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.
