It was close yet so far for the Glovers on a chilly Wednesday evening, as they were narrowly defeated in a 2-1 loss at home to Barnet. Let’s take a look at what else went on in the midweek fixtures…
We begin at Dagenham & Redbridge, where despite the best efforts of the 10 men of the visiting Aldershot Town, the hosts clung on to three points with former Glover Dion Pereira scoring in a 3-2 win. There was a heavy thud for Boston United following Saturday’s elation, as they were thoroughly outplayed in a 4-0 drubbing at Oldham Athletic, while defeat at Cressing Road for Braintree Town saw the end of the road for Angelo Harrop, as his side lost another crucial relegation three pointer to Maidenhead United.
In a reverse of fortunes for the now former league leaders, York City were thumped 3-0 away to their bogey side Altrincham, while in the ‘Kevin Phillips derby’, it was a win for his former employers Hartlepool United in a 2-0 scoreline. Former Glover Andrew Oluwabori was on the scoresheet as FC Halifax Town prevented Forest Green Rovers from taking top spot in a 1-1 draw at the New Lawn.
There were three 1-0 wins across the two days, as 10 man Rochdale secured a huge win against Gateshead, Sutton United furthered their playoff push with a win against fellow contenders Solihull Moors, and Eastleigh defeated basement side Ebbsfleet United. In the final match of the midweek, it was a 0-0 stalemate between Woking and Southend United.
Wealdstone and Tamworth didn’t play midweek, as both sides are in FA Cup action this weekend.
