Aldershot Town lost 2-0 away to Sutton United in the National League on Wednesday. Early goals from C. Carter and D. Ogbonna inside the first eleven minutes decided the contest.
The visitors, now 13th in the table with 18 points from 14 games, were chasing the game from the outset. Carter struck after just one minute, and Ogbonna doubled the lead ten minutes later, assisted by E. Osadebe. Aldershot made four changes at halftime, introducing A. Lewis, C. Lawless, T. Abrahams and J. Matton later on, but could not find a way back into the match.
B. Tuma and J. Knight were both shown yellow cards during the second half. The result means Aldershot have lost their last two league matches, following a 1-0 home defeat to Wealdstone last Friday. Their recent form across all competitions reads two wins, one draw and two losses. This record includes a 2-0 win over Tadley Calleva on Tuesday 20 October and a 5-3 victory against Norwich City U21 on Tuesday 13 October, but also a 3-1 loss at Altrincham on Saturday 10 October and a 2-2 draw with Tadley Calleva on Saturday 17 October.
With a goal difference of +1, they are now 23 points behind leaders Boreham Wood. The immediate focus shifts to Saturday's home fixture against Gateshead, who currently sit 24th in the standings. That match at the EBB Stadium kicks off at 3pm and presents a key opportunity to stop the slide. The team's goal minutes for the season now stand at 22, with 17 conceded. Their next fixture is a home game against Gateshead on Saturday, October 31st. The club's overall league record stands at five wins, three draws and six losses from their 14 matches, having scored 18 goals and conceded 17 this season.
