Just bloody awesome, and a message sent out, that if you don't respect us you do at your peril.
A very gritty performance, which today I watched from the town end, the opposition played some nice football, but so did we and at times we looked the better team.
All respect to our keeper for taking the opportunity to disrupt BS when they were getting on top with his injury time out.
At last we have players who think on there feet and can show a bit of gamesmanship when needed.
Yes you can say cheating, but they all do it to us when required.
Brilliant win and we are still on top of the league, the form league that is.

What an awful day to watch football after three weeks in the sun but my goodness the lads warmed the cockles with that display. I would rate that game as probably the best non league match anyone is likely to see this season it really had everything, excellent play by both sides on a dodgy surface, total commitment by all twenty two but I felt we just edged it.

WOW! Well done lads! Three points taken from a "play-off" side who thrashed us earlier this season. Any player carrying a niggling injury now has an extra week to get right before home games against Curzon and Leamington. Talking of which, how did Greg get on today? Five points off 7th place.

Might be a little off topic but four posts when we have got another great victory. This is almost unprecedented in terms of the run of form. A new manager destined for success I feel   Some quality new players and a brand of football easy on the eye. So all is good with the club.  When we lose thirty forty posts yet record run if results.  Just goes to show how people love to focus on the negative. I’m going for crashing the last place in play offs.  Already planning away days to York etc. Let’s get some more positivity going.

only downside to today's game was the referee who got so many things wrong including trying to give Blyth a penalty from a good save from the keeper.just need a few more fans to come and see how well were playing. Playoffs well you never know let's dream you never know.

Amazing turnaround under this very good manager. Said it before, I honestly believe he is the best we have had since the S&H days and I think he will go on to good things. Hopefully with us ! Can see him collecting another manager of the month soon. He has the team playing well and as a unit.

A bit unfair to the ref ,  credit to him for consulting his lino and getting things right .  CE praised the ref for his performance .
I don't think you could get a good flowing game like todays with poor officials .

John was injured, he was clutching his right knee a couple of minutes before they scored, it was when he launched that wayward kick into the stand, but you are right, he used it to break the play.
 First half when their keeper parried one I said we need Tshimango on, he would have had that, comes on and boom, he did tap one in. Reece ran his socks off as usual but why does it take Ash to get a goal before he kicks into gear? He was a passenger until the goal then he was showboating and running the defence.

 Credit to CE, we needed to change things at half time and he must have said something cos we came flying out the traps and could have had three before the penalty.

Two months unbeaten, that is title winning form just a pity we had to wait until December for someone to kick start the season.

Oh, the right back looks a good addition too and reckon he would have scored only the ref saw something we didn't as he tackled their last man.

At last we have defenders who throw their bodies in the way, how many shots did they block in that frantic ten minutes in the first half?

We are a nation of moaners, but like you I would like to see more supportive and positive comments when we win.

Another impressive display and this was against a well organised decent side. We are now showing we are well capable of mixing it with the best sides in the league.
It's such a turnaround from the dire Murray style to be playing with confidence always on the front foot.
Keep it up lads!

Makes you angry that Murray kept in post for way too long this season. Craig has proved a fresh of breath air and a member of the winners' enclosure club!

I couldn't have put it better. 100% agree. Well done to CE and the team. Manager of the month for January?

To be fair FC the moaners have made a massive improvement ,  recall when we spent two seasons in the play-offs posting a positive massage often drew abusive comments and calls of "happy clapping ".

I don't think do LOVE to focus on the negative, I think its more a case of when things go wrong more people have different opinions of why and how to fix it, so more points and opinions are bound to be made. When things go well, everyone is happy, so less points for discussion, just a collective contentment. Its unlikely that supporters could find faults in a run of 22 points from 24, so what's to discuss?

Couldn't beat a side in the bottom three though, could we. Bloody rubbish Boston.  :D

Interesting match last Sat.  Stafford Rangers v Matlock ended with a 2 - 0 win for Stafford, both goals scored by Karl Hawley, getting one over some of his former Boston team mates.

According to the chap next to me on Saturday I know nothing about football and it would seem neither did 3/4's of the stadium. He argued theirs was a penalty even when I said Jon played the ball. I was told to f off to another part of the ground as he had heard my comments during the 1st half regarding some of the decisions magoo made and he agreed with the ref. If the ref was right why were we all booing and shouting at him? Might have to start carrying my cv so ready when questioned again lol

 Back to the game, watching the highlights shocked me, Spain Road waited and applauded the team off the pitch, I had to watch it more than once to make sure it was from York Street :D

 Roll on 10th Feb and the next Christians roll up at the Colosseum, there is a real buzz around the ground again and the players are responding, who needs a philosophy? Some of the same players AM had yet he could not motivate them, CE turns up, keeps it simple and results follow, players do not need baffling with endless diagrams in a folder, they just need a couple of instructions and give them the ball.

 Even the Lincoln supporters on the in law side are taking note and praising us so we must be doing something right, just hope we can keep some of this squad in the close season but have faith in CE bringing in some quality has he has done so far.

UP THE PILGRIMS

Crazy Neil, you may know a bit about football - it wasn't a penalty...but you know little about the Spain Road supporters - they almost always wait to applaud the players off the pitch (AM got a little abuse, but even in the bad times MOST of the players were applauded off the pitch - most folks knew who was at fault)

I used to stand near the snack bar but a lot of the fans there would stay to hurl abuse but it nice to see that they are more now staying and applauding that was all I meant. Had a few arguments there at the end of a game, esp on muppet who used to moan every game, he constantly hurled abuse and DG telling him to go away quickly, DG mouthed it back (I know he should not have but you can only take so much) said fan then wanted a Steward to complain too. Only been there once this season, back in the Town End now, and it is a lot better than it was,

Did anyone see who threw the object on the pitch just missing their keeper in injury time on Saturday?
Can do without that, the FA punishes us as it is.
