Speaking exclusively to cambridgeunited.com after the game, former U's midfielder Danny Brown was disappointed with the Bank Holiday result for current side Eastbourne Borough, despite a number of chances created.
"I'm pleased to have got on the pitch but not with the result, still in this league if you concede goals from set pieces like that you know what you will get from the game.
"The early goal killed it for us, you know that with the crowd here and with the run you've been on the longer we held you the more disgruntled the fans would become and that would have played into our hands. Looking back if we could have held on to a nil-nil scoreline we could well have got something out of the game, after all we had enough chances."
Brown was confident that the end result could have been different had the scoreline been different at half time.
"The conditions out there played its part, it was a lot windier than it looked from the stands and with the slight slope on the pitch it was always to be that you would pin us back in the first half and in the second half we knew we could reverse that and get at your defence. If it hadn't been the fact we started the second half two goals down we could I think we could have left with a least a point."
Brown commented on his tackle with Adam Miller which saw the U's midfielder retreat from the pitch.
"When I went in for the tackle with Adam Miller I heard the whole ground go silent and when I was running back I heard one of the fans shout 'that's Brownie' and it raised a smile. To be fair we both went in to win it and the ball sat up nicely and it could easily have gone either way but I came up trumps. For any young player out there the trick is to build up momentum, put your heart and soul into it and go through the ball in a tackle like that and you'll come out on top.
"Still I can smile about that but I'm still disappointed by the end result. The changes forced on us today put a lot of youngsters out there and they did well for the club but if you give goals away from set pieces like we did then you won't get much out of any game."
