Eastleigh have attacking options in FA Cup

By Wendy Gee -

Eastleigh find themselves short in the central defensive department for tomorrow’s historic FA Cup first round match at Barrow now that Aaron Martin has completed his dream move to Saints and his replacement Aaron Cook is cup-tied.

But the Spitfires have a wealth of attacking options open to them at Barrow with Saints having agreed to extend frontman Jamie White’s loan into a second month.

White made his Eastleigh debut in the 2-0 third qualifying round win over Basingstoke and has since made one other start and three other substitutes’ appearances for the Blue Sqaure South outfit as he continues along the road to recovery from a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle.

It has so far amounted to just 176 minutes of playing time in a month, but Eastleigh boss Ian Baird is impressed by the 19-year-old’s attitude.

“Jamie’s got better and better in the time he’s been with us. He’s looking sharper by the minute,” he said.
