Blyth (6-11-27, 24th) at Ebbsfleet (14-11-19, 18th)

They're 1:6 faves, we're 10:1 dogs on the road. Just one more match to endure after this one. We actually beat them 4-2 in our previous meeting, seems like a lifetime ago. 5-4-1 Counter to start.

GK: McDonald
D: McGovern, Seery, Jones, Purvis, Rowbotham
MF: Brown, Morrison, Groves, Bembo-Leta
ST: Lobjoit
Bench: (Sinclair, Wedderburn, Mole, O'Connor, Gonzalez)

Halftime: Blyth 0 - Ebbsfleet 0
Quiet first half, especially for us, outshot 5-1 with only 36% of poss. Our only momentary threat came from a nice long run by Bembo-Leta, something we need to see more from him.

Fulltime: Ebbsfleet 4 - Blyth 0
West buries a loose ball rebound from high in the area at 51'
West scores again, closer this time, after a quick pass from Harley at 53'
Seddon from high in the area at 62'
Switch to 4-4-2 Attacking at 63'
Morrison foul in the box, West buries the penalty at 67'
As of 70' (and a wide shot by Mole) we've been outshot 14-2

Sigh. McDonald's good first half turns to disaster. We just came apart across the board in the second half. Outshot 17-6, and nothing particularly dangerous in that half dozen.

McDonald 6.7
McGovern 5.8, Seery 6.1, Jones 5.5, Purvis 5.2, Rowbotham 5.1
Brown 6.3, Morrison 5.4, Groves 6.7, Bembo-Leta 6.6
ST: Lobjoit 6.0
Subs: Mole (62' for McGovern) 6.3, Sinclair (71' for Rowbotham) 6.6

Heck of a way to mark my 100th career match as a manager. That's 18 straight without a win, in case you're counting.
Fans are said to be devastated by the manner of the defeat. No kidding.
