Terrors 3-4 Eastbourne Town
Five weeks ago, bottom of the table Town dumped Tooting out of the FA Trophy, having played much of the game with 10 men. This time the details differ, but the headlines remain the same.
The fact that poor refereeing allowed the thuggish visitors to escape unpunished for their uncompromising but effective close marking and that the scorer of the winning goal should not have been on the park, having taken a hefty swing at Josh Turner, hide the real reason for defeat - failure to deal with the direct threat of two seasoned forwards, who ripped the Terrors defence to shreds whenever they got the chance I get the feeling that whoever wrote the above report for Tooting is not a happy bunny. To come home with three points after being down to ten men is excellent news and with these players we must surely start to climb out of the danger zone. It is also good news to see that John Lansdale has returned to the Town from Worthing. His long throw, deadly free kicks and wholehearted play will be a great boost to the club.

Thanks for that, oap.
Great result and, hopefully, the start of a good run of results.
Interested in the comment about Town being 'thuggish'. I have often thought in the last couple of years that Town have been outmuscled by stronger opponents, so I would be happy to see them adopt a more robust approach.
Also pleased to see John Lansdale's return, one of Town's strongest players last season.
