Maidstone United manager George Elokobi tells of dressing room frustration after describing goalless draw with Weymouth as ‘dull’

Maidstone manager George Elokobi had words in the dressing room after a “dull” goalless draw hit their National League South play-off hopes.

The Stones were held by relegated Weymouth on a frustrating afternoon at the Gallagher Stadium, leaving their top-seven hopes in the balance with three games left.

They still occupy the final play-off spot, moving two points clear of Weston-super-Mare, who were losing 1-0 when their game against Tonbridge was abandoned due to a medical emergency in the crowd.

The league board must decide whether the fixture will be replayed or the points awarded to the Angels.

If it’s replayed, United’s play-off hopes are out of their hands for the first time going into the final two weeks of the season.

On Maidstone’s performance, Elokobi said: “It was a little bit disjointed if I’m being totally honest.

“Fair play, credit to Weymouth, they came here with a game plan and they slowed the intensity, it was down to us to make sure we take the game to them.

“Our group of players gave it a right old go, they tried their honest best but in games like this, it’s about the three points.

“But we got a point, it’s a good reaction from last week (3-0 defeat at Weston), we got a clean sheet, we have to look at the positives.”

Elokobi, back in the dugout after missing the Weston game through illness, added: “There is frustration because our players are honest players, they want to win every single game.

“We’ve had words, we’ve spoken, which is important.

“We’ve told a few truths and it’s important some of the players we’ve spoken to, they take it in good faith.

Report: Maidstone 0-0 Weymouth

“A goal could have opened it up for either team but again it was a dull 0-0 game. But we have to look at the point
