Aldershot News reporter Jon Couch has reported that Shots manager Dean Holdsworth believes that he is going through the toughest spell of his managerial career.

Under-fire Dean Holdsworth has urged the players, staff and fans of Aldershot Town to stick together after a woeful display and a fourth straight defeat led to a chorus of boos echoing round the EBB Stadium on Saturday.

Chris Atkinson's strike 15 minutes from time ensured the Shots slumped to a fourth defeat from their opening six matches at home so far this season in League Two, with Holdsworth's men only having found the net twice in that time.
