Stunning result at YS tonight....totally unexpected.....BUT WHAT A PERFORMANCE....some of the footie played by BUFC tonight was IMO some of the BEST EVER I have seen there...a bold statement to make I know,considering I have been going to YS since 1968.....WE WERE SUPERB.....and anybody who was there tonight will most likely say the same....Happy Days ahead hopefully...

Good team performance and some very good individual performances,
No denying histon are terrible though!
-
To fast for them. Last year we moaned about the lack of speed, This year we are pleased we are getting home highlights so we can slow them down.
Smith is our replacement foe Yates, Jones and Newsh look unstoppable and with ben slipping balls throu at will it all looks good.
Dont know about the rest but i must admit to having a little smile at half time knowing we was 3 nil up and our back up boasted Milnes,SWD and stokes
-
I am really pleased with that, but let's not get carried away, Histon were shite.
I think that there were some good performances tonight, but better teams than Histon will ask questions of us, and it will be interesting to see how we handle it.
You can't beat two wins out of two though, and two clean sheets to boot.
Well done to all, roll on saturday.

They wasn,t very good but also in there defence (if it can been seen that way) i thought at times they did put some good passes together.
-
6 cracking goals and a great team effort.......... ;D well done lads ;D
-
Brilliant night's entertainment despite the weather.
Well done lads it's already starting to look like an exciting season.
-
superb performance though may have looked flattering by one of the worst sides i've ever seen. Jones,smith,fairclough and newsham look like they play superbly together. Theres a chance SWD may struggle to get in the team if they continue
-
Excellent performance against a poor side but that's not our fault! The best fiver ive spent this year!
-
Last season we really struggled for goals so it's good to see us cracking some goals in, it's too early to tell where we are in relation to everyone else, Guiseley beat Droylesden 7-1 tonight, but it's a promising start nonetheless
-
liquid football..... ;D
-
Young Smith showed that Saturday wasn't just a one off, superb again. All worked hard and with a holding midfielder we look solid. Not getting carried away as Histon were awful, but a good start.
-

So why go on United live with the comment "make the most of it, it won't last".
-
The first match I have seen in nearly a year ( work commitments ). Well done lads, we can only beat whats in front of us.
-
Thought Nathan Stainfield had a very good game.
-
Excellent performance all round. They were far from the best team we will play this year, but we played as a team at last, and had pace which will always put defenders in this league under pressure
Only slight criticism despite a clean sheet, we looked a bit casual at the back several times, and better sides would have punished us, but overall great start.
-
what a fantastic performance and win! The whole team performed very well! the only down side is ian ross and maybe jellyman looked to be injured. i hope we get the goals replayed like they did for that one game last season for a trial. I think we will beat Hinckley on saturday. They are second from bottom and dont seem to be a strong side. come on the pilgrims! roll on saturday!

Only 'a bit different' as what 8 turned out for us last year?

Goes to show what a difference 3/4 new players in key positions can make LCB.
Looks as JL may have it right this season.
-
What really impressed me was the fact if we lost the ball how quick we won it back and the effort put into getting back. Well done to the Hyde/Lee partnership. Not forgetting the fitness coach :)
Also apart from Jelly the back four are all local lads which is nice to see.

I know, it also shows how quickly people forget and forgive despite the fact we've no idea if the two we've played will turn out to be whipping boys and all we are is first in the queue.
For the record, I thought last years side showed promise of a change, and was happy to give it another go without wholesale changes.
We'll not truely know where we stand until we meet another early front runner. We could win against Hinkley then Bishops and still be no closer to knowing if we've got enough. For me the Droylsden result was the more impressive of the two, it showed professionalism ahead of some of their years and that instinct to get something even if it ain't pretty.

Sorry lcb wrong end of the stick i was knocking at our sides pattern of play last year not the players that were involved kind regards.
-
why sorry bosleake.we have a far better side .we can easely play 4,4,2 or 4.3.3 our bench will allway's look stronger as well.
-
One of my favourite bits on Tuesday night (in addition to the result and performance) was to see Shaun Pearson in attendance once again.
I have seen him there several times since he left and he was sat just behind me in the main stand with two friends - he was cheering and celebrating as much as anyone else when the goals went in, particularly when Marc Newsham netted.

Agree with that, especially the piece about the side showing promise last year (towards the end mainly).
As for the game maybe I'm just hard to please but I agree with JL I thought we where poor up until we scored our first, which was against the run of play. Once that first went in though we played some good stuff.
I didn't think Histon were that bad on the ball or offensively, their defence was woeful though.
I still think there is more to come and there needs to be, as LCB states there will be tougher challenges.

He's Welsh.

As is Stainfield, according to Wikipaedia.....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_United
... We've also got a striker named Juris Kormis on our Wikipaedia page. He could be Latvian (if the flag is correct). Have I missed something? Does anyone know who he is?
-
He is a Latvian, youth team forward.
Also a latvian under 17 international.
