Vauxhall (8-2-12, 21st) at Dag & Red (10-2-10, 8th)

Ugh, this one hurts. We actually take a lead on a 1st half Hubbard goal. They equalize in the 62nd minute when Walker can't catch a very soft cross that was floated into the box. It bounces behind him and they run up to put it through. Then, just when I thought we would at least be able to salvage a nice road draw, they score in the 86th minute.

Final: Dag & Red 2, Vauxhall 1
Goal: Hubbard
Assist: Hewitt
Top Three: Hubbard 7.1, O'Callaghan 6.7, Hewitt 6.7
Worst: Everitt 6.1

FA Trophy: 2nd Round

Vauxhall vs. Maidenhead United

Maidenhead are a division lower than us, in the Skrill South. We control the match as expected. Eventhough we're only up 1-0 in the first half, it's pretty comfortable because they're never sending any threatening balls in our area. We add to it in the 2nd half and coast to an easy victory.

Final: Vauxhall 2, Maidenhead United 0
Goals: Hubbard, O'Callaghan
Assists: Rainford 2
Top Three: Hubbard 8.3, Rainford 8.1, O'Callaghan 7.8
Worst: Clark 6.6

Vauxhall (8-2-13, 22nd) at Aldershot (8-6-9, 13th)

Aldershot have our old GK Ben Woodhead. They go up 2-0 on a cross and a penalty. Hubbard continues to be on fire and pulls one back before halftime. It looks like we have a great chance to equalize, but they beat us on a counter to extend their lead. Hubbard pulls back one more, but we can't get the equalzer.

Final: Aldershot 3, Vauxhall 2
Goals: Hubbard 2
Assists: O'Callaghan, Dey
Top Three: Hubbard 8.8, Dey 8.0, O'Callaghan 6.9
Worst: Tait 5.7

Vauxhall (8-2-14, 23rd) at Lincoln (13-6-6, 4th)

Two weeks off due to a waterlogged field, but it's the same old Vauxhall football. Inability to put chances away. Inability to stop opposing chances. We go up 1-0, miss several chances to extend that lead and they equalize. We go up 2-1, miss several chances to extend. They equalize and take the lead. We come right back down and score only a minute later to salvage the draw. A road draw against Lincoln should be a good thing, but we should've got 2 more pts out of this one.

Final: Vauxhall 3, Lincoln 3
Goals: Hubbard 2, Dark
Assists: Peake 2, O'Callaghan
Top Three: Hubbard 8.8, O'Callaghan, 7.5, Dark 7.4
Worst: Harris 6.2

*Relegation is a real possibility at this point. Every time it looks like we'll go on a run to get out of the relegation spots, we have a shitty month like this one.

*At the end of last season, the board decided to build a new field and took out a huge loan to do it. Meanwhile, we don't have enough money to get players that can compete and they refuse to increase the budget.
