Games Played:

EASTLEIGH 2-4 Rushden And Diamonds ---> FA Cup 2nd Round
We suffered our first home lost this season. I don’t think we would’ve done this bad if we had some our first team players, who were out from either suspension or injuries.

EASTLEIGH 4-1 Newport County
Andy Morrow puts on a superb performance that led to the media dubbing him “Marvellous” Morrow. 7 of the 11 players from Eastleigh got a rating 8 or over.

Manager Views: I’m pretty happy with the performance of the team this month. Mkhawana is settling well having scored 3 goals already! The teams home record is amazing, having scored more then 4 goals in 10 home games! The attendance is going up to around 900+ every home game which I am pleased. We’re out of two trophies in two months and we are still in the FA Trophy. I’m pleased to say that the finance is now going up, which is something I never predicted.

PS: Manager Of The Month:
Me (4 time out of 5 this year. Contender for Manager of the year?)

Also I will be busy for the last few weeks so I might not update until 2 weeks later.
