Just as Ebbsfleet were showing signs of success they changed things around - Weston moved flanks where Roberts looked much more comfortable against him - then he ended up moving more central - the introduction of a number of subs on their part changed their game plan - maybe for the worse. I also think that they were, when they got the chance pinging crosses in from the left to the far post - not particularly pointing the finger at Jennings bit we struggled to cope with the aerial threat posed by Kedwell who looked very strong.

To be fair for their goal either Jennings or Pearson could have challenged Kedwell but he ended up out muscling Pearson which takes a bit of doing. A player like Kedwell will always target the full backs if he can get the right service. We got a bit sloppy straight after the break but the main thing was despite their goid away form they never looked like getting back into the game.
