Aitchison had a big say in the 1-0 wins over Cambridge and Colchester but last night it was all about the team performance as his loan club maintained their impressive early season form.
The 19-year-old striker was substituted five minutes after James Morton was handed a second yellow card.
The point saw FGR slip back to fifth place in League Two but level on points with third placed Cheltenham, on Saturday Aitchison will be looking to get among the goals when his new side host bottom placed Stevenage.
