Has there been any more news on new strikers ? Need at least two more

Lamin Colley was one of the trialists last night

Lamin Colley was one of the trialists last night
Was he any good the last time he played for us ??

Beef, are you being serious ?? Young chubby has had enough for one day mate lol
-
Did he take the penalty ?? Lol

Yes he is serious I am afraid, he has a brother called Melon, sorry it's a poor joke, and it's been done before lol
-
Did he take the penalty ?? Lol
Was that the only goal he scored for us before.

Yes Im Serious. It was mentioned on the social media page, with the word 'book' and 'face' in it.... that needs its own thread. 😉

Has anyone got a phone number for Waide Fairhurst?

Colley snatched the ball and demanded he took the penalty, it was 1st game of Season two years ago v I think Stalybridge. His penalty was so poor that the keeper laid on the grass waiting for the ball to arrive. We eventually lost 1- 0. Strange how I can remember this yet forget why I go into the kitchen .....

Waide Fairhurst.
"An addiction to take aways"
That could be a great title for his autobiography

Fairhurst was on the bench for Sheffield FC on Saturday in their friendly against Chesterfield, Adam Chapman started.
-
Ross Hannah has joined Gainsborough. That's a quality piece of recruitment. Easily good enough for NLN - should score hat fulls in Northern Prem with the right service
Can they challenge Basford and South Shields who should both be right up there in a tough division
-
Great news Grant Roberts and Andre Johnson have got themselves a deal.
Again well done to the board for backing this.
-
I reckon that will be it for now since Roberts and Johnson have signed. At this level relatively easy to add a couple of loanees and shed a couple (on loan) as the season progresses. Bit disappointed Wade Fairhurst never made the cut mind.

I think we will see 1 or 2 more yet. RB/CB Still needs addressing as one injury could leave us short there

Looking at parliament live at the moment , I think it will be difficult to spot my MP Matt Warman , he will have done more Brexit twist and turns today he may have disappeared up his own ar*ehole .

What has that got to do with BUFC signings?
-
2 more quality signings, play offs as a minimum this year. If we can be lucky with injuries I think we could be top 3 contenders.
Can’t believe it, I’m feeling optimistic for a change, they might take a month or so to gel but we should have a competitive out fit.
Now for the fans to do their bit and help the team build confidence not slagging off the odd bad pass or mistake.

I'll answer that on the Brexit thread mate!!
In terms of signings, I'm so pleased Grant Roberts made the cut. What an attitude that guy must have to force his way back into the team after such a long - and presumably demoralising - layoff. Really looking forward to the season now.

I give it 18 minutes v Guiseley before someone shouts "bloody rubbish!!!".

I have a Lincoln City fan as a friend ( I do not make an habit of it ) :police:. He is backing us to win the league, he said our signings are Conference National level. Still 20/1 in places.

The problem we still have is that while our first XI is quality, we won't have the squad depth some of the richer clubs enjoy. If we can avoid injuries and suspensions though... well..... you never know.

You could be right Pete. But I am a glass half full chap. So much so I have bought a season ticket, for the first time in years. I hope I am not trying to sell it on Ebay after half a dozen matches ;)

We'll see! I think the spine of the team is certainly National League quality but obviously there are so many variables at play.... either way, I'm extremely excited for the season to start. Mind you, I thought the same last year too - this is the random nature of football, and why we keep coming back year after year.
Roll on August 4!

I see this Alfreton Town supporter isn't too impressed by our signing of Andre Johnson. He put these two posts on the 'onefootballforum,':-
POST 1 WHEN HEARING HE WAS ON TRIAL WITH US
"I see Andre Johnson is on trial at Boston. He was dire for us. Scored on the opening day and other than a finish literally off his backside in a county cup game he did nothing."
POST 2 WHEN HEARING HE HAD SIGNED FOR US
"Boston have signed Andre Johnson and Grant Roberts. Don't know about Roberts but Johnson is shit. May have to reevaluate my stab in the dark at Boston as champs."
I only saw Johnson last Saturday in the first half v Chesterfield and its probably much too soon to form a solid opinion of the guy. Craig no doubt, though, has seen something in him that he feels will be useful to us and he'll probably start the season behind Marriott and Margetts in the pecking order anyway. Wouldn't it be nice though that, should he play in either game against Alfreton, he scores a hat-trick??

I got 25/1 two weeks ago so had a fiver each way, first time I have backed us for many a year. The squad that is coming together now should be up there challenging for the top six spots and potentially we could surprise many with a serious promotion push.

I think you also have to consider that he was in a very poor team at Alferton last season.
But time will tell if it has been the right decision.

Yeah, and we don't know if he liked the Alfreton manager, or whether he was being played in his preferred role/position, or if the way Alfreton were set up was really suited to his skills... time will tell how well he fits into this Boston team, but Elliott's no mug.

Pete. Big money is being paid out - make no mistake
I reckon the budget will be top half. 600 a week is a lot of money for this level which other posters suggest the strikers are on. Add Arnold to this as he's bound to be on top money too
There will also be a few on 2 or 3 hundred but I think the wage bill will be above average

It may be above average but the top teams in the division will be spending waaaaay more than us, so clearly we'll be competing for promotion as underdogs. That said, it's not impossible to bridge that gap - you just need a brilliant manager (got one of those), decent scouting (sorted)... and a bit of luck along the way (up to the fickle whims of the gods).

had a small wager today at a tenner e/w at 16/1 to finish in the top three. first time in many years i have felt reasonbly confident enough to put some money on us . hope i havent jinxed us. ::)

So does anyone know what's going on with John Mcoombe, wasn't in the squad for the Halifax game and also wasn't in the team photo or even mentioned as an absentee.

Can we have more clarification regarding John McCombe? I see his photo has been updated along with the other players on the team section of the O/S. Also he has sponsorship for next season according to latest article on O/S.
-
;OXO said he had gone .

;OXO said he had gone .
I can't say who i asked, as I don't want to drop them in it, but I asked somebody directly employed by the club face to face about this matter to be told "he was told not to travel to the last friendly." So from that I deduce that he is no longer needed.

I guess we will see on Saturday if he is there, who knows what goes on behind closed doors.
But one thing is for sure he has been very average and below par.
Perhaps he is carrying a knock or some kind of injury.
-
He is listed as having shirt sponsorship in an up to date article on the website...
-
Presumably because he's still under contract.

If he signed a year long deal presumably he'd have to mutually agree to terminate - regardless of how much Elliott wants rid of him.

Sorry just read the post properly, they must be hard up to sign him.

Official club source on line saying we are close to resigning Adam Chapman. He would be able to play tomorrow if he can get his personal terms sorted by 5pm

Saw him in Specsavers with a pair of goalkeeping gloves on; guess whoelse I bumped into?....Everybody!!

Listened to Craig Elliott on Friday football. McCombe is still part of the squad but there has been a conversation between him and Elliott. Also couldn't get signings done in time for tomorrow but expects them to be done on Monday.

Been told that Garner might be signing for us?

Nice try Mark, WUM comes to mind :D

He will be playing with players that have more experience than any at Boston .

Are we getting cover in? Only having 1 keeper could be an issue with injuries etc, even if we don’t have 1 on the bench (which we haven’t so far this season)

Well folks 2 (yes that was a two) games in, won 1 & lost one. However the unavoidable smell of mild discontent is already wafting towards the seats of keyboard warriors west of the Wash. Primed and ready in order to insult from a safe hooded distance. Will it be Arnold next to fill Adam Chapman's boots?? Or have U already got one of Craig's other new signings primed & ready to mock & insult?? I can't see it being too long. Another couple of defeats/draws and all merry hell will break loose on here....it will be El Chappo gate with bells on!! Come on Patterites at least give these new signings 5 or 6 games to settle in b4 commencing your hostilities.

Now now champs let's not wake everyone up.
I don't think we will get to the Chapman point with this manager.
As I said before in my other post's, Nathan Arnold had so far not performed to his own very high standards, but he will come very good, he is not getting forward enough because the midfield is not supplying enough qaulity ball to him.
I also feel that he is also trying to support Jackson,as he his new at this level and needs to be nurtured and mentored a little.
Everything will come good, but not until the 10 game mark, this team is new and needs to gel.
There is no mates or favourites in this team.
-
Well said youngchubs, good constructive observations. Of course, it is far too early to be making sweeping statements about our progress so far, let's all be patient and give it till at least 10 games. In Craig we trust. UTP

Yes agree Chubbs, I could be wrong (again) I'm just saying the same as u, look how close we got to play offs last season with mostly AM signings. Adam really tried his best for us, Hemmings, Clifton, Keane did well + bringing Jay back & he gave Vinno full debut at Halifax. Still think we will be there come April. Salford lost a good few last year & weren't even ok owt special. Leamington on their patch Tuesday night have scalped a few. Long way 2 go. YABA

Good signing! Bit more experience into the squad and likely will still be a good player at this level.
Just over 3 years ago was signed by Murray for Mansfield.
