George Elokobi says National League teams will struggle to live with Maidstone once they start taking their chances. Caretaker boss Elokobi liked what he saw from his side in their 3-1 defeat by Eastleigh at the Gallagher on Tuesday night.
The Stones may be bottom and 10 points from safety but Elokobi took plenty of encouragement for the season run-in. They were all over Eastleigh after Jack Barham’s second-half equaliser, with Roarie Deacon hitting the post and Jerome Binnom-Williams firing wide after a magnificent run opened up a big chance.
The visitors scored twice near the end but Elokobi was positive in defeat. “Sometimes that’s how the game goes,” he said. “It wasn’t a lack of commitment or effort or desire to win.
It was all there. “The chances were created, we played some technical and tactical stuff. “However, it was about that end product that we didn’t have today. “But we are upbeat as a management team.
