We're off. Harry Maguire in the crowd watching Joe. Good attack by Atkinson but no one on the end of his cross. Ilkeston going up the slope first half. 5 minutes gone

Matchman · 04/4/2017 5:57 PM

Ilkeston doing ok so far. Buxton substitution after only 9 minutes.

Matchman · 04/4/2017 6:01 PM

Good run by Tyrell but he's eventually tackled. Baker clears off line. Buxton header goes too high as they start to get on top. 15 minutes 0-0.

Matchman · 04/4/2017 6:08 PM

Hannis collects high cross. Ilkeston are being pinned back First corner to Buxton. Ilkeston clear it. 20 minutes

Not much from Ilkeston going forward. Dexter and Ben combine but attack ends on edge of area. Another corner to Buxton. Well defended. 25 minutes still no score.

Matchman · 04/4/2017 6:18 PM

Baker heads out for a corner. Ilkeston are winning the headers when defending corners. 30 minutes

Matchman · 04/4/2017 6:26 PM

Cool defending by Thornberry. Maguire tries a shot from halfway line but it's weak and wide. Buxton are piling up corners. Leverock heads away, Bucks continue to dominate but without looking like scoring. Bucks keeper is having an easy time. 5 minutes to half time 0-0.

Good spell for Ilkeston just before half time causes Buxton defence problems. one minute added time.

Matchman · 04/4/2017 6:33 PM

Half time 0-0.

Matchman · 04/4/2017 6:51 PM

HT substitution Dwyer on for Atkinson.

Matchman · 04/4/2017 6:55 PM

Good chance for Bucks forward after he controls ball in area but he puts his shot wide. Best chance so far.

Matchman · 04/4/2017 7:01 PM

Bucks keeper has difficulty clearing a back pass . Threatening break by Ilkeston but it comes to nothing in the end. Buxton on top but getting frustrated at being kept out . 55 minutes still 0-0.

Matchman · 04/4/2017 7:05 PM

Free kick to Buxton in good position. Hannis saves. Hour gone.

Matchman · 04/4/2017 7:06 PM

Goal Buxton on 63 minutes

Matchman · 04/4/2017 7:11 PM

Not sure if there was a deflection as the scorer suddenly appeared unmarked with an easy opportunity.

Matchman · 04/4/2017 7:18 PM

Gate 209. Game is more open now. Dwyer fouled on the break. 70minutes 0-1

Matchman · 04/4/2017 7:24 PM

No real threat from Ilkeston. Buxton are quicker to the ball. 10 minutes left

Matchman · 04/4/2017 7:29 PM

Bucks keeper looks vulnerable. Connor Paine replaced by Reece Horne. Gordon puts Morris through but his shot is just too high. 85 minutes

Matchman · 04/4/2017 7:31 PM

Ilkeston are making a late effort to salvage something.

Matchman · 04/4/2017 7:38 PM

Buxton are now wasting time in the final moments. Buxton breakaway and it's 2-0. Its finished 0-2.

In an unexciting game of very few chances Buxton boosted their playoff chances. Ilkeston managed only a couple of shots during the whole game and the Bucks didn't do much better. Only in the final five minutes did Ilkeston push forward in numbers and then they were caught out by a Buxton breakaway from which they scored with the last kick of the match.

I was very surprised by the lack of numbers in the home support considering they are now in the play off places! A dull game and Ilkeston did not look like a team nearly twenty places below Buxton. It was however the same problem of a lack of fire power upfront with the Buxton keeper not having to make a save the whole game. Their first goal was due to ah uncharacteristic mistake by Matt Baker and the second was in the last seconds of the game when Ilkeston were finally pushing up for an equaliser. You can tell how unexciting the game was by the fact that it was first time I really noticed what a pronounced slope down to one corner the pitch there is at Silverlands! Also it was coldest end of season game I think I have ever attended which is due to either old age or the altitude!
