Reflecting on the game, Allen commented: “With the team being so young, it got difficult for them to physically compete as the game progressed, but there are certainly ones to work with in the future. “It’s a bit of a fine balancing act at the moment with some of the younger players having to be fast-forwarded because of injuries and players being cup-tied. “B

Picture by Tony Smith -  http://smu.gs/2fYvqrA New Eastleigh boss Martin Allen is on the lookout to bolster his midfield options following Andy Drury's departure to Ebbsfleet and an injury to Jason Taylor. Speaking about some of the reasons for Drury leaving the club, Allen said: “He (Andy Drury) was honest and said he didn’t want to play down here anymore. “I let the chairman know and thought it was best all-round to let him leave. “We need everyone fully committed and I respect his decision and his choice. “He’s a good player, any club would miss him at this level. “But credit to the chairman, he let him go for nothing." Midfielder Jason Taylor is sidelined with an injury and Allen is hoping to boost the numbers in midfield where he feels the squad is a little short. “Jason had an injection on Thursday to be able to play in this game but was injured after 20 minutes and couldn’t run. “He took one on the bottom of his foot but his hip

They may not be in League Two or League One, but they have a sense of spirit that follows them. “The chairman, Stewart Donald, is a great person and does a huge amount for the club.” Lloyd enjoys the experience and atmosphere when following Eastleigh games. “I think the atmosphere for fans is amazing. “Eastleigh have made a lot of progress over the last five years on and off the pitch.” Following Ronnie Moore’s recent and somewhat unexpected departure from the Silverlake Stadium, Lloyd offers his views on Ronnie’s time at the club and wishes him well for the future. “I think the club is far from being the best but when Ronnie Moore was in charge, I used to love watching our home games because I knew that it would be special. “But when you look at away records, it's never the best for any manager because of different grounds to what they are used to.” Stewart Donald acted

Quotes from Martin Allen's first interview as Eastleigh manager: “It’s a tough division to get out of, only two do, but to be champions is achievable this season. "You have to be pretty special to be a champion but we’re only halfway through. “The crunch time will come towards Easter. That’s when it’s really going to matter and when we find out what we’ve got. “We’ll see if the teams at the top now can handle the pressure of being at the top because it’s hard being at the top. "My Barnet team dealt with it because we were top of the league from the first game till the last game. “We’ve got to come from behind but we will put a run together and these players will challenge, there’s no doubt about that." Speaking about how he became the Eastleigh boss and looking forward to the FA Cup on Sunday, Allen said: “It was totally out of the blue, I was all set for a quiet weekend with plans to see the family, walk the dogs and tidy up the garden
