NO POSITIVES FOR EP

EAST PRESTON FC manager Mark Chaplin has called Saturday's home game with Eastbourne United Association as "must-win" after describing their performance at Rye "unacceptable".

The defeat has dropped EP back into the relegation zone after Sidley's win over Chichester and Shoreham's surprise victory at Horsham YMCA.

Chaplin said: "It was absolutely terrible. Going there we knew it was a big game but we just didn't perform. It was an unacceptable performance.

"Maybe the players felt under pressure because it was the first time for a while that we were expected to win."
