Jay: Three bad goals to let in

-

Manager Jay Saunders felt Maidstone gifted Eastleigh victory. Mistakes accounted for all three Eastleigh goals as United’s winless league run reached 11 games. United led 1-0 and 2-1 and looked in control but couldn’t see the game out. The Spitfires’ second goal, after Lee Worgan made a mess of Seth Twumasi’s backpass, particular­ly frustrated Saunders. He said: “It’s three bad goals if you look at it. All three are bad goals. “I was quite comfortabl­e in the game. When you’re on top and you don’t take your chances it’s going to come back and haunt you and at the end there, they’re massive so it was always going to be a problem from set-pieces. “The second goal’s the disappoint­ing one for me because at that point they’ve not hurt us. “I honestly don’t think other than their first goal Worgs has had a save to make and then it’s a poor set from Seth I think, fired back at Lee. “It’s a poor kick from Lee and the fella scores and the third one’s just poor marking. “If you’ve got the chances we’ve had again you have to convert them because the simple facts are we aren’t keeping clean sheets. “If you’re not keeping clean sheets you’ve got to at least take your chances at the other end. “The worrying thing for me at the moment is we aren’t good enough in both boxes and that’s the long and short of it. “You control large parts of the games but we’re not good enough in both boxes. “Then again, you score two goals at home, you expect to see the game out and, as I say, all three goals were bad.”
