Moore: We should be running the legs off teams like Southport

-
Ronnie Moore reacts to the 1-1 draw at home v Southport. On Eastleigh's opponents, the boss said: "They train Tuesday and Thursdays, whereas we’re full-time. We’re in every day, we’re working and, by rights, we should be running the legs off teams like Southport.

“No disrespect to them, but we shouldn’t be allowing them to be in the game.

“But everything you think about and talk about we did wrong today.

“We were lucky we weren’t playing one of the top sides because we probably would have lost.

“We never got started today. We just thought we’ll turn up and we’re going to win the game.

“Really they’ve done nothing to us and we’ve come off level.

“To me it feels like a defeat.

“Alright, we’ve got a point, but if we’re going to get out of this league we’ve got to be beating Southport.

“We’d drilled it into them all week to start well and get on the front foot.

“You can blame the rain, but there was no wind today. There’s no excuse for them.

"There’s one or two in there that need to shift themselves sharpish.

“We’ve got a massive week coming up at Forest Green (Tuesday) and at Macclesfield (Saturday) and we can’t let our standards go.

Speaking about Southport's equaliser scored by James Gray, the Eastleigh boss said: "Someone's got to pick him up. We're trying to organise things and do things right, but I can't think for them. We should have stopped the cross in the first place, but we didn't."

Looking ahead to Tuesday's game away at Forest Green - Moore tweeted:
There are just under 30 spaces left on the third coach for fans travelling to the Forest Green Rovers game.


Eastleigh boss Moore: "No excuses - we should have run the legs off Southport"

AT the age of 63, Ronnie Moore doesn't rant and rave like he used to. But his Eastleigh players were left in no doubt that Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Southport simply wasn't good enough.

Eastleigh 3-1 Newport County

EASTLEIGH V NEWPORT COUNTY MONDAY 12th MARCH 2007 Conference South So far so good, as Eastleigh pressed on with their busy schedule with a second comprehensive win in as many days. Yet another classy performance from the Spitfires saw them come out firing on all cylinders finding themselves two goals to the good in the blink of an eye, and just like they did in the Farnborough match at the weekend, they comfortably saw the game out. The only change from the winning side, saw Liam Green replace the injured David Hughes in the centre of midfield. Newport were panicking from the start with the excellent Steve Watts and Jamie Brown letting their presence be felt up the front, giving their opponents no time on the ball. The constant chasing down and pressure from the two Eastleigh forwards almost led to catastrophe in the third minute for Newport, as Stewart Edwards played across his own goal with his keeper missing the ball before it was eventually hacked away. Scorer of Eastl
