A very entertaining game I thought. Without Pinnock we looked a little lightweight going forward in the first half and caused them very few problems. Eastbourne looked confident and played unlike a team with such a lowly league position and they deservedly went in at h/t with a 2-0 lead.

The second half was a different story, Tooting came out playing with more purpose and a more positive attitude. Eastbourne retreated into thier own half and defended thier lead. An Eastbourne sending off helped Tootings cause and our approach play began to look very good, the final ball or cross left a lot to be desired though, and clear cut chances were few.  We had loads of shots on goal but the goalkeeper hardly got his shorts dirty as they all seemed to be straight at him, on another day, one or two might have gone in and we,d still be in the competition.

We look a very young and inexperienced team, a few older heads would be of benefit to us but quality experience would cost money that we haven,t got, so we,ve got to make do.
So I left disappointed that we,d lost but not downhearted, I disagree it was the worst performance, we,ll play worse than that and win.
