Maidstone United caretaker manager George Elokobi says first-half tactics were wrong in 2-1 defeat at Wealdstone

George Elokobi took responsibility for the first-half performance that cost Maidstone on Tuesday night as they fell 12 points from safety.

United’s 3-5-2 system didn’t work out as hosts Wealdstone dominated and led 2-0 at the break through Jack Cook’s sixth-minute opener and a Corie Andrews header midway through the half.

The interval gave caretaker boss Elokobi the chance to change things around, with Sam Bone dropping into a back four and Bivesh Gurung introduced in midfield.

Josh Shonibare, who’d played wing-back in the first half, was pushed on and he pulled a goal back as Maidstone improved after the break.
