It was a miserable afternoon for the Glovers on Saturday, as they fell to a drab 4-0 defeat away to Rochdale. Let’s see what else went down across the league…
We begin with a big upset, as Boston United did the double over York City in an emphatic 3-1 victory, giving themselves a sliver of hope of survival, while York dropped further points in their title hunt. In contrasting fashion, Barnet comfortably defeated Maidenhead United in a 3-0 scoreline to move to the top of the tree, and leaving Maidenhead a point outside the drop zone.
Aldershot Town continued to show fight in their battle near the bottom, coming from behind twice to draw 2-2 at home against Tamworth. Three big games up and down the league finished 2-0, as a huge playoff boost was handed to FC Halifax Town, defeating Matt Taylor and Solihull Moors in their first game together; at the bottom of the table, AFC Fylde kept themselves in the survival battle with a massive win at home to Wealdstone, while it was derby day defeat for Dagenham & Redbridge, as they lost at home to Southend United.
There was yet another late goal to save Forest Green Rovers, as Christian Doidge scored in the 94th minute to rescue a point away at playoff chargers Altrincham; two playoff contenders played out a 1-1 draw as Oldham Athletic couldn’t defeat a weakened Gateshead, a game that also saw the debut of former Yeovil captain Matt Worthington, while Woking stood firm with 10 men to continue their unbeaten start under Neal Ardley in a 1-1 draw at Hartlepool United.
Finally, there were two 1-0 victories, as Sutton United dispatched of Eastleigh, while Braintree Town secured a huge victory for their survival ambitions against an Ebbsfleet United side that is all but down, sitting 14 points from safety with two or three games played on the teams above… check the link for the table below to take a look for yourself!
