Bromley v Eastleigh - Match Preview
Match Preview by Kieran James
Ian Baird’s Spitfires finally lost at home in the league last Saturday against Hampshire rivals Farnborough when they fell to a 0-1 defeat at the Silverlake Stadium.
Eastleigh played five at the back giving Michael Green a return at left back however winger Damian Scannell was left out of the starting line up owing to illness and new signing Lee Phillips replaced striker Jamie Slabber.
With both teams in very good form, it took 57 minutes for the Yellows to break the deadlock. Right back Mitchell Nelson made a challenge on striker Michael Charles and referee Barry Holderness awarded a penalty.
Striker Phillip Page converted the penalty putting the visitors in front. Substitutes Damian Scannell and Jamie Slabber replaced Michael Green and Lee Phillips but Farnborough’s defence was too good as the Spitfires were defeated at home in the league for the first time in twelve games.
Eastleigh take on relegation threatened Bromley away at The Courage Stadium on Saturday in The Blue Square Bet South.
Bromley’s last game was at home to fellow struggler’s Staines Town on Tuesday. The match was postponed until 8.40pm due to the Staines players and fans being held up by an accident on the M25.
Michael Malcolm put The Lillywhites in front before Ali Chaaban equalised for The Swans in the dying minutes following a sending off for Moses Swaibu.
The last time these two teams met was earlier in the season when The Spitfires were defeated at The Silverlake Satdium.
The first half saw no goals and it took 51 minutes before the deadlock was broken. Bromley won a penalty after a shirt pull and striker Hakeem Araba scored from the spot, sending the visitors in front.
After sloppy play at the back, Eastleigh soon went two behind when Danny Waldren took advantage of a poor defensive clearance and the midfielder tucked away The Lillywhites' second goal after a poor day for The Spitfires.
The last time these two teams played at The Courage Stadium, The Spitfires ended the 2010/11 season with some class.
Peter Adeniyi scored a 35-yard screamer on 40 minutes followed by a 40-yard lob from Anthony Riviere in the 43rd minute much to delight of the travelling Eastleigh fans.
