Kevin Dillon, the Aldershot Manager, has set a target of four points from their last three games to earn a place in the play offs. "Who would have thought that Aldershot would be in that position?" he said after Ben Harding equalised in response to Clayton Donaldson's first minute effort.
The draw guaranteed Crewe's survival, but Dario Gradi said "we didn't play well."

Crewe Manager Dario Gradi urged his side to finish the campaign on a high note after they secured their League status for another season.
Clayton Donaldson put the Railwaymen in front and although Ben Harding levelled for Aldershot before half time, the point was enough to ensure Crewe were safe. But Dario warned his players not to put their feet up yet.

Crewe wasted good second-half chances to seal a win at promotion-chasing Aldershot before settling for a point.
Clayton Donaldson got the Alex off to a super start with a goal in the first-minute. But they were hit by the loss of centre halves Mat Mitchel-King and Harry Worley. And there was an air of vulnerability at the back when Shots midfielder curled an equaliser straight in from a corner just before the interval.
