Eastleigh slipped to 13th in the table after a second defeat in as many games. Chester ran out 3-1 winners. Mark Yeates the Spitfires' goalscorer. Reaction from Andy Hessenthaler: “We said before the game that the work ethic had been tremendous for the last nine or ten games but the problem is that we’ve kept conceding goals and it’s caught up with us now. “I wasn’t disappointed with the performance last week (a 2-0 home defeat by Boreham Wood) but after today everyone has got to look at themselves. “We can’t keep conceding goals the way we are. "It's up to myself and the coaching staff to get that right but, ultimately, it comes down to the players. They've let us down today." Chester 3-1 Eastleigh

It’s hard to stop their flow of play, but we dug in and defended really well. “They equalised, but we responded straight afterwards with an absolutely fantastic goal. It was a sublime finish by Ryan who had an exceptional afternoon on his first start. “It (Fylde's late equaliser) was a little bit frustrating when we were so close to getting all three points, but this was a good point and a valuable one against a decent side. “My target when I took over was two points a game. I’ve had eight games and we’re actually two points ahead of that target with 18. “We’ve now got to b
