Lewes 3-1 Hastings

[rook99]

Great bounce back win and two fantastic goals from our centre backs?? All they needed was some encouragement to shoot!

New boy Marcus Sablier looked great, heard he got man of the match - well done to him. We didn’t always look great at the back on the break but we did enough to get the 3 points.

Crowd in full voice in the 2nd half - let’s get an even bigger crowd in on Saturday and get the Pan rocking for the boys. COYR!

A splendid evenings entertainment. We were a country mile better than on Saturday and fully deserved that win after looking the better team throughout. Maybe they had the hairdryer after Chatham?
Well done boys !

It’s because I didn’t go that they won, you are welcome 🤣

Great result, my son said miles better than Saturday with more intent from the attackers.

Good so see such an improvement

Very entertaining game. My only criticism is the highlights don't include Vint's bullet header that smashed into our post, that was definitely worth seeing again

I watched the live feed on my tablet from a campsite in the south of France. Never used it before but thank you to everyone involved in it happening especially the commentator. It did give a very different experience to being there live and we looked good. Shame we can't have it on Saturday.

Bit of a storming effort, it must be said!

A much improved performance against a decent side. The addition of Sablier, Vint and the various positional changes seemed to give us a better shape and competitive edge. Yes, Hastings had their moments but we came through it. Good to see Vint competing for those high balls at the back and Bradley commanding the troops from midfield. I thought the ref did well keeping the game moving and not being over fussy. All in all a good game to watch. Credit to the players of both teams. This was just the performance we needed ahead of Saturdays FA Cup tie. COYR

Yeah good call, thought the referee had a very good game and allowed it to flow.

Elliott at centre half and Ayo right back with Penney in the middle feels like a really good balance, best we’ve looked all season last night.

Brilliant stuff, Sir Collins. Worth an Isthmian illustrative Oscar!

Amazing how we see the game differently, I thought the ref was awful! The fouls must have gone 70-80% in Hastings favour and any body contact on a Hastings player he blew up for.

Other than that I thought we were excellent to a man and beat a impressive looking Hastings side. COYR

I totally agree *fairweather* , I thought the REF was in white (didn’t like the Lewes bodily contact) pity he didn’t penalise all on the night. Shocking 3 out of 10

[keaton]

Yes, I don't like to criticise referees most are excellent at this level was he was very easy to give any foul Hastings way while letting a lot of physical stuff on us

[stuartnoel]

It’s funny how people view the game. I thought the referee was one of the best we’d had this season.
