39 - They've had shot after shot after shot on us with nothing doing. Meanwhile, we've had a complete shank by Taaffe and then this: Taaffe with the beautiful drop shot pass to Geynrih, who shrugs off two would-be tacklers and slots it home shortly after dribbling into the box, already his 10th goal of the year. 1-0

46 - Terrible diving decision by Chambers allows them to literally walk into the goal. 1-1

64 - Dixon on for Martin, Jeffery on for Taaffe. But before that happens, Martin does a beautiful pass for Geynrih, whose shot is denied by the post

72 - Heh. Jeffery is knocked out, so we try Harris at striker and Reid at MR.

80 - Not sure WTF happened there, but they score 1-2

Not going to be harsh on them for this. Our backs were up against it to begin with, and then with the injuries and yeah...

Speaking of which Jack Jeffery is our third injured striker and is out for 2 months. In other news, Crawley fires their manager. Tough time to be in League 2 with all the firings.

Loan-In - MLR Connor Hughes - 3 months
From Alfreton although he apparently can't be registered for the next match. Strictly a backup, but one who provides better quality than Reid on the MR and definitely Hoban on the ML.

Good Trains
Tom Sharpe
Callum McNish
Samuel Bangura

Bad Trains
Alexandr Geynrih
Izak Reid
Dale Binns

Board's delighted and we made $31.5k last month despite being over wage budget due to the fact our attendance has shot way up - we're averaging 1,763 attendees - still way last in League 2 - only Crawley is also below 2,000 and they're just that at 1,923 - but still.

18 - McNish-Taaffe-Geynrih create a triangulation, and it ends with our Uzbek blasting one past the poor keeper for the early lead. 1-0

23 - Taaffe argues for a penalty, doesn't get it, and is slapped with a yellow for his efforts.

35 - Perfect cross by McNish to an open Harris on the far side, and the Aldershot goalie is caught napping, giving up the easy score. 2-0

55 - Sharpe misses a jumper and Chambers comes out which ends up in a long-range effort scorching right over his head and into the net. 2-1

59 - I'm starting to hate Chambers. Poor decisions. 2-2

67 - Bangura on for shoddy Clowes

73 - Their goalie can't hang on to the ball and Geynrih is right there to punish him for it. 3-2

7.9 for McNish, 7.7 for Taaffe and 8.8 for PotM Geynrih. It was a scary win, but a win nonetheless.

We're now 7th, just barely hanging on to the last playoff spot.
