EASTLEIGH striker James Constable reckons the Spitfires’ standards have slipped since the turn of the year.
The big spending club have lost their last four National League games and their last victory came on December 19 at home to bottom club Kidderminster Harriers.
Since they were knocked out of the FA Cup at the third round stage by Championship outfit Bolton Wanderers in January, Chris Todd’s side have picked up just two points from six games.
They have fallen to tenth in the league table and face a big game against leaders Cheltenham Town on Tuesday night.
The 31-year-old told the BBC: “We should not be going four or five games on the bounce without getting a win.
“We have let our standards drop slightly. It’s hard to put your finger on it, but as a group, we are more than good enough to pick up results.”
And the former Oxford United man, who joined Eastleigh in the summer of 2014, has backed fellow forward Matt Tubbs to come good at the Silverlake Stadium.
Tubbs, who won the Conference with Crawley Town in 2010-11, has yet to score in his three Eastleigh appearances since joining the club on loan from League Two side Portsmouth.
But Constable said: “I have played with Tubbsy at England C level and have known him for years. He is the sort of player you want in your squad and he is definitely one who can go out there and get us some goals.”
