Further pain was inflicted upon Yeovil on Tuesday night, as they suffered a damaging 3-0 defeat at home to relegation battlers Boston United. Let’s take a look at what else went on in the league on Tuesday night.
There were only four fixtures in midweek for the National League (including Yeovil), so we’ll take a closer look at what went on. We’ll begin once again with Rochdale, who went into half-time goalless with Altrincham. However, three second half goals from Aidan Barlow, Jay Bird and Kairo Mitchell handed the Dale all three points in their playoff hunt. The defeat for Altrincham meant they fell out of the playoff spots, with Rochdale leap-frogging them, as well as having two games in hand on their Tuesday opposition.
We head back down south next to The New Lawn, where Forest Green Rovers hosted Sutton United. The hosts had a lead going into half-time, with Charlie McCann and Christian Doidge grabbing the goals against the run of play. Sutton gave it all they had after the break, and they got one goal back through Will Davies, who moved himself onto 14 goals for the season, but it wasn’t enough as they left Gloucestershire empty handed.
Finally, we head back north to Boundary Park, where Oldham Athletic defeated Eastleigh 2-0. The hosts took an early lead through January addition Billy Waters, and continued to assert themselves on the game before Joe Caprice added the second with around fifteen minutes left in the game. Eastleigh’s misery was compounded when debutant Nathan Tshikuna received a straight red card just before the end of the game.
