First of all a moan about Aldershot. The away end is fu**ing miles from the main entrance up hill and down dale then through a country park. I was knackered by the time I got in. 626 reported town fans with 6 yes 6 portaloos as the only toilet facilities for both male and female. You can imagine the mess. Considering they are an ex league club it was pathetic but hey we won.
The ref was shocking (how many times have I said that in this league?) 4 yellows to us in the first half 3 for blatant diving and 1 deserved. They got away with murder whilst we got away with nothing.
We never looked like conceding in all honesty. Grimes looks a great acquisition and Loach looked a solid pair of hands. Of the other newbies Tshimanga was very quiet but did it when needed in front of goal. He took it well running into the area with a defender either side of him and slotted past the keeper.
King and Miller both looked sharp but once King had his yellow he seemed to hold off with any challenges. Kahn looked lively when he came on for Oyeleke who went off injured, hope its not serious.
Overall we looked well balanced for a change. The first 30 we were a bit quiet but after that we were impressive. Not a great game but entertaining.
Negatives. Aldershot - everything, Weston who gave away too many balls straight to their forwards putting us under pressure and the ref - card happy bastard.
Positives. We won, Its mainly down hill after the initial climb coming out of the ground.
