    • As it happens: Maidenhead United 2-0 AFC Totton

    As it happens: Maidenhead United vs AFC Totton

    40' GOAL Maidenhead! The hosts get the second goal their play has deserved through Josh Popoola! 

    36' The one-sided nature of this clash continues. The Stags simply haven't been able to deal with the direct running of Mitchell-Lawson and Dulson. Maidenhead deserve a second goal and if Totton get through to half time at 1-0, they should count that as a big win. 1-0 

    32' Maidenhead continue to dominate possession. They're first to everything at the minute, Mitchell-Lawson has just been on a driving run but his cross from the right went behind two or three attackers. He's just done the same thing from a similar position. Just not on the same wavelength but the football and the intent is good from the hosts. 1-0 

    Here's Umerah opening the scoring! 

    30' Half an hour in and Maidenhead have been much the better team. They've enjoyed themselves so far but haven't been as clinical as they'd have liked. They could have put this one to bed already. 1-0 

    Totton will do well to survive this period. They've been second best by some distance and should be further behind. Their keeper has just gone down. Looks like it must be tactical to give their coaching team some time to sort this out. 1-0 

    24' Ashley Clarke booked for scything down Mitchell-Lawson.  Maidenhead create another chance from Popoola's set piece, with someone putting the ball wide at the far post. Looked a decent opening 1-0 

    23' The Magpies continue to pressure Totton. Popoola has just jinked his way into the area and looked to have been fouled but the referee isn't convinced. 1-0 

    22' CHANCE! Liam Dulson is played through on goal and tries to take the ball around Gosney. The keeper does well to take the power off his low shot and Totton defenders get back to clear close to the goal line. That should have been Maidenhead's second there. 1-0 

    21' Maidenhead continue to create space on the flanks. Jayden Mitchell-Lawson has just whipped in a good cross that Gosney managed to hold under real pressure. 1-0 

    20' Totton are starting to work their way back into this game. They've had a dangerous shot well blocked by the Maidenhead defence and have put in a couple of crosses, but no chances of note for them, 1-0 

    That goal had been coming for the home side, and there will be more if they - and Totton - continue playing like this. It's been oneway traffic so far. 1-0 

    11' Goal Maidenhead! Josh Umerah scrambles the ball home! 1-0 

    Liam Dulson created the opportunity, turning well on the edge of the area and firing goalwards. His attempt was blocked and fell kindly for Umerah who managed to scramble his shot over Ryan Gosney. A defender got back to try and clear it off the line but the referee and linesman were in agreement the ball had crossed the goal line! 1-0 

    9' Maidenhead are still moving the ball really well between themselves. They create an opening for Matt Robinson from the edge of the area but his shot flies well over the bar. 0-0 


    5' Maidenhead have looked sharp in the opening five minutes. They've forced a couple of half opportunities and have generally been the first to every ball so far. Looking to respond to Saturday it seems. 0-0 

    2' Maidenhead force an early corner on the right. Josh Popoola swings it in and it reaches Remy Clerima in acres of space at the back post. He heads it back across goal but the ball falls for a blue shirt and Totton clear. 0-0 

    1' The Stags kick this game underway. They'll attack the Bell Street End in the first half and here is how they line up this evening

    The players are out on the field ahead of tonight's fixture. We're a few minutes away from kick off here. 

    Five changes for the Magpies this evening!

    Tonight's game kicks off at 7.45pm. 

    Team news for both sides will be announced shortly

    Magpies boss Ryan Peters admitted they'd been brought down to earth by Saturday's poor result and performance. He's looking for a response this evening, adding that he couldn't 'wait for the game'

    The Magpies certainly failed to find their A-Game at Hardenhuish Park on Saturday, where Harry Parson's first half penalty earned the home side an unlikely win. 

    Some pre-match reading for Magpies fans with the club having added Siju Odelusi to their squad ahead of tonight's match. 

    The midfielder has joined the club on loan from Sutton United until the end of the season having also played on loan for Dover Athletic this season

    Maidenhead United are back on home soil this evening and take on AFC Totton looking to bounce back from Saturday's disappointing 1-0 defeat at bottom club Chippenham Town. Having worked so hard to move into the play-off spots last week, Maidenhead relinquished their place in the very next game, with rivals taking advantage and knocking them back down to 10th. They now have a hectic run of fixtures which will surely make or break their play-off ambitions, with six of their eight games in March taking place at York Road.
