Assistant manager Nick Greenwood accused Eastbourne Borough's players of complacency as they let a two-goal lead slip in the crucial relegation clash with Grays Athletic.

Jamie Taylor and debutant Luke Rooney had given Borough a 2-0 lead at half-time but they fell apart after the break as Harlee Deans and Wayne Gray forced a 2-2 draw.

Greenwood said: "We had enough chances in the first half to win the game. Jamie Taylor missed the penalty and Liam had a great opportunity so we could have been three or four ahead.

"I think the players thought it was over at half-time. We tried to warn the players but it didn't work as we never got going in the second half.

"Grays look like they are going down and our players thought they would capitulate but they proved they had a lot of spirit in the second half and it was too much for us."

Enough is ENOUGH!

SACK WILSON. Boos at the end of recent matches will tell Len Smith and Mike Spooner that a change is URGENTLY REQUIRED.

Time to bring in a manager who can WIN three points and not play so defensively!

After storming to a 2-0 advantage, why did Wilson-Greenwood pack the midfield in order to try and defend the lead?

The second-half was a shambles, and showed the lack of ambition from Wilson-Greenwood.

Crisis time now, and fans don't want Wilson anymore.

Bring in a manager who knows how to win matches, attractive football used to be the aim at Priory Lane. That has been missing for some time, surely an emergency meeting is long overdue by Smith, Spooner and other decision-makers who have worked long, hard hours to take Sports to the top of non-league football.

Disappointed again.
