There's a lot of character in the team now." "For me getting the goal is good for me personally. I've been looking to get clean sheets as well. It's been good."

Richard Hill shares his post-match thoughts after Eastleigh's 1-1 draw at the Silverlake Stadium with Gateshead. “We need to be better with the ball, but we look more organised than we did six weeks ago. “We looked a bit leggy in the last ten to 15 minutes, the formation we play is asking a lot of the three midfielders. “But it was a good response to going behind.
