Leave it all feeling a bit 'meh' always been a bit of a traditionalist and frowned at the Americans when they manufacture results but too many draws mean any momentum/excitement is draining away fast. Glad I'm not an Ebbsfleet fan....

To look at it another way, we've only lost one game. I think that if we'd been offered 11 pts from our first 8 games before the season, we'd have happily taken it. Blimey, if we had won just one of those games we've drawn, we'd be 6th tonight. Early days still & just compare this team & the way we're playing compared to how it was before Hilly took over. Yes, we'd all love to watch expansive, exciting football, winning each game by 3 or 4 goals, but that's not the real world. And we have a lot of players out injured. Come on, get real & get behind the team!
BTW, Ebbsfleet also have a lot of players out injured plus one on international duty and are unbeaten this year. They're a good team and club & again, most of us would have taken a draw before the game.

Agree that they are not bad results at all and I'm not expecting large wins, especially given the set of games we have had.
Just think that draws don't give you the buzz and so many of them just make me think 'meh' going to work/pub etc and discussing the latest draw just doesn't do it.
Ignoring the points factor i would prefer a couple of wins and a couple of defeats to 4 draws
Hopefully the run of fixtures coming up will see an end to draws ๐

Good results from a tough set of games. On paper we have some easier games now so maybe will get some draws turning into wins

Probably doesn't mean a great deal, but of the 8 teams we've played, 5 are above us in the league atm, & 3 below. I think we're pretty well placed and doing OK, even if the style of football being played is not quite as spectacular as we'd like to see.

For me we've got a decent base to build on, guess RH is bang on when he mentioned yesterday just what a state we were in not so long ago. Our defence looks solid, the players should get more familiar each week and I reckon a few will step up and impress!

I always think a draw is half as good as a win! So for me with 2 wins and 1 deafet that is better than 4 wins an 4 defeats. I realised the table doesn't work that way. Give us a couple of wins now and will be v happy

Id sooner lose 5-4 than draw 0-0. Boring football only works if you're promoted due to it. Forgive me if im wrong, but don't you have to have a few shots to win promotion?

I go to games now not thinking we will lose. It wasn't like that last season.yes more wins would be ideal but a win Tuesday night and that's for me is a solid start.

Well again all the doom and gloom Lads hit the forum with only negative comments towards team and management. Negatives for me,disappointed for those travelling it's a bloody long trip and you would expect more. As I remember we have only beaten them twice I think 2016 at theirs 1-4 with a settled Eastleigh side and 2-1 At home rest draws. Positive, a draw against a team with new manager and a set of players now looking to save their jobs. Negative, supporter re-action I respect again the travel to see a 0-0 is frustrating but at least you were not travelling back thinking about a loss been there many a time. Negative,The I am not buying another season ticket brigade, are you in search of football heaven because you certainly won't find it in proper day in day out football. Positive, I have seen some bloody awful football from Eastleigh but guess wot I will still buy my season ticket as I AM PROUD TO BE A EASTLEIGH SUPPORTER.

I think after the joy of the Tranmere result and the heartbreak of the LO equaliser there is bound to be a bit of discontent after 3 pretty average performances. doesn't mean we don't love and support the team Bacon (Willk is a wum so wouldn't take his comment to heart) Lets hope for a bounce on Tuesday its a long old season

Having watched all the games at home so far, I've seen two decent games, one not so good, one terrible. I'll leave it to you to work out which ;-) That's still a vast improvement on last season. Second half Tranmere was the best I've seen in ages.
There have been no easy games away yet, and there probably aren't any in this league any more (hence the number of draws in the whole league). Guiseley had a new manager, as has been pointed out, so played above themselves. He did well with Barrow and I expect them to climb up the table soon. Having said that, entertainment away seems to be at a premium but I think that RH is geared up for results rather then entertainment, so it's hardly surprising.
Two winnable games this week, six points will put us in a better position - but both tricky games, so it may be interesting.

I like to be entertained when watching football but it is not always possible. This season the draws quota is crazy....another 5 yesterday from 12 played. Every team has dropped at least 10 points already so looking extremely tight, the top 7 places will go haywire in the final 12 games at this rate. We need youth, we need pace, but 5 points off the top is better than we hoped for after 9 games if we're all honest.....it's work in progress so let's see where we are on New Years Day.....and for the wise guys I don't mean Torquay๐๐
