Another point on the board for Yeovil on Tuesday night, as they played out a 0-0 draw against Sutton United. But how did the rest of the division get on?! Let’s find out!

We begin in the Midlands, where a fairly comprehensive 3-0 victory for a visiting York City took them up to 2nd place, while the hosts Solihull Moors continue to look for their first home win since matchday 2. There was another away 3-0 win tonight as well, as Rochdale took the three points home from Hartlepool United.

There was an entertaining 2-2 draw played out at the Silverlake Stadium between Eastleigh and Woking, while there was drama at Mill Farm as another late winner for Tamworth made it two away wins in a row, against manager-less AFC Fylde. Another 2-1 win came in the Manchester area, as Altrincham ended Dagenham & Redbridge’s three game winning run despite former Glover Dion Pereira’s best efforts in the form of a penalty strike.

Maidenhead United registered their first win of September in a 2-1 result at home against bottom side Ebbsfleet United, while two first half goals put Boston United back into the relegation zone in a 2-0 defeat away at Gateshead. In a game of late goals, it finished all square at Grosvenor Vale between Wealdstone and Southend United, a 91st minute Callum McFarlane goal for the hosts cancelled out by a 94th minute equaliser for Josh Walker and the visitors.

Even more late drama came at Braintree Town, as a 90th minute penalty from Inih Effiong gave the hosts the win over FC Halifax Town, a tense battle between two playoff sides ended in victory for Oldham Athletic, as another Mike Fondop goal was the difference in a 1-0 result against Forest Green Rovers, while in the final game of the night, 10-man Aldershot Town fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to league leaders Barnet.

It was another narrow defeat on Saturday afternoon for Yeovil, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat in Greater Manchester to Oldham Athletic. Let’s see how the rest of the league got on…

We begin in Hampshire, where one of a handful of mouth-watering fixtures took place between early playoff contenders – Eastleigh came out on top at home in a 4-2 barnstormer over Rochdale, a Paul McCallum double helping the Spitfires end a two game losing run. There was another 4-2 result, but in favour of the away side in the Midlands, as Southend United defeated Solihull Moors, with a double from Aribim Pepple (absolutely incredible name) leading the Shrimpers to the three points.

Tuesday’s hosts Sutton United almost dropped points at home to Ebbsfleet United, however an Ashley Nadesan goal in the 77th minute rescued the three points in a 3-2 belter. In opposite circumstances, Altrincham threw away three points against a 10-man Boston United, who had their goalkeeper sent off. The hosts scored two goals in two minutes post-red card, but goals from Keaton Ward and Cameron Green earned a point for the Pilgrims. In the evening kickoff, it was a comfortable 3-0 win for Barnet in their local clash against Wealdstone, who now climb to the top of the table.

Mentioned earlier on were playoff contenders clashing, and here’s your next fixture for that – Gateshead were the hosts, but the visiting Forest Green Rovers were the victors in a 2-0 result that sent the Rovers into 2nd place. Life for AFC Fylde post-Chris Beech remains rosy, as the Coasters remain unbeaten in caretaker manager Nathan Delfouneso’s hands – they drew 1-1 at home to Woking, as Nick Haughton took his tally for the campaign to 8.

There were three 1-0 wins for away sides on Saturday as well, a dramatic 93rd winner from Tom Tonks handing Tamworth a huge three points against Braintree Town, an early Josh Umerah goal made it three wins on the bounce for Dagenham & Redbridge against Hartlepool United, and in a lowkey affair, FC Halifax Town took the three points courtesy of a Florent Hoti strike against Maidenhead United. In the final game of the day, Aldershot Town and York City played out a 0-0 draw.

In the only goalless encounter of the weekend, Yeovil shared the points with Altrincham on Saturday. Let’s take a look at what happened across the rest of the division.

There were many high-scoring affairs yesterday, none bigger than at Victoria Road, where Dagenham & Redbridge annihilated early league leaders Gateshead in a 7-1 drubbing. Three sets of doubles for Josh Rees, Junior Morias and former Glover Dion Pereira helped fire the Daggers up the table. Across the league, there were five games finishing 3-1, with perhaps the biggest surprise of the set coming at the Shay as FC Halifax Town toppled Eastleigh.

Southend United’s inconsistent start continued with defeat at home to Sutton United, an early John Akinde goal against one of his former employers wasn’t enough for Braintree Town, as they fell to a 3-1 loss away at Barnet, while a potential early relegation six-pointer ended in victory for Tamworth, condemning Maidenhead United to another defeat. The final 3-1 result went in favour of Oldham Athletic, as they took all three points home from Woking.

There were even more goals going in across the league, as York City defeated 10-men AFC Fylde 3-0, the result also spelled the end of Chris Beech’s time in charge of the visitors, becoming the second managerial casualty of the season – a nod as well to Callum Harriott, the former Glover got himself on the scoresheet for the Minstermen. Forest Green Rovers missed the chance to reach the summit of the division in a 2-2 draw at home to Wealdstone, a Callum McFarlane double securing an important point for the visitors.

Tuesday’s visitors Solihull Moors made it two wins in a week, and two away wins at that, as they defeated current playoff contenders Rochdale at Deepdale in a 2-1 win – Boston United and Aldershot Town played out a 1-1 draw, while Ebbsfleet United secured their first win of the season at the ninth attempt, defeating Darren Sarll’s Hartlepool United in a 1-0 win.

It’s back down to earth with a bump for Yeovil following their defeat against Solihull Moors on Tuesday night. Let’s see how the rest of the division got on…

We start at Rochdale, who are starting to get some momentum going with their fourth straight win in a 3-1 victory over Maidenhead United, Kairo Mitchell getting two of Dale’s three goals. There were goals aplenty for other home sides too, as both Forest Green Rovers and Dagenham & Redbridge registered 3-0 wins over AFC Fylde and Sutton United respectively – a shoutout to former Glover Dion Pereira, who scored two of the Daggers’ goals.

There were three 2-1 wins across the league, and we’ll begin with Barnet‘s win over Saturday’s visitors Altrincham – a 92nd minute winner from another former Glover, Rhys Browne, bagged all three points for the Bees. The other two games saw newly promoted teams take the lead, before falling to defeat, as York City and Hartlepool United overcame deficits against Braintree Town and Boston United.

Southend United condemned early pace setters Eastleigh to a 2-0 defeat, with yet another ex-Glover – Nathan Ralph – on the scoresheet, while FC Halifax Town and Oldham Athletic shared the points in a 1-1 draw containing two yellow cards in as many minutes for, you guessed it, another former Glover – Otis Khan, who will be back in time for Yeovil’s visit to Boundary Park next weekend.

In the final two games, Woking defeated Wealdstone via a Cian Harries penalty, and Ebbsfleet United secured a point in their first game since dismissing head coach Danny Searle, as they held Aldershot Town to a 0-0 draw. Gateshead and Tamworth didn’t play on Tuesday night.

It’s two wins on the bounce for Yeovil now, and once again in chaotic fashion, as they staged two late comebacks to win a classic encounter between themselves and AFC Fylde today. Let’s see if any of the other National League teams can match that! (spoilers, they can’t!)

We begin in Greater Manchester, where Altrincham condemned Ebbsfleet United to another heavy defeat in a 4-0 drubbing at home. Two goals within a minute of each other within the first 10 minutes dictated the state of the game on another worrying afternoon for the visiting side. Last week’s hosts Boston United bounced back with an emphatic 3-0 win away at Sutton United, Jacob Hazel grabbing a double for the Pilgrims, while another top of the table clash went in Gateshead’s favour as they defeated a visiting Barnet side 2-0.

In the evening kickoff, Aldershot Town’s inconsistent start to the season continued as another great Rochdale performance meant the visitors left as 2-0 winners. The final 2-0 result of the afternoon was in York City’s favour, as they defeated Wealdstone on their travels.

There were two 1-1 draws today, as Oldham Athletic recovered for a point against Southend United, while Maidenhead United dropped points at home against Dagenham & Redbridge. Early frontrunners Eastleigh bounced back from their defeat at Gateshead last weekend with a 1-0 win over Tamworth, while Forest Green Rovers defeated Solihull Moors by the same scoreline.

Finally, there were two 0-0 draws, as Hartlepool United and FC Halifax Town, and Braintree Town and Woking all shared a point each.

Yeovil got themselves back on track with a chaotic 3-1 win at Boston United on Saturday. Let’s see how the rest of the division got on, in a day full of drama!

We start at The Hive, where Barnet took on National League North champions Tamworth. It was a one sided affair, in which Zak Brunt scored a hat trick, among other scorers in a 7-0 drubbing of their northern visitors. There was another game with seven goals too, but more evenly spread out, as Aldershot defeated Maidenhead United in a 4-3 thriller, Maidenhead’s Tristan Abrahams bagging a hat trick in vain.

Rochdale continued their good form following their bank holiday victory with a thumping 3-0 win over Woking, dominating for the majority of the game. In a 1st vs 2nd clash, 10-man Gateshead scored a last gasp winner at home against Eastleigh to  leave themselves at the top of the table, and the only unbeaten side in the division. There was further drama at Gander Green Lane in the evening kickoff between Sutton United and Forest Green Rovers, as an 89th minute winner from Charlie McCann handed the visitors the three points in a clash between both of the relegated EFL outfits.

Following their bank holiday defeat, York City bounced back with a win away at Dagenham & Redbridge thanks to Lenell John-Lewis and Ollie Pearce, while in a clash of the locals, it finished 1-1 between Altrincham and Oldham Athletic. It also finished 1-1 between Solihull Moors and Wealdstone.

The difficult start continues for Ebbsfleet United, as they to a 1-0 defeat at home to FC Halifax Town, an early goal from Angelo Cappello rooting the hosts to the bottom of the table with 1 point from their opening 6 games. It finished 0-0 between Hartlepool United and Braintree Town, and in the final… “match” of the day, it was a postponement between AFC Fylde and Southend United, following train issues for the Essex-based side, meaning Fylde will have an extra week of rest ahead of our clash next weekend up north.

Tom Bailey is back with transfer round up of the National League, including Glovers corner…

Glovers’ Corner

Before we dive into the National League ins and outs, let’s look at the former Glovers that have moved about in the last couple of weeks. We may miss a few, so if any of you see any we may have missed, tag us on Facebook or Twitter (or X), or leave a comment below and we’ll add them in the next week’s round-up!

A few on the move this week, one player that has found themselves in limbo is Andros Townsend. The 33 year old, who made 10 league appearances for the Glovers in 2009, signed for Antalyaspor this week, however they’re under a transfer ban so are battling to confirm his arrival. A move is expected, even if he doesn’t get to play immediately… meanwhile, in the National League, Otis Khan has signed for Oldham Athletic this week, following his departure from Grimsby Town in the summer.

Sam Johnstone signs for Wolves in the Premier League from Crystal Palace in a £10million move, and finally, Callum Rowe (remember him?) has joined National League North side Radcliffe.

Callum Rowe – in case you didn’t remember him! Picture courtesy of Mike Kunz.

An agonising late goal from Connor McBride meant it was defeat for Yeovil against Rochdale on Bank Holiday Monday. Let’s see how the rest of the league got on…

We begin at the Darren Sarll derby, where Woking defeated Hartlepool United in dramatic circumstances. Sarll’s current employers were 2-0 up within 10 minutes, courtesy of Joe Grey, and it remained that way until the 68th minute where the comeback began via Matt Ward. Tunji Akinola got the second at the 80 minute mark, before Harry Beautyman wrapped things up with a 91st minute winner for the hosts.

There was another 3-2 thriller further north, as Tamworth registered their first win at National League level since 2014 by defeating Aldershot; there was also a first win for Maidenhead United, as they toppled Barnet with a 3-1 win courtesy of a Reece Smith double. Southend United and Dagenham & Redbridge played out a frenetic 2-2 draw in front of over 8,000 fans at Roots Hall. The Daggers thought they had all three points secured, before a 93rd minute equaliser from Gus Scott-Morriss rescued a point for the Shrimpers.

It took a 94th minute winner from Charlie McCann to bag all three points for Forest Green Rovers in a 2-1 win at home to Altrincham, while Boston United turned last week’s draw into a win this week, as they inflicted York City’s first defeat of the season with a 2-0 win. Eastleigh’s 100% start came to an end in a top-of-the-table clash between themselves and Sutton United, a 1-1 draw leaving the two sides 1st and 3rd after five games.

Gateshead continued their unbeaten start against Oldham Athletic, taking an early lead through Tyrelle Newton, before Manny Monthe equalised in the second half to split the points between the two sides. It was a day of firsts on Monday, as Wealdstone got their first win on the board with a 1-0 win over AFC Fylde, and Ebbsfleet United got their first point on the board with a 0-0 draw at Braintree Town. Finally, Solihull Moors took three points back down the M6 in a 1-0 win at FC Halifax Town.

Jordan Young has said he feels his attacking colleagues are equally to blame for Yeovil’s loss against Rochdale on Saturday.

Yeovil had the bulk of the chances within the first hour of the game before Rochdale scored a late winner in a 0-1 defeat for the Glovers.

Speaking to BBC’s Mark Stillman post-match, Young suggested the defence weren’t entirely at fault for the result, adding that he felt Yeovil performed well in the first hour.

“I thought the first half was really good, controlled the game out of possession and in possession, I thought we had a couple of good chances we probably should have took, but other than that they didn’t really do much”.

“It’s that time in the game where they’re on top that we’ve got to see it out better, the goal was obviously not good, but it’s some of the attacker’s fault as well, we’ve got to score when the chances come, we can’t keep blaming other people and we’ve just got to stick together”.

The wide-man felt he may have been hard done by with the decision on his long distance header, cheekily suggesting it may well have crossed the line.

“I never normally head the ball, but I’ve just got a contact, I didn’t even try and score really, it’s just hit my head, but I thought it was in, I obviously couldn’t see it, the linesman was a bit far away but I thought it was in“.

When asked about the step up in quality following promotion to the National League, he said it’s a noticeable difference.

“I think teams are more ruthless in this league and more difficult to break down, but you’ve seen today that when we have the ball we look really good”.

“Teams are saying to us how good we are, but we’re not winning the game, so you can be as good as you want at a level but if you don’t get results, it’s no good”.

Young also spoke to Ian, and shared his frustration on a good first hour with nothing to show for it.

“Yeah it’s really frustrating, I think the way we played up to however many minutes was really good, but especially when we’re attacking that end, we’ve got to be ruthless, we’ve got to get shots off, make the keeper work as much as we can and keep the ball in that area of the pitch and eventually we’ll get a goal, even if it’s in the 80th minute”.

“It’s frustrating because sometimes we don’t really know what happens in a game when it changes, but when it does change we need to ride the storm a little bit and stay in the game”.

It ends in defeat at home for Yeovil, as they fell to a late winner in a 1-0 defeat to Rochdale. Tom Bailey was in the stands for this one, let’s see what he thought.

A gutting result following a valiant effort. We just didn’t quite have enough in the end to get over the line, in a literal sense as well as a wider perspective. For the first 60 minutes, we looked like we had something about us, getting forward and putting the Rochdale defence under some pressure, including two goal line clearances, but it just wouldn’t get over the line today.

A shame to see us drop off in the last half hour or so, as we had another decent attacking showing today, with nothing to show for it.

I don’t think McCooper worked as a midfield duo today. I was initially surprised by the benching of Matt Worthington, before remembering he’d played every minute of every league match so far, and I then became curious at the possibilities of Brett McGavin and Charlie Cooper in the middle of the field. While it wasn’t a bad showing, I don’t think it quite worked today. McGavin felt a little lost at times, when he got on the ball he’d hold for too long in deeper areas, and at times Cooper felt like the attacking threat of the two – I see it working the other way round, with McGavin pushing forwards and Cooper sweeping up. Not against seeing it again, but it didn’t click for me today.

The subs didn’t work out. When Harvey Greenslade and Sam Pearson entered the field, renewed hope filled me, Greenslade will run until the sun goes down, and Pearson has proven to be a threat on both wings so far this season. Unfortunately, they simply vanished today, and it coincided with the team dropping off and Rochdale growing into the game. I wouldn’t say it’s their fault, purely bad timing, but Cooper’s usual subs to spark something didn’t help us today.

Just needed to speed things up a bit. At points today, there were opportunities to break quickly, and instead we closed ourselves off to build from the back. When you’re a goal ahead, or clearly dominating the game, this is all well and good, but when you’re hunting for that opening goal, particularly as times wears on, it becomes difficult to understand why we won’t counter with pace. When Sam Pearson came on, he had acres of space to run into from a caught corner, a brilliant opportunity for Ollie Wright to sling a long throw out into his path, but we waited… and waited… and waited… until Rochdale had regained their shape and high line, causing us to start from the back once again. A bit of pace and intensity could’ve got us over the line today I felt.

The fans were class today. A nod to the fans today, that second half was buzzing. I was in the Screwfix stand, and hearing the Thatchers off to my left in fine voice for a good 75 minutes or so was brilliant to see, and I do think it helped the boys along. A few long stoppages sucked the life out of the game and the fans unfortunately, but brilliant work you Glovers!

On to Boston!
