With a couple of what look like shoe in games for a few of our rivals tonight, we surely have to win just to keep in touch with them, but if we do confidence, with four matches left to play will be huge and just at the right time as well.When considering some of the matches our play off rivals have left, all four of us feel we will be favourites to clinch one of the play off spots if we do, which we further feel, we can confirm by getting eight or nine points from our last four games. Huge, huge, huge is tonight's match. Can't make it unfortunately as it's just too far for one of us at our age to drive, but we are meeting down the pub to watch Chelsea whilst simultaneously taking it in turn to roll down the next twitter message to see how we progress. How sad are we?
Unless of course it's on the radio, does anyone have any confirmation of this possibility? Good luck to the lads tonight, three points and we can definitely do the play offs.
-
I think over the last 2 games maybe by accident DG as seen the weak links I am sure we will be fine :) ;)
-
I think tonight will bring out the character in our players. One thing is for sure we are going to have a rough ride. I hope the referee does not bottle it tonight.
If we win tonight, it will surely be a springboard for a play off place. Out of all our remaining games I think this is the toughest.
And that includes our match against NF.
good luck lads :D

2 change - Ross for Konadu and SWD for McGhee
Big game, 3 points needed.
We looks more solid with 442. With Newsh injured time for SWD to show us his best form.

Bugger! 1-0 down inside first 2 minutes!

What in Gods name is the manager playing at changing the team from the one who gave the display of the season on Saturday?
-
Agree OXO! Ross is not good enough!

Hey Flashscore looks good.. BUFC mgr not quite as (as I have said )

Guiseley

Unfortunately this is the result of 3 tough away games in a week culminating in such a long journey to Wales, especially when we've got a few injuries which mean we haven't really been able to play our strongest team (ie with Newsh and Conor) or rotate the squad and rest players the way we would have liked. Konadu probably isn't fully match fit at this level yet (+ travels from London I think), so may not be fit enough to start 2 games in 4 days
3 away games in a week, 2 of them long midweek trips, often ends in a lacklustre performance in the last one.
Game's not over yet, but it looks like we'll need Guiseley to beat Hednesford at the weekend, then cross everything we can win our last 4 and Hednesford slip up
-
I think our promo hopes may soon falter
:'(
-
Add into that since March 8th we have had 5 away games 3 of them being are longest trips, disappointing though it is maybe it's not such a surprise :(. But come on guys there's still time.
-
We would of took 4 points from the 3 very tough away matches. Have to say it looks like we are just gonna miss out on the play offs this season but let's not kid ourselves of the great job DG and the players have done this season. We have a lot as a club to look forward to next season with the plan for new ground progressing nicely and a team we can be proud of.

Who are we to question why the manager has changed the team. He is the man in charge and he knows best. There could be any number of reasons why he has made changes. Let's stick together on this and not castigate him.

Who scored?

OG

Castigate, I read it as Castrate. Thought that would be a bit extreme.

2-2 now let's win it

Down 3 - 2 now

I stand corrected! The character in this team is incredible. Still think we will just miss out on play offs, but no one can complain about the commitment from the team this year
-
As I said in an earlier post, this is the toughest match in my opinion. We got something from it, now with a bit of luck we may sneek in. well done lads.
-
Still predict 6th
-
If we do miss out on the playoffs it will be down to our rancid away form for a large portion of the season. We've shown some real grit in the last couple of games but it might have come too late.

Ok, your right DL but after Saturday and being 2-0 down at the time I posted it just seemed to me that if all were fit it should have been the same eleven. Still what a great effort these boys are the real deal and all is not lost. Agree lets keep right behind them.
-
4 away from home without defeat and a couple of big comebacks in there.
Going to be a big ask but there is still a couple of games for other teams around us that could cost them a few points.
We need to get our results
This play off fight is getting harder by the game and if we get 3pts on sat, both guisely and hednesford cant get 3pts,
Also not so important Alty play NFU but if Guisely and hednesford draw, NFU do us a favour and beat alty and we win it brings 3rd/4th and 5th back into it and we only be a point of them.
-
I am assuming junior and particularly McGhee must have been carrying knocks. There is no way Ross or SWD would have played unless others were injured. To be 2-0 down and I think I am right here not bring on the pace of McGhee staggers me a bit.
But you can't knock the never say die attitude of the lads though can you. Forget missed penalties or games we should have won that we didn't not going to Workington on the friday could prove to be what costs us especially after seeing tonights drubbing. Rather think we will need at least ten points. It can be done but its really squeaky bum time now isn't it.
Damn it but well done to all the boys for at least showing real grit for the umpteenth time
-
Hey Flashscore looks good.. BUFC mgr not quite as (as I have said )
I think the manager is fire-proof at the moment ft .
What chairman would sack a manager who is producing results and providing the best entertainment at York St for years ?
-
Not so bad in the end Oxo ! See Telford got done at Oxford City tonight as well although no impact on us really.
DL
-
I sincerely hope that I am wrong, but two points dropped tonight and our last realistic chance of the play-offs has gone. It will need a massive sudden collapse by Guiseley or Hednesford to give us a foot in the door.
-

Don't they still play each other? Believe People, Believe
-
Well , thats twice I've called DG into question ..and they've come back for a draw .
But it's not enough .. is it ?
Maybe I look too much to Sir Alex ..who usually snatched victory from defeat .

Possibly.....but Sir Alex wasn't using part time and loan players, who had a horrible long journey after work in the morning for some.
We are still in the mix after three away games in 8 days

Our best hope is for Guiseley to stuff Hednesford away on Sat. Hednesford is the one we could catch, Guiseley have 5 games left and 3 of them are at home.

That was my thought and has always been my thought. Guiseley look more than likely to do it too. Hednesford had a wobble a month or so ago, so we have to hope they do the same again.
-
Yup, lets all become Guisely fans, we certainly need their help at the weekend
-
Sounds like Zak Mills had a decent game 8)
Great performance by the whole side to grind out a point from a difficult game.
-
What I don't seem to understand about this team is that, we have got our best defence for years and both centre backs could play higher but yet we seem to ship in a lot of goals! It's lucky we have had two strikers this season scoring 20+!
Anyway we have all got to believe and be behind the team, it is defiantly achievable and like people have said hednesford are the team to catch! They haven't got the best of games left either

Some thoughts on the game and the trip to Colwyn Bay
-
Having once lived and worked in Crewe for more than a decade .. it's close to Manc airport and Chester ; Cheshire is a pretty prosperous northern county .
Also it has the skilled wages from the Bentley / BMW / RR car factory .
I'm sure Boston fans will have to trek through for many a year yet .. as about half the away games seem to be played beyond Stoke/Crewe .
-
But as a town, Crewe barely registers on the scale.
Either way, we need to build a new train line- I never see us win when I go via Crewe
-
Agreed
The problem is Stoke .. no one likes it , not even the locals .
The HS2 node being built at Crewe should seal its fate as a permanent backwater ..though a populous one at 400,000 souls and 18 miles wide Blythe Bridge - Kidsgrove .
But it does boast a Premiership soccer team !
fT
-
My daughter lives in Cheshire and we debate where the North begins. I like to point out that Crewe is south of Skegness, yet people in Yorkshire don't recognise Grimsby as north.
-
Politically the North begins in a line from Wash to possibly Worcester
Thus Boston constituency is the first eastern one in the North .
In the 1970s I used to reside 5 miles south of Leicester .. and looked to Gartree Max Security Prison by the A6 as the start of the South !
Must have been all those bright 24/7 lights giving the premise of permanent Southern summery time ..
-
Agree about Miller, Newsh, Garner and Pidge; hopefully whatever league we are in next season they are all with us. The problem as been not having a regular 'keeper to build an understanding with the defence - three lads having the no1 shirt is two too many for a top side at any level! Losing Marrs was a big loss he would have made a real difference playing the last 20 odd games at right back. Sansara wasn't as good as Steer who gets better with each game. Agnew has been brilliant in an otherwise ever changing midfield - maybe we could try and get him again until at least Christmas again next season? A shame Kyle Dixon didn't stay on for the rest of the season as he would have helped protect the back four, wouldn't, if he is released end of season we should snap him up, unlikely but stranger things have happened in the tight financial world of football good promising players are often not given enough time at football league clubs. Hopefully McGhee is kept on he is a top squad player.
