    As it happens: Maidenhead United vs AFC Totton

    Ryan Peters' black and white army chorus the Bell Street Enders! 

    Maidenhead heading back into the top six  as it stands. There are three minutes left here

    90' Totton have been improved in the second half and have created the odd dangerous moment, but Maidenhead have been the better side throughout this game. There will be five added minutes 2-0 

    88' Magpies readying their fourth substitution. Josh Popoola is replaced by Cameron Eubank. 

    87' Robinson wins a foul on the edge of his own box and relieves the pressure for the Magpies 2-0 

    83' Maidenhead have done well to take the sting out of this game a bit. They're winning fouls and running the clock down. 2-0 

    80' Josh Umerah is replaced by Alfie Pendlebury for the final 10 minutes plus stoppage time. 

    80' Dulson cuts into the box and onto his right and gets a deflected shot away that Gosney does well to save and push behind for a corner. That was a trademark run and shot from Dulson. 2-0 

    78' First spell of sustained pressure from the visitors. It's gone a bit scrappy for the hosts. '

    Totton swing over a corner and Christie Ward gets on the end of it I think but his effort goes narrowly wide. 2-0 

    77' Jayden Mitchell-Lawson is replaced by Dillon De Silva for the final minutes. 2-0 

    75' Maidenhead are still the better team. But they've got to that stage of tiredness where everything they were trying and pulling off in the first half isn't happening for them this half. 2-0 

    70' Substitute for Maidenhead. Miles Welch-Hayes is replaced by new signing Siju Odelusi 2-0 

    It just felt like Maidenhead needed some fresh impetus. 

    69' Another great turn, run and shot from Dulson. It flashes just wide at the near post. He was so direct there and had only one thing on his mind. 2-0 

    66' Having put so much energy into this game, Maidenhead will surely tire in the closing stages. Totton may look to take advantage of that. 2-0 

    65' CHANCE! Best opportunity of the night for Totton. The visitors win a flick on and it runs kindly for Malachi Linton. His low shot is well hit but Jordi Van Stappershoef gets down to make a smart save. That could be key tonight. 2-0 

    62' Free kick picks out Clerima who heads it on for De Havilland who felt he was held as he stretched to make contact with the ball. The referee isn't interested in giving a penalty once again. 2-0

    61' Just past the hour mark now. Totton are pressing a bit more to get back into this and when they do, Maidenhead are trying to hit them quickly on the break when they win the ball back. It's high risk from Totton but they have to throw caution to the wind here. 2-0 

    59' Will De Havilland tries his luck from distance. It was a decent effort but always rising over the bar 2-0 

    57' At the other end. Maidenhead break through Ragguette, he plays in Mitchell-Lawson who is through on goal but Gosney comes out to thwart him with the save. The ball falls kindly for Ragguette but he sweeps the follow up over the bar. 2-0 

    56' Totton force their first corner of the game and very nearly score from it. Christie Ward with an acrobatic effort that Van Stappershoef did really well to save! 2-0 

    54' Dulson tees up Robinson for a shot from the edge of the box but he gets underneath it and it flies out of the ground 2-0 

    The Bell Street Enders are in fine voice this evening. There are very few nerves. But it was the same against Farnborough a few weeks ago and Maidenhead managed to drop points in that one. 2-0 

    49' Popoola and Dulson combine well once again with Gosney saving brilliantly from Dulson to force a corner. 2-0 

    It's worth noting that as it stands, Maidenhead are moving back into the play-off places and up to sixth! 

    48' Dulson weaves his way into the box - too easily from a Totton perspective - and forces another corner kick. 2-0 

    45' We're back underway and Maidenhead are back on the offensive. Umerah with a shot inside the box that was blocked and then cleared by Totton. 2-0 

    Half time Maidenhead United 2, AFC Totton 0

    Dominant display so far from the Magpies! 

    45' Corner on the left for Maidenhead. Dulson's dangerous cross is swept behind. It comes to nothing and Totton are able to break. They overhit a pass though and it runs out of play. The visitors have been as poor as any side I've seen Maidenhead play so far this season 2-0 

    41' My feeling is that Totton want the half time whistle very badly. Maidenhead should go for the kill before the break 2-0 

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

    Dulson feeds a lovely ball through to Popoola, who checks back inside his man onto his left and fires high past Gosney into the corner of the net. A lovely goal and the scoreline now more reflective of Maidenhead's dominance. 2-0 

    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.
