2-2. Looking forward to this. Have you got tonight's lottery numbers too bomber? Why didn't you bet 2-1 you Wally?

Well done lads, a good point at a free scoring team. Must have been a great game. I’d rather be an Eastleigh fan at the moment than in the dreary goalless depressing hoof ball days of Richard Hill. All credit to AH.

And its games and away days like that which will get more fans to go to them. Not dreary 0-0s like some ‘people’ want.

Unbeaten in the last 8 games, with 2.25 points a game, the best record in that period in the National League. No disgrace in a draw at Fylde who have the second-best home record (only Tranmere are better).
11th in the league, 14 points above the relegation spots and 6 behind the play-offs is so far better than I thought we were capable of before Christmas. A solid top ten finish is well within reach.

Yes, a very creditable draw against the league's top scorers. Well done to the team, Management and the supporters who travelled up. It's quite amazing how AH has turned our fortunes around and we have lots to look forward to for the rest of the season. Even if we don't make the play-offs, it will have been a successful second half of the season compared to the first. Good times are back at the Silverlake.

Without our star man, against a very powerful team, this is a great point. 9 unbeaten in the league and as long as this run continues, anything is possible. Well done to everybody concerned.

I did think that the home game against AFC Fylde which also finished 2-2 was an entertaining game and they had a good bunch of fans.
Interestingly enough in eight of the 24 league games under RH both teams scored at least two goals, but only one of these resulted in a victory.
I think it is natural for people to want their teams to show evidence that they are capable of rectifying their greatest weaknesses, whether this is lack of scoring goals, lack of pace, conceding stupid goals or being overrun in midfield and that is one reason why some people would like us to keep a clean sheet for a change.

I think we have conceded the 3rd most goals in the entire league, so its obviously something which needs addressing. I'm delighted that everyone had a great time; I doubt too many of the travelling fans would pick out either Fylde goal as a highlight. In fact I will be so bold as to suggest that had we won 2-0, they would have enjoyed the day even more.

Decent point, although would have been great if we had managed to hold onto the 3 points.
Looking at the highlights seems like it was all fylde after we went 2-1 up

Good result against a decent side, though two pretty soft goals. Ball-watching at the back stick on the second, and Stack shouldn’t be getting beat at his near post for the first. That said, he made up for it with that save at the death when he had to brave the post to claw it away - was it Boyce who blocked it on the line in the melee just before?
Broom was excellent in the middle and took his goals well, and Cresswell and Boyce were solid all afternoon. The only disappointment was that one of them didn’t smash the Fylde number nine, who was a **** house throughout the second half once it became clear the referee wasn’t keen to get involved - I’m pretty sure he tried to slip Ayo a finger at the start of the second half, which was all a bit weird and definitely worthy of a discouraging slap.
Nice touch from the Fylde fans at the end to acknowledge the sterling effort from those who had travelled, though I did feel a bit of a fraud having just nipped up the motorway from Bolton!
Keep it going, eh? The play offs are definitely within reach.

Can't blame Stack for their goals and it was Cav Miley with the goal line clearance. Hoyte's tackle to deny them a goal was class. Their number nine is Danny Rowe who is the leagues top goalscorer with 16 goals and we restricted his influence well. We did let in two sloppy goals but a draw was a fair result and one i would have accepted before the game. It's games like these that make away days great and definitely the best fans home and away. What other fans would meet you off the coach and escort you to the ticket office,sports bar and give complimentary club merchandise as well as stand with you singing together.

Yes a really good day out. From the second we arrived till the second we we left we were treated as guests. All credit must go to Fylde management, staff and supporters for what they have achieved. This was the 57th Club I have visited and I can honestly say in all those clubs I have never felt as safe or wanted like at Fylde. Really look forward to going again. I have only one complaint---UHT milk!!! Well done Fylde

Can't blame Stack for their goals and it was Cav Miley with the goal line clearance. Just watched the highlights and yes, I was a bit harsh on Stacky - the lad who got their first didn’t look as central as he was from where I was stood. Definitely Boyce with the block, though.
