Moors shine in last game of the season following fast four-goal start. The Moors could not have asked for a better start as Jacob Wakeling reopened his account, finding far too much space on the edge of the Yeovil box before blasting past the keeper with his left foot. Scott High doubled the lead just 12 minutes in, doing brilliantly to power through the Yeovil defence before firing hard and high, leaving the goalkeeper with little chance. Wakeling grabbed his second and the Moors’ third after 15 minutes, dancing past half challenges from Yeovil before cutting inside from the right and driving low into the bottom corner. There were no major chances for the next 15 minutes until Yeovil carved out their first real opportunity, which Works calmly converted around Laurie Walker. The Moors almost responded instantly, working the ball superbly down the right before a floated cross was met by Wakeling, who could only head narrowly wide. A deserved fourth arrived on 34 minutes as a gorgeous through ball into Joe Sbarra was met with an equally sweet first-time finish into the side netting. The second half began with far less venom, with the Moors content to manage the game and see out a comfortable three-goal advantage. Yeovil created the better chances after the break, forcing Will O’Sullivan into a number of excellent saves on his debut to keep his clean sheet intact. The pick of the bunch came in the 67th minute, when he somehow denied Works’ powerful low effort. The Moors had the final big chance of the game in the 79th minute, but Callum McFarlane was denied from close range by a strong save low down from Jed Ward. Match report by Maddie P

We have deliberately taken our time to consider and reflect on the events on Saturday and the dismissal of Conor Wilkinson. The club is aware of the serious allegation that has been made against Conor, who denies making a racist remark during the fixture with Boston United. The club is actively assisting the FA with its ongoing investigation into the incident, as well as supporting Conor during what is a difficult time for him both professionally and personally. Moors is a committed community club and, in the interim we wish to reiterate that the club, (including all of its players, staff and officials) has always been, and remains, totally opposed to all forms of racism. We will await the response of the relevant governing bodies before making any further comment.

Solihull will be aiming to end their three-game winless streak when they face Yeovil Town in this upcoming National League fixture. Solihull currently sit 15th in the National League whilst Yeovil sit two points below them in 16th place and have only won one of their last five games. Andy’s Bet Club’s football analyst will break down Yeovil’s recent clash with York to see what the statistics suggest about how they might set up against Solihull.

Solihull Moors can confirm that Kian Ryley has been recalled from his loan spell at Bromsgrove Sporting. The young midfielder returns to Damson Park after gaining valuable first-team experience during his time with Bromsgrove Sporting. Everyone at Solihull Moors would like to thank Bromsgrove Sporting for their support during Kian’s loan spell and welcome him back to the Club.

Moors undone after red card as Boston capitalise in the second half following temporary suspension. Both sides appeared evenly matched in the opening half, though Boston carved out the better opportunities, going closest when they struck the side netting after 23 minutes. The Moors struggled to turn promising moments into clear chances, with Jamey Osborne’s mazy runs ultimately leading to little end product. The half was frequently disrupted by fouls and time-wasting from the visitors, preventing either side from building sustained momentum. With just minutes remaining before the break, Joe Sbarra came closest to breaking the deadlock after Osborne was played in down the left, but he was unable to get on the end of the delivery. A triple change at half-time saw Conor Wilkinson, Jacob Wakeling and Daniel Cox introduced in place of Ben Worman, Emmanuel Sonupe and Callum McFarlane. The substitutions had an immediate impact, injecting energy into the Moors’ attacking play, with Wakeling going close ten minutes after the restart, forcing the Boston goalkeeper into a low, stretched save from distance. However, the game took a dramatic turn when Wilkinson was shown a straight red card following an exchange with the referee, leading to a 15-minute suspension as the situation was dealt with in the tunnel. Boston capitalised shortly after the restart, taking the lead when Lewis Baines inadvertently turned a cross into his own net while attempting to prevent Hazel from converting. The visitors doubled their advantage soon after, with Hazel doing well to hold up the ball inside the box before swivelling and firing into the top corner. Boston thought they had added a third in the 86th minute when Maguire found the net, but the effort was ruled out for offside after the celebrations. It only delayed the inevitable, as Maguire struck again minutes later to seal the result and put the game beyond doubt.

Solihull Moors can confirm that defender Alex Whitmore will leave the Club at the end of the season. Tomorrow’s fixture at Damson Park will mark Whitmore’s final home game for the Club, bringing to an end a spell in which he has become a hugely important figure both on and off the pitch. An ever-present throughout this season, Whitmore has played a key role in the heart of the Moors' defence and has been a consistent presence in the side. His leadership, commitment and professionalism have made him a popular figure amongst teammates, staff and supporters alike. Off the pitch, Whitmore’s character and personality have been just as important as his performances and his presence around the Club will be a huge loss when he departs at the end of the campaign. Speaking on his departure, Whitmore said: "Leaving is not a decision I have taken lightly. This football club has become a real home for me and my family and I have nothing but positive memories from my time here. The people associated with this place, the fans, the staff and the players are what has made my time so enjoyable. I’d go as far as to say that this football Club is the most at home I've felt during my career. I would like to say a special thank you to the Chairman, who has looked after me at every opportunity and also to the gaffer, for the very same reason. Two gentlemen of the highest order and Solihull fans should be proud that they have them at this football Club. I will be watching on as a huge fan in the future and I wish nothing but the very best for the Club and everyone attached to it." Chris Millington, First Team Manager, said: "Whits has been impeccable in his approach since Coops and I joined the Club. We identified early on his importance to the team and the culture of the Club and moved to try and secure his signature with a new deal. It was an incredibly difficult decision for Whits as his personal circumstances dictate he could not sign. He has a great affinity for everyone at the Club and we all have the same affection for him and the place won’t be the same without him. He will be sorely missed but we send him with our very best wishes and he is welcome back at Damson Park any time." Chairman, Darryl Eales, added: "Whits has been a colossal figure at the Club over the past 3 seasons. He is an exemplary professional, both on and off the pitch and a true leader of men.  It’s been a pleasure to get to know him and Kelly and we wish them every success in the future, both in football and in life." Everyone at Solihull Moors would like to place on record their thanks to Alex for everything he has given to the Club and wish him all the very best for the future. Supporters will have the opportunity to show their appreciation to Whits during tomorrow’s final home game at Damson Park.

It took until the fourth minute of stoppage time for Wealdstone to find an equaliser, but it was the least they deserved when you look at the game's statistics. Wealdstone had 13 shots in the game, with 4 of those being on target, and they created an xG (expected goals) of 1.68. In comparison, Boston had just six shots with three on target, and they posted 1.35 xG. Wealdstone also dominated the ball with 69% possession. This dominance was largely down to the styles and passing accuracy of both sides. Wealdstone had a passing accuracy of 84% and a long pass percentage of 10%, whereas Boston had a passing accuracy of 71% and were a lot more direct with a long pass percentage of 25%. The pressing stats show that Wealdstone were a lot more intense with their pressure off the ball. The home side had a PPDA (Passes per Defensive Action) of 9.3, whilst the visitors were more passive at 12.0. Final Thoughts Solihull will likely dominate the ball in this upcoming game, with them having a higher average ball possession of 48.3% compared to Boston’s 43.6%. Solihull can expect Boston to be fairly direct in possession, as the visitors have the 3rd-most long passes in the league this season, averaging 53.8 long passes per game. Two players that Solihull will need to keep an eye on are Lenell John-Lewis and Matty Carson. John-Lewis is Boston’s top scorer this season, with the striker scoring 11 times, whilst Carson has been effective from left back, assisting on six occasions.
