Solihull 0-2 Boston.
We created a lot of chances however lack of finishing ability was the difference in this game. Boston took their chances when it counted and we did not, to win a game of football it does not matter how much you create it's how many you can score and we were not successful in this avenue. The players will be annoyed with themselves because they created a lot however it counts for nothing because the lack of finishing meant we did not get the positive result we wanted. The lack of goals in our team is starting to become a concern so players are really going to have to start bucking their ideas up as this is not good enough.

Scunthorpe United 0 - 0 Hartlepool United
Lots of big noting from this @Jamma bloke pre-game. Still can't get it done unless there's penalties involved. Genuinely does feel like there aren't any other managers in these leagues for me to play against though! Truth is they should have won, we had to rotate heavily, played the best eleven we have but unsurprisingly when you've played each other like 85 times Jamal was well ready for it. The THREE red cards tells you how spiteful of a match this was - over not much really - that probably is why neither side does better than a point this week.

Dagenham & Redbridge 0–2 Buxton
Buxton pulled off a remarkable away victory at Victoria Road, defeating Dagenham & Redbridge 2–0 despite playing with ten men for nearly half an hour.
The visitors started brightly and took the lead on 28 minutes when midfielder Toby Campbell’s long-range drive slipped through goalkeeper Sam Howes’ hands — a nightmare moment for the Dagenham stopper. The hosts reacted by switching to a more attacking setup, but Buxton’s defensive shape, led superbly by Kane Burton, remained solid.
Dagenham looked to rally after the break and came agonisingly close when Kieran Harrack struck the post. Moments later, Buxton’s scorer Campbell went from hero to villain — sent off on 51 minutes for hauling down Danny Wilson as the last man.
With a man advantage Mike McLeod’s side pressed relentlessly. Against the run of play, Buxton doubled their lead on 58 minutes as Chris Coleman’s speculative effort dipped wickedly over Howes for a stunning second.
Despite waves of Dagenham pressure — including late chances for Carroll and Wilson — Buxton goalkeeper Jack Young produced a series of fine saves to preserve his clean sheet and secure a Man of the Match-worthy performance from Burton at the back.
