FC went into the game minus Jonny Montgomery who was suffering from a neck injury and Jack Brooker who was away. Dave Carty replaced Monty in the middle of the park and new signing Ashley Jenkins replaced Brooker in goal.
Unlike the first two games of this season it was Aylesbury that were quickest out of the blocks.The first chance came after only a couple of minutes when a long pass from Ben Stevens found James Faulkner just outside the area but the big forward was bought done for a free kick. It was Faulkner himself who took it but the ball went straight into the hands of Paul McCarthy. On the next attack Lee Stobbs and Kieron Turner combined well only for a Turner shot to well saved at the second attempt by the Uxbridge keeper as Faulkner was about to pounce on any spill.
Uxbridge though did have the odd foray into the home sides half and on one of those raids a long ball over the top was met by Anthony Thomas but he was bought down by Ben Stevens, The resulting free kick was well saved by debutant FC keeper Ashley Jenkins.
FC should have taken the lead on 16 minutes, a ball out of defence by Jordan Jenkins found Aaron Couch, who took a good first touch and fired low from all of 30 yards, but the luck was yet again against Aylesbury as the ball hit the inside of the post with the keeper well beaten and ran to safety. Turner and Stobbs were now combing well and giving the away defence all sorts of problems but still the lively pair couldn't make Uxbridge pay. Then on 29 minutes the inevitable happened, Uxbridge had a couple of shots which were half cleared by the defence but the ball fell to Mitchell Wiseman who rifled the ball home from outside the area with Jenkins well beaten.
After being on the end of two dubious penalties in the previous two games Aylesbury were denied a stone wall one just before the break when Kieron Turner was felled in the box, but the Referee just signalled for him to get up. Then just as the whistle was about to blow for the break a corner was partially cleared by McCarthy & the bar but only to the head of Mark Lambert who made no mistake for the equaliser.
Again Aylesbury should have taken the lead six minutes into the second half when a corner from Stobbs found James Faulkner in the box but his header from a few yards out somehow evaded the goal. Were FC going again to rue all the missed opportunities? It seemed not on 62 minutes when an excellent driving run by left back JJ Lofthouse-Smith was halted as he was up ended in the box and this time the referee had no hesitation in pointing straight to the spot. Mark Lambert converted and that should have been that but with fifteen mutes to go a free kick from inside the Uxbridge area found substitute Matt Woods with just Victor Ocansey to beat, the defender appeared to have done well to dispossess Woods but then tried to dribble the ball out of the area, was robbed off the ball by Woods, who struck the ball past Jenkins who had no chance 2-2.
There were no further chances and the game petered out. Another good performance by Aylesbury with the odd mistake and not taking the chances being created costing the team points again.
