Scott calls for Shots expression
Aldershot Town manager Andy Scott told 大象传媒 Surrey:
"The lads gave everything that they could and we got a fantastic result, [though] it could have been more convincing. For coming into my first game I'm absolutely delighted.
"It's been a tough week on the players mentally as well as physically and with three games this week and three terrific results the credit has got to go to them.
"I want them to go and express themselves and do what they can and give them more freedom."
