UPDATED AFTER TONIGHT'S GAME: 4TH PLACE IS IN OUR HANDS

With Aldershot taking all three points in a very unconvincing 1-0 win against a ten men Gateshead with no recognised goalkeeper for almost the entire second half, the final playoff spot is still up for grabs. For us, we can finish no lower than 6th. Highest is 4th - and now looking more likely.

It's now the case that if we win on Saturday we will finish 4th.

If we fail to win on Saturday then 5th place will require either of these to happen (4th if both happen):

• Solihull fail to win
• Gateshead fail to win (a win for Gateshead and a draw for us would put them level on points but above us either on goal difference or goals scored)

Simples

Yes

Theyve not subbed after sending off. No sub keeper?

Think they've put a defender between the sticks.
If Aldershot can't get this done, they don't deserve to be in the play offs imho.

PS. Hope I haven't jinxed em! 😉

Correction, maybe they do look like scoring….

Gateshead keeper - straight red. Aldershot don’t look particularly likely to score however, despite the man advantage…

Gateshead down to 10. Straight red.Harness the keeper. Shots 1-0.

and Aldershot have rested Stokes and Tolaj.

They're on the bench though. Come on you Shots! 😉

PS. Still 0-0

Gateshead have made eight changes, and Aldershot have rested Stokes and Tolaj.

Other than having the runnersup spot, very little, could make a difference to who they play though.

2nd gets to play the winner of 5th V 6th. 3rd gets to play the winner of 4th V 7th. If everything goes to form then 2nd gets an easier semi final but it could go the other way and 3rd gets to play the lowest ranked side in the semis.
