Shaping up? Eastbourne Borough manager Danny Bloor and his coaches have some thinking to do as they head for St Albans City in National South tomorrow.

Ten days ago for the trip to Taunton, the Borough boss switched his side’s formation from the 4-2-3-1 which has served them well all season, and decided to “play a three” – three centre-backs and two wing-backs. It served the purpose with a 2-1 win in Somerset.

Following a 2-2 thriller against Chelmsford last weekend, the seams came apart on Tuesday, when a disastrous opening half-hour saw visitors Tonbridge Angels storm to a 2-0 lead. A change back to Borough’s accustomed back four did steady the ship, but Tonbridge hung on for a 2-1 victory.
