- Again manager Eric Gilchrist was
hampered in his team selection by the number of players in the squad who
are currently injured. Nevertheless the team he put out did well in the
end. Albion started brightly enough but had difficulty stringing passes
together. Shepshed on the other hand looked sharp and confident at the
start and passed the ball around with ease. Albion weathered the early
pressure and began to play some reasonable football, but just 5 minutes
before the interval a defensive slip-up allowed Shepshed to take the
lead.
- Albion came out after the interval in a
determined mood and the introduction of Rob Edwards to replace Angus
Mackay just 10 minutes into the half gave even more impetus to the
fight-back. Albion began to create chances and an superb long-range
strike from Michael Senior brought them back on level terms. Albion
continued to press forward and brought on Michael Reynolds to replace
Gareth Naylor for the last 10 minutes. They forced a succession of
corners in the dying minutes and Shepshed's goalkeeper Simon Baldwin had
to be at his best to prevent Albion taking all three points.
