Don't think you could play footie if it's blowing in Tamworth the way it is around here at the moment.
Hopefully Katie blows herself out before 3 o'clock (anatomically, an impossibility by all accounts) :dan

It could be tough playing head wind, especially if it's up their slope as well! Lot's more huff n puff today then!

With our playoff hopes looking less likely after our poor run of form, what would be the likelihood of Den starting with Robbins partnering Dale up front...probably next to zero!
IMO, if he's fit, it would be good to have him on the bench at least as he's the type of player who could make an impact in the last half hour if he's in the mood. 8)

Hope he does ;
need an early goal .
Wind abated at Burton .

I hope he's at least on the bench. Like him or dislike him, he is an impact player with a goal in him. It may well be time to throw caution to the (strong) wind!

Must be due for a goal , long time since he scored .
-
A very weak bench, just two players who can make an impact and one of those carrying a knock. It just goes to show that much of our season is like today, effected by injuries. Come 5 i expect more of the Den out calls, actually , i'll give a few people till 3.01 !! Win, lose or draw i will still be BUFC.
-
Robbins is a million times the player than Laville-Moore who incidently is starting today. The only fit outfield players that aren't strikers start today with only a rookie keeper and three strikers on the bench. Mcevoly, Marrs, Richard Jones, Mark Jones, Rollins, Johnson all unavailable.

Whatever today's outcome ...well done Lewis Hilliard
-
WON 2-1 WELL DONE BOYS.
-
A result the happiest of happy clappers never thought possible. ...
Really well done to players and management for getting it right today.
Really pleased for young Hilliard for scoring
-
Hopefully this important result will re-install some confidence and self-belief back in the lads. Come on Pilgrims :)
-
It is actually better to of won today than Saturday. We've despatched Tamworth now do the same Harrogate and Nuneaton. Typical Boston under Den, when it looks bad they find a result. Although we were absolute garbage in Saturday barring Zac Mills.
-
That's a brilliant win ! Well done lads. Does that mean we still need to win every remaining fixture to to absolutely garauntee a playoff place ? I'm terrible at maths so I'm hoping a more mathematical astute patter member will be able to calculate all the possibilities.
It just goes to show the players have still got the hunger and drive for the battle. I just hope this deserved victory isn't in vein. God if only we'd had a more consistsnt starting 11, we could of easily secured a playoff place by now. It's so frustrating reflecting on them numerous points lost recently. Well, I guess this is just typically bufc, excitement down to the wire.
-
Just heard an idiot on the radio say "we only won because we got a penalty Den has to go"
What f ing planet are these people on???
By the same thinking we only lost on Saturday because of a goalkeeper howler. ...and play carrying on after a free kick should have no been given
-
Good and much needed result. Be a big shame not to build on this whilst the clubs around your club seem to lose their nerve.
-
The most important result of the season, well done lads. 8)
Next week's game is now huge, the pressures on!

It's probably that loony that rings up moaning whether we win, lose or draw. Unfortunately it seems the dimwits at the station always entertain him and let him have his rant. You should ring up howmanynames, a much more balanced point of view when it comes to bufc.
-
Important 3 points that to give us a great chance of making the playoffs.
Harrogate lost, now 6 games without a win so 4th place not impossible.
Still think that last home game v Nuneaton may decide whether we get a playoff place.

fish an chips 2 night 4 shor with mushy peas and maybe cury as well grandad went to see boston town he said it was 1 ellof a game iam pleased 4 him he's getting 2 old 2 go away with united

Missed it, who was it ? I am intrigued.

I was critical of Saturdays performance and make no apologies it was a shambles I did mention that Hilliard had a stinker however I also said if he read that post he should go out and prove me wrong today, Well done young man a good goal and a 100% effort all game. Well played Kaine who is performing very well again, terrified their defenders and really earned the penalty which was blasted down the middle by Dayle who worked his socks off for 96 minutes. The Tamworth goal was very sloppy defending by one player in particular but having said that it was his best performance for us. Nat Brown was outstanding as were Pidge and Garns, I know we are thin on the ground but Robbins is a total liability. Still the team are to be congratulated on a tremendous effort and one of the reasons for that effort was the wonderful support in numbers. Well done the best away fans in the league. UTP

Dennis IN ! Credit where credit is due, although from some it will never be forthcoming. But today, we got things right and that is down to the players and manager. The way things stand now, we can still get that final spot off either Harrogate or Nuneaton. Both these are playing each other soon, and if we say favour a Nuneaton win in that game, then our match away at Harrogate will be a play off game in itself technically if, and i say if, we can now get some more wins under our belt.
Considering all the injuries we have had this season, forcing more in's and out's than we would have liked at times,and on our budget, i think the manager has still done well to keep us in it.
-
Great win today - thought we deserved it overall. Got a bit nervy as the second half wore on but that's understandable - especially with six minutes added on !
Felix was much more effective playing through the middle. Great goal from Hilliard too. Will also mention Burgess. He got some criticism on here after Saturday. I actually thought he did ok on Saturday and played really well today. The only player I wasn't too impressed with was Laville-Moore - although that may be unfair as he was probably playing slightly out of position.
Good to see Robbins back in the set up. Frustrating as usual but he can be dangerous - knows how to dive too :)
Would also mention that we managed the game well too. Our keeper took plenty of time over his kicks for example - something we generally haven't been as good at as our opponents.
Finally - great to see Tamworth no longer class us as a Category A game. I personally wrote to their Chairman last year about this - hopefully this and other feedback has helped with this !

I'll stand up to be counted and give credit where recently I haven't done.
Quite honestly a fantastic result, and yes it keeps half a grip on the playoffs.
Well played Pilgrims and especially Lewis H showing plenty of "bouncebackability".

I have made comments before about this loony , it is clear that he has no interest in BUFC apart from a distaste for Dennis Greene .
I find it distasteful along with many others that the BBC consistently broadcast the rubbish spewed out by this fool which it is clear to all a personal attack on Greene with few valid comments .
Would the BBC broadcast such comments every week about one of their journalist , I think not .
The BBC should give a balance to the listeners . Arrange a debate between Greene and this person chaired by BBC sports journalist . Good listening for Friday Sport .
I suspect this type of person would not have the bottle to take up the offer of a face to face on a level playing field . In which case no more comments from this person should be broadcast .
The BBC may be restricted by "human rights " to do this , in which case those of us who are offended by these comments should inundate Saturday Sport every Saturday between 5.00pm and 6.00 pm expressing our anger in the same tone as his comments. .

Pretty balanced and accurate report off Tamworth site methinks.
More comfortable experience at the Lamb than 15? years ago ..
The newish stand and competant groundstaff & PA made a difference ..

I respect that honest comment. We have so many young players, and its easy for them to be effected if subjected to any abuse so its pleasing he ( Lewis ) bounced back. Also pleasing to see Kaine back to his best, for me, one of the most dangerous players in this league when in top form and not recovering from yet another whack off players who cannot keep up with him.

Age is another factor that many overlook when commenting on our team . Listening to the Imps commentary today mention was made of the fact that their "young " team had an average age of "only"25.7 years .
Many matches last season our average age was 21 . Don,t know today,s average but I suspect it would be around 22 , Apart from Nat Brown at 34 I doubt any of our other players are 25.7 years of age , most being in the 19 to 22 age group . In fact 1 or 2 of our squad today are HALVE Nats age .

According to Mark Whiley, Hilliard got abuse from some so called Boston fans in the warm up. (Lewis mentioned it in his interview). Idiots not fans.
-
Well he manned up to it .
Didn't someone post that Hlliard and Roberts ? being similar players shouldnt both figure in the startng 11 ?l

My 1st match for 1 1/2 years.
I thought the defence set up seemed efficient and well- organised today .. Is this normal ?
-
Robbins is a total liability.
He was fantastic in the last 20 minutes in getting on the ball and running the clock down, either by running at the defenders or taking the ball into the corners.
Definitely a nice option to have on the bench.

Well done Den, the team and our supporters. Credit when credit is due. Keep it up.

Den deserves some credit ! It seems we have a small group, predominately a group of townenders who are chanting hatred towards to manager.Although i will state that other townenders are not getting involved. If these's are true fans then i think they need a head wobble. Also, we keep stemming back to the whole reason why any arguments between manager and fans started. And it stems solely from direct, personal abuse at the manager to which he, right or wrongly responded to. So blaming the manager is wrong, its these few fans who are to blame and since that early spat things have never died down and nobody is willing to live and let live. I am actually embarrassed by some of the things we are seeing and hearing recently on the terraces. It makes me wonder what these people are like in their personal lives, do they never let things be, make a truce, and move on ?

Was Martin Drury on the bench Monday ?
My aged eyes could only make out dashing Den (and our Katie of course) .
