's post-match thoughts after Eastleigh's 2-0 loss at home against Tranmere: "I’m happy to be back but disappointed with the result in the end." "We had a game plan which we kept to quite well in the first half. There wasn’t a lot of quality but we worked on staying in the game as long as we could. We knew it was going to be difficult because the pitch would get cut up and it wasn’t going to be pretty."

Martin Allen looks to the positives as Eastleigh are beaten 2-0 at home by Tranmere: "It was always going to be a tough game for us. I thought we played much better today. Today was a much better performance from the team."

Subs (not used): Ryan Clarke, Ben Close. Attendance: 2,475 Eastleigh much improved - but still the home hurt continues EASTLEIGH 0 TRANMERE ROVERS 2. EASTLEIGH produced a performance brimming with energy, workrate and desire at home to National League promotion chasers Tranmere Rovers this afternoon. But unfortunately for the Spitfires, a vastly improved showing was still not good enough to break their home hoodoo as two second-half goals extended their win-less run at the Silverlake Stadium to nine games, stretching back to October 25.

Craig McAllister on his Eastleigh return: "I’m very happy to be back. It came out of the blue a little bit to be honest." "I’ve been speaking to a few clubs the last week or two and then a call came between myself and the owner and it was too good an opportunity to say no to." "It’s nice to back in amongst where I always wanted to be really as it all started for me here." "Hopefully I can come in and help this side climb up the table, where it should be and only time will tell with that." "A lot of players have come and gone. Managers have come and gone. Not a lot more has changed, there’s still members of staff that are here that I remember from my time here." "The nucleus of it has stayed the same but a lot of changes have happened – the playing squad, the managers, and now we’re trying to get some stability and hopefully that will happen now." "It’s good to be straight in and involved, whether I pl...

Quotes from Eastleigh boss Martin Allen as he reflects on the defeat at home to Braintree and looks ahead to taking on Tranmere: Reflecting on Tuesday night’s 2-0 defeat at home v Braintree: “We’ve had a long chat this morning to see the players and [have] a few individual chats.” “Obviously it was a big disappointment, especially after playing so well at the weekend away at Guiseley. It was such a good performance up there where we came so close to getting three points.” “It’s still not quite clicking yet but having watched the video we saw some of the chances we had. Strevs (Ben Strevens) is through with the goalkeeper to beat, then Tyler (Tyler Garratt) was through one v one. [There was also] Strevs’ header at the far post from three yards that went just wide, so we still had chances even though I don’t think we played that well.” Work to do: “There’s still a lot of work to do here at the moment. It’s very frustrating for the supporters, it’s frustrating for myself and we ha...

Eastleigh targetman's injury is a pain in the neck THE mystery of Darius Henderson's absence from the Eastleigh side has been cleared up. The 6ft 4in targetman, signed on a free transfer from Mansfield Town last month, has sat out the last two games with painful neck spasms. The Spitfires were crying out for Henderson's height and physicality on Tuesday as their dire run of home results continued with a 2-0 defeat to Braintree Town.

Two-goal Cheek is Valentine's passion killer for Eastleigh MARTIN Allen was hoping fans would feel the love for his new-look Eastleigh side on Valentine's Night, but two 'Cheeky' goals turned out to be a real passion-killer. Brace man Michael Cheek sent lowly Braintree Town home 2-0 victors, leaving a 1,702 crowd desperately disappointed and the Spitfires still seeking their first home win since way back in late October.

Eastleigh boss Allen: "We owe the paying public a performance" MARTIN Allen is confident Eastleigh can rectify their "very poor" home form over the next eight days. It's a shocking statistic for a club that started the season with National League title aspirations that they haven't managed a win on Silverlake soil since beating Torquay United 3-0 on October 25.

Sam Togwell shares his thoughts after Eastleigh's 1-1 draw away at Guiseley: "I think you can’t deny that the performance was ten times better than our last outing. We got on the ball more, we ran more, we were more dynamic. It was a pleasure to play in. "It’s a shame that with 20 seconds to go we couldn’t see the game out. "The new players have done well. They’ve had a hard two weeks training with us, it’s been a hard graft. It’s been tough but they’ve come in and they’ve worked their socks off and they haven’t complained. "You can see today they tried their best. Some of them haven’t played for a little bit so the longer they are here with us and playing the way the gaffer plays, the better it’s going to be. "We’re going to prepare well [for the next game] and do what we did today – go out and play football and try to dominate possession, get on the ball. We should have scored a few more goals we had good chances. I’m sure the fans can’t deny th...

Martin Allen shares his thoughts on Eastleigh's 1-1 draw away at Guiseley: "I thought we played very well first half, we weathered what we knew was going to be a high pressure first twenty minutes. "The new players come in and did very, very well. We got the ball down and played, and we were much better to watch. We had much more energy, which is what I was after. "It was very, very disappointing to lose that goal at the end. They had one chance in the second half I think, and maybe two in the first half.  "We had two chances just after half time, great efforts on goal especially the one by Willo (Scott Wilson) [which would have] put us out of reach at 2-0.  "They piled everybody forward, we put on another centre half to help us defend those long balls and free kicks and corners but a knock down fell and they’ve smashed it in.  "It’s a big set back, a big disappointment. This isn’t an easy place to come and play here. I thought the p...

Reda Johnson is on his way back from injury and should be back out on the pitch again very soon. The commanding centre-half said: “I’m feeling a lot better so I’m happy. I’ve worked hard to come back from my injury with Cooky (physio Andy Cook) so I have to thank him for that and I’m very pleased.” Reda says that Eastleigh can expect a tough game at the weekend when the Spitfires take on Guiseley and he is looking forward to seeing what the new young lads can bring to the team. “It should be a hard game. We’ve got a lot of new players so we’re trying to bring something new and hopefully we’ll do well because we’ve got the players, we’ve got very young, talented players here and hopefully everything will go very well.” Johnson has recently taken on a new role as an ambassador to the Pan Disabiliity team here at Eastleigh and he can’t wait to get started. “I’m really looking to meeting them because it’s something I really like.

"I want to thank Stewart Donald for all his support and everyone that runs the club on a daily basis. "But most importantly, thank you to the fans. Your support has been phenomenal over the years.

Eastleigh set to let young players bloom after some heavy-duty winter pruning EASTLEIGH are ready to field their youngest side of the season at Guiseley on Saturday after some heavy-duty winter pruning by manager Martin Allen. Allen, a keen gardener, has some budding young talent at his disposal for the National League trip to Nethermoor and will breathe some "fresh air" into his 14th-placed team after a dismal home defeat to Woking a fortnight ago.

Midfielder Sam Matthews, 19, has been talking about his first week since joining Eastleigh on loan from Bournemouth. "It’s been really good. It’s been nice for me to come in and meet all the lads and it’s given me a little bit of time to settle in and get into training before our game at the weekend. "I’ve really enjoyed it," Matthews added.
