Reaction to the 2-1 defeat at Maidstone, quotes from Eastleigh boss Ronnie Moore: “One or two think they’re better than they are and that’s got to change. “Everyone wants to beat us but we need to have the best team not just the best individual players. “We seem to think it’s going to be easy against the so-called lesser teams. “Too many think they can just turn up - they have to look in the mirror. “That was disappointing again - the goals we give away - the first one was unbelievable. “We get back in it and then give away a stupid pen. You can’t legislate for that. You do all the work with your back four in training and then we go and do that. “How we missed that chance at the end when Beano (Constable) put the ball past the post...you have to take your chances when they come but it’s not going for us in front of goal. “It’s back to the drawing board. We’ve got a lot to work on to get a play-off spot. “Our better players are having a wobble, which hap...

Quotes from Eastleigh boss Ronnie Moore following the 3-0 defeat at home to Chester. “We’ve shot ourselves in the foot. “For me that team (Chester) is there to be beaten. You’re not telling me they’re 3-0 better than we are, but we’ve killed ourselves today. “When you go 1-0 down you can’t go gung-ho, you’ve got to keep your shape. But we’ve had the two full-backs bombing on and the centre-backs going two for two and any counter-attack is going to cause you problems. “The first goal should never happen. Parts and Couls (were there), one of them goes to sleep and the lad goes clean through. But we’ve had loads of opportunities like that to get the ball in the box and we’ve hit the first man how many times? “We’ve got strikers trying to walk the ball in instead of taking a snap-shot when it’s there. We’ve got to be more ruthless. “We’ve had 20-odd crosses into Chester’s box and never really tested their keeper. “They’d not been anywhere near our goal until ...
