Utd 1 up header from SWD ;D
-
So who we playing next then?
-
Get in great result!!!
Up the Pilgrims!!!
-
Fantastic battling performance, I can go off to my Xmas party now in a good mood well done lads.
-
top result ---- Well done players and management
-
well done boston. brilliant first half performance, in which we played football on the ground and not the long ball. the second half was very different. york must have had 75% of possession but our defense were outstanding against a fitter and more stronger prem side. bring on crawley.
-
tremendous result lads - well done - anyone at home in the next round please

crawley please

Just back from the performance of the season. Whats all this about Crawley and the fraudster, I agree with Andy forget about Him and them we dont want them anywhere near us.
Today we were pitted against a very good conference side and the lads showed they can hold their own at that level with a wonderful gutsy performance, Everyone put in a great shift but SWD was outstanding, not just with his goal but his commitment was total covering every inch of grass.
Special mention for our defence, York had almost all of the posession in the second half and some of the defending was sheer class. Also well done to the fans who sang the York lot into the ground.
-
Completely outclassed and outplayed today..... but we take home the win. If they can't score against you they can't beat you.
-
Grimsby or Wrexham at home please!
-
Got a little worried when we arrived and they were handing out Conference awards for manager of the month and player of the month.
Our first half performance and heckling from the Pilgrims fans certainly wound up Rankin (player of the month).
Great first half, quite an uncomfortable second half but well done!!
-
I wouldn't say we where completely outclassed LCB, first half IMO we where slightly the better side. Second half we took a battering but for all that I can only remember Mckeown making 1 save.
We defended resolutely with Pearson MOTM for me, typified the spirit within the team.
-
We played a team who were on form, and hadn't conceded in their last 5 games. We defended superbly, and took what was pretty much our only clearcut chance.
Giantkillers!!

1300? hardly.
-
Damn, damn and damn again I had us down for a 3-0 thrashing. ;) Well played lads :xmashat
-
I too had us down for a 3-0 defeat so imagine my joy this morning reading that we had won 1-0. This is a magnificent result against an in-form Conference Premier side. It is a sign that we fear no one and can compete with the best that Non-League can put up against us. This is an excellent Boston side and, although promotion is the main target, a good Trophy run can instill confidence and produce some additional revenue.

I thought I'd just watch this one for a change rather than try to take any photos, but I couldn't resist taking a few snaps with my toy camera.

it was the highest attendance in the comp yesterday. just shows how uninportant the comp has become to the prem sides who are chasing the play offs. even a little disappointing that only 164 of us could make it considering we have not played for 3 weeks and we were playing higher league opposition.

Don't forget we were only given official confirmation the game was on at around 11ish. Good turnout I thought.

Can look at the 3 week break in 2 ways in our number of 164 , that in those 3 weeks we'd have had 3 games 2 of those i'd have thought we'd have got maximum points and maybe a draw at worcester which would have given us momentum going into yesterday and creating abit more intrest with us fans and also 2 weeks before christmas people will be counting there pennies
but i can see your point that the 3week break could have made a few more travel considering it was against a higher league team and not the furthest journey
but who cares ? we won and we're in the hat for the next round !
-
164 is a good figure and probably the highest away support on the day but still, i was expecting more. the ones who did travel certainly made plenty of noise which had to have had a inspiring effect on our players.
looking forward to the draw 2moz. grimsby, crawley, luton would be great.

There appears to be a bad case of "sour grapes" in York, judging by some of the comments posted on the York Press website...
http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/8733077.Boston_s_Shaun_Pearson_aims_to_dump_York_City_heroes_out_of_FA_Trophy/#commentsList
... If Shaun Pearson is the worst player to have played at Bootham Crescent this season, I can only assume they haven't played Harrogate in any regional cup competitions. And if they thought our time wasting was pathetic, let's hope they never have to play Nuneaton.
-
I think 164 was pretty good. Very hard for people to plan ahead for the weather and making train ticket booking very risky, as I am sure quite a few would have chosen this route.
-
Pearson the worst player at Bootham Crescent this season?? It's good to know he is a York fan who has travelled to watch us but he was, along with your other defenders, superb yesterday. York were poor and you deserved to win. Several people I spoke to thought Pearson was impressive but not as good as your captain, he was awesome. As for us, our big game is at Bolton and their prices are very reasonable which means we will have a good following. Best of luck and we may see you next season, if we don't get promoted that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Pictures from yesterday's game from the York City twitter feed. >> http://www.mainlyfax.fotopic.net/c1923387.html
Surely Rankine was worse than Pearson by miles, Shaun had the beating of him all game! At least Pearson wasn't playing in his slippers.
-
Thanks for the pics. Excellent the way you have 'captured' SWD's goal. for those of us who weren't there makes it real :xmasdeer

Captain Canoville played for us in the Football League and returned 18 months ago. He's been forced out to right-back mainly this season, due to the form of another centre-back, Kieran Murphy.

Sadly I cannot claim credit for those, good as they are!

Here are the numbers for tomorrow's draw:
1. Wrexham
2. Eastwood Town or Rushden & Diamonds
3. Mansfield Town or Worksop Town
4. Droylsden
5. Altrincham or Curzon Ashton
6. Darlington or Tamworth
7. AFC Telford United
8. Chasetown or Kettering Town
9. Stalybridge Celtic
10. Boston United
11. Blyth Spartans or Fleetwood Town
12. Alfreton Town or Hyde
13. Worcester City
14. Grimsby Town
15. Guiseley
16. Gateshead or Southport
17. Dorchester Town
18. Bath City
19. Luton Town or Welling United
20. Eastleigh or Sutton United
21. Woking
22. Ashford Town (Middx)
23. Cirencester Town or Gloucester City
24. Eastbourne Borough
25. Ebbsfleet United
26. Cambridge United
27. Crawley Town or Dartford
28. Hampton & Richmond Borough
29. Uxbridge
30. Newport County or Wealdstone
31. AFC Wimbledon
32. Salisbury City
Any team there that you'd particularly like to see us play (or avoid)?
A home tie or away to somewhere in my part of the world (e.g. Woking or Salisbury) would suit me just fine. I'd personally like to avoid #27 (unless it's Dartford...) and anyone in our league, which would be a bit boring.
One that also caught my eye is #30 - a potential FA Trophy re-match with Wealdstone!
-
Uxbridge at home would do ;)
-
From a selfish point of view i would like Alfreton or Eastwood away, as it's nice and local for me. But a home tie against a BSN or lower team would be great. Luton (if they get through to the next round) or Grimsby at home wouldn't be bad either.

How did shane clarke do this time

How did shane clarke do this time
Played very well I thought, harsh on Sleath to drop him for Clarke, but he is a better player. Key signing i think.
-
Clarke is very much a box-to-box midfielder - something I think Church wants to be, but found himself more defensive when playing alongside Sleath.
Clarke allows Church to prowl around the midfield, just like he did against Gainsborough.
In terms of the next round - Grimsby at home would be the highest profile.
-
anyone in the south so i can come and watch.
Uxbridge away or Wealdstone away would be amazing
-
Have to say im hoping for grimsby at york street
-
Grimsby home or away would be top stuff !
-
Some one "easy" at home or a "big" team home or away (Grimsby, Luton, Mansfield) would do,
Personally I'd fancy AFC Wimbledon away.
EDIT: I'd like to avoid Crawley as I don't even want to dignify that...
-
I really hope we get a great run in the FA Trophy, as under H&S the only thing thats been lacking is a run in one of the "major" cup competitions, but we've been doing great in the tinpot ones like the Shield and the Unibond Cup, I would trade them in for a decent cup run in the FA Cup or FA Trophy anyday.
-
Well done, excellent win. Not sure who I want in the next round (after we beat the Stags - let's be positive ;) )
I'll save playing you guys for the final! 8)
-
Yes that would be a final FT.
