FGR manager said he might rest Hughes tonight to keep him fresh for Monday. Hughes starts.....
Interesting that all 3 summer signings from Salisbury have started every game. Did we get the best 2?
While Pennock and his players are focused on the task in hand at the Recreation Ground, excitement is already building among supporters ahead of Monday’s derby blockbuster against Bristol Rovers at the New Lawn.

“There might be some changes at Aldershot with the game on Monday to come,” he said.
“We’ve got a 38-year-old centre forward (Hughes) who can’t play as many games as the others, although he has just managed three in a week and scored twice.
“I asked him how his legs were feeling and he told me they were as fresh as a daisy. That’s when I knew he was lying to me!
