Thought he was quite poor in the first half of the season and was surprised he wasn't shipped out like a lot of Cox's signings. He did improve later on but still not in Shiels class. Was also surprised he won so many awards at the end of the season but having done so just like at Hereford and after saying he would like to stay here next season, he moves on. Although he comes from that area I'm not sure he is on very good terms with the word loyalty. No great loss. We can do better.

Was really sad to see Shiels, Platt, Burrow and Wright go. All very good performers and difficult to replace. Will be even more difficult to see them playing for other teams but I am sure they will be given a warm welcome back. Good luck to them all.

Very sad to see Shiels and Platt go. Both have been terrific in their time with us. They must have known they were leaving last Saturday but both gave their very best in their final game - true professionals to the end. No doubt they will have a number of offers in the coming days. Good luck to both and it will be good to see them return as legends in the future.

Great news about Burrow. Was not happy when he came back here after leaving York but He has more than justified himself since then. Though not the quickest he is an excellent target man and always gives 100%. Would be one of the first on the team sheet for me.

So we end York's 12 game unbeaten run and now Brackley's 18 match unbeaten run, both away from home. The Brackley manager was unhappy with the ref claiming a foul in the build up to United's goal as well as other decisions. I am guessing the refs in the previous 18 games were OK.

My initial post was obviously tongue in cheek but I don't think he will be coming back as he probably still sees his future in the Football League, Plus I don't think David Newton would want to waste 15 years of restoring our reputation and building the future to throw it away on him.

The B-Ark / Evans gone!
« on: January 09, 2022, 04:52:27 PM »
Gillingham have today announced that they have terminated the contract of Steve Evans by mutual consent. Steve said that if you look at the league table while standing on your head he leaves them a healthy 3rd in the table, Meanwhile David Newton has announced that the deadline for applications for the Boston manager's job has been brought forward to yesterday.

Well put, Oxo. You've captured everything I have been thinking. My only disagreement was I didn't think the officials were poor but our team certainly was.
I have been to 3 away games this season Fylde, Leamington and Chester. We lost them all and didn't score in any of them. At Fylde we played as a team, were certainly their equal and deserved a draw. The other 2 were absolute shockers.
I was very positive about the team we assembled for this season. Whilst I didn't expect the team to perform perfectly from day 1, i thought by now we would see signs that we would be a team to be reckoned with. But with the exception of the Fylde and York games I have seen little to make me think we will be challenging at the top come the end of the season. Leaving aside the early FA Cup games we have been second best for long periods of games against supposed weaker teams, even in home victories. But what was worse were the 2 away games where we totally outplayed (even before we went down to 10/9 men). We have no divine right to win games but given the players we have, we should be doing a lot more. As Oxo said the manager seeming to accept being 1 down after 55 mins and then trying to change it is simply not good enough. We were awful in the first half - why? We were playing a team with a very leaky defence and an even more embarrassing exit from the FA Cup than us. Yet we offered nothing in attack. The only players to come away with any credit were the keeper who kept us in the game in the first half, Garner who always gives 100% and Burrow who won everything in the air. Ferguson came on and showed great commitment, Byrne at long last woke up and Jordan Preston who did his best on his own against at least 3 defenders.
The 2 sendings off were totally justified and stupid. Duxbury had a running battle with their winger from the start and was spoken to by thr ref in the first half. Message to Duxbury - don't shake your head at the ref in disbelief when you have been correctly pulled up for a foul or develop temporary deafness by pretending not to hear the ref when he wants to speak to you. It will not endear yourself to him. Elliott I can only assume was frustrated by the crap service he received all game or at least till he was sent off but he did commit 2 bookable offences and deserved to walk.
We certainly miss Shiels at the back and have had a number of injuries and suspensions this season. But the manager has been backed by the chairman to get replacements in - something not all our rivals have had the luxury of. The suspensions are self inflicted and should not be used as an excuse. At the end the team to their credit came over to applaud the fans, though not too close as they probably didn't want to hear the shouts of rubbish.
Craig says he never gets too carried away when we win or lose. Well I hope this time he does and let the players know that improvement is needed now or move on - them and him.

And they lost:
At home
To a team from a lower league
Had a player sent off
And according to their fans forum had the worst ref ever
Now do you believe in God?

The B-Ark / Re: R.I.P. Boston's greatest manager
« on: December 10, 2019, 07:54:59 PM »
I agree - Jim was our greatest manager. He laid the foundations of Boston becoming one of the biggest non league teams at that time, leading by example both on and off the pitch. He was and always will be one of my heroes. A sad day for football especially Boston United.
RIP Jim.
RIP Jim.
