Great start! :)
-
Doh, sad happy clapper. :(
-
I predicted 1-1 so two goals in four minutes doesn't look promising. Ah well a win will be great. :)
-
C'mon you Pilgrims. :)
-
KON add your support, c'mon. :dan
-
Yay ho, 2-1 c'mon. I'll be happy clapping well into the night at this pace! :D
-
Who scored?
-
Juve!
-
Newsh :)
-
Ward! :)
-
Ward has 2 ?
-
So do I. :) And you ;D
-
Doh, 2-2 >:(
-
Great effort tonight. Onward, Skelmersdale on the horizon. :)
-
Great effort?!? Went to sleep second half. Got what the team deserved

Gosh that was close, we nearly won. JL snatched defeat from the jaws of victory again. I'm going to say it even though some folk don't agree but why are we putting a young feller on the pitch who just seems to run around like a rabbit. I am told that quite often a team down to 10 men can outplay and beat a team of 11. Perhaps we should try it instead of putting a young lad on who is clearly not up to the mark, YET. Thank goodness DS wasn't on the bench 'cos I'm sure he would have got a game. Don't know about coughing up for the Skem game, I predict they will win. Please prove me wrong.

Keep the faith :)

Seeingbetter who are you referring to?

DS dyer straits to us regular fans .
-
You didn't notice the question mark KON?

That was garbage tonight. Spent most of the second half trying to see out the game, that's fair enough away at Halifax or Stalybridge but at home to Solihull it's just not good enough.
All the hard work of getting results at places like that is undone with results like tonight :(
-
Played well all game for me only for Solihul to take their only real chance in the 92nd minute inevitably punishing us for missed chances to kill the game off. No bad performances today but no outstanding ones and we finally got that draw...
-
And me Carl enjoyed it. Big strong team against a passing team.In the last minute Newsh misses by a whisker after a great passing move, then we concede against their second serious effort of the half (there first was a cracker ala Ross free kick.) Newsh scores all great we concede and we were holding on.We created several good chances throughout the game and several players could have had mom, Wardy local lad, Stanners local lad, Rossy great player class act, Jones ex Deeping, and man of the match Reedy a schoolkid local lad. At half time applauded off at the end a guy stood next to me and said what a load of xxxxxxxx rubbish I just could not believe it. Anyway had a few in the Red Cow and agreed all round we were robbed in the last few seconds.Some you win some you lose, but no faulting the performance tonight.
-
They offered nothing, absolutely nothing and yet we contrived to give them something. Newsham had more chances than he will have in a month normally. God this side can be frustrating at times.
-
Anyone know what a bloke from Spayne terrace was complaining to the Stewards about ?
-
Cannot blame JL tonight for players missing chances or for lack of passion from the dug out and also made subs at the right times.
The side is developing and would rather have upcoming young players than over the hill types.
-

I think he was complaining about their number six, who made several gestures towards the crowd after their equaliser.
As for the match, very frustrating I just feel we should be finishing teams like this off at home, we seem to sit so deep at time and when we get the chance to break, the attack is not supported quick enough. There were lots of times where crosses were delivered to an empty box.
2 points most definatley dropped tonight, and whats with all the injuries? Why is SWD injured he's had 3 weeks off, whats happenened to Silk again? All these injuries seem to happened during training and I think it is costing us and is not giving the management a chance to have a settled side................ I still dont know what our best 11 is!

with respect you were obviously not at the same game as me last night....it WASNT garbage as you say IMO....it was a spirited performance by a relatively young and inexperienced team the majority of are still learning their trade....its true that we lack the ability at present to see a game out as they say.....that will hopefully come in time....whatever it was,,it definately wasnt garbage...
-

sorry Tony,but I disagree....perhaps it wasnt a great effort in the second half but it was still a good effort by our very young team against a very experienced a much physically stronger team against whom we had failed to score,or beat,in recent seasons.....
Id say we were unlucky...
-
Boston should have been well ahead by the end, but it wasn't the young players who let the side down.

Garbage was perhaps the wrong word on the back of a frustrating night. I actually think we have a team that is capable of much more than we are saw last night. I'm in the minority but I have been happy with most performances since the Oxford City debacle even if the results in some of those games haven't been what we all wanted.
Last night we played a team that was toothless up front and at the back they were slow and indecisive. So I expected the team to go all out for goals. What we saw was the team sit deep for virtually the whole second half and it became more and more about seeing the game out rather than scoring more goals, even though we did carve out a few chances. As I said last night that's fine when we play away against better sides but Solihull were woeful last night and there for the taking IMO.
I try to be positive but all the good recent results against the better sides will count for nothing if we don't beat sides like Solihull especially at home. We have more of the same coming up, Gloucester, VM and Corby. If we have any aspirations of play-offs then we need to beat these teams.

Sorry KoN should have made myself clearer. I was referring to young Sanders. I prefer him to DS but when you are trying to win a game, get three points and increase attendances I don't think that putting the poor feller in the mix is fare on him (is it fare or fair, cant remember). You and many others probably don't agree with me. It's no good saying you have to give the young ones a run out when winning the game is more important. To me he just doesn't look a first team player yet. I suppose we have to put it down to money again, in which case we will be a middle of the league side for another half season. I have to say that when I see DS or Charlie put on it makes me think we are trying to give the opposition a chance to win or draw. Sorry but thats how I feel, wish I could be more positive. Just to show you I am not a doom and gloom merchant I think the rest of the team are doing well, especially the defence. I am certainly not blaming him for the draw last but we are very often onthe defensive for the last quarter of many of our games.
-
Solihull now unbeaten in seven games - a run that includes wins against Bradford PA, Altrincham and Guiseley. Perhaps they also had an off-night.

-
Their number 11 looked quite handy.
-
Our two central defenders can't pass the ball and most of the time don't look comfertable on the ball, which results in them usually hoofing it upfield, only for it to come straight back putting us under pressure.
-
I agree Tash.
At times we are knocking it about really well - short little passes, triangles etc but only for about 30% of the time. Then for some reason we just hoof it up towards Jones. On the whole we don't seem comfortable with possession - or use the width of the pitch well. Perhaps it's becasue when we start knocking it across the back, the crowd get all anxious and it just then gets launched !

Agree with you! A decent lincs league player but not BSN yet!
-
THis is one that got away for sure, they were poor and maybe made us look better than we are,they will have to watch sander's,he came on thinking he had every right to be there,i thought reed had a good game but not sold on him yet by a long way,our midfield and defence never seem to be on the same radar lack of idea's how to play the ball out,that his one area we never seem to change,our bench is never strong enough to make them on the pitch work harder,having said all that i think we will still be in play off's (one more c/back and c/mid for backup) ;)
-
I realise 2nd half we were more intent on seeing the game out than trying to win it, but why was it necessary for everyone to go back in defence for a throw in from Solihull? surely that's just inviting them to come and win the game! ???
-

They pass it a damn sight better than Solihulls who generally just put it out of play or to Ross.
-
For me I thought we'd be in trouble when the subs they brought on were as big if not bigger than the rest oif the team and our's were smaller than those coming off. All Solihull offered was a hoof to the big blokes up top. Jones looked somewhat off the pace last night and I thought he might be still carrying an injury. I also thought some of the Boston football build up was excellent only to be let down by some wayward finishing. By the time they got a the equaliser Boston should and easily could have been 4 up.
To say that was garbage is a joke, frustrating yes, as all last minute equalisers are. Another point I'd make is I did not think the free kick leading to the first goal was even a foul Ward got the ball and the Referee made numerous dubious decisions in Solihulls favour which aided them a lot.
Marshall played well throughout but must take a share of the blame for the last goal as he was so tight to the big lad he got rolled though the defending and keeping after that was equally poor.
Reed was superb throughout but with two crocked strikers we need someone in to support Newsham who equally worked his socks off.
-
I've already explained that the garbage remark was out of frustration. Personally I still don't think we played very well. I never fail to be intrigued by the wide range of opinions when we all watch the same match.
-
Why should you have to explain yourself though Ian to someone you don't know?
We all say things in frustration, I know if I'd shown the commitment to the club you have over the years I'd have blown a gasket ages ago.
-
No one should blow a gasket over a game of football!! Lighen up , it,s only a game .
Much more important things in life to complain about .
-
Right GHM ! Better things to waste £12 on than watching football !
-
Ha!
Tell me about.......football is only a game, life's far more precious......... :'(
-
Back to the football though. It wasnt very good. If we cant out run a pub side looking defence that was a few stone over weight then it says something. Second half i was just bored

DL, I can not agree with you more, all season i don't think i have seen a diagonal pass to our wingers to run on too and use their pass to get behind teams.
it is as you said a big huff up down the centre of the pitch which 9 times out of 10 the opposition deals with ease. IMO for what is worth.

I shouldn't and normally wouldn't Andy. However if I criticise, which is few and far between I normally am constructive. As the garbage comment wasn't then I elaborated.
To be honest I know you don't rate Jason but I do, but I think he's got his tactics wrong in the last couple of games. Against Guiseley who are free scoring we needed to keep it tight but went a bit gung ho and paid the price. Against Solihull they offered nothing all first half so should have gone all out at them, but second half we defended too deep and again ultimately paid the price. It's like he's played the wrong tactics for the wrong teams.
I think he'll learn as will the team, the problem is those 4 stupid defeats in a row early doors has left us playing catch up so we can't afford slip-ups like Tuesday, whereas if we'd taken a few points in some of those games it wouldn't have been so critical.

ghm, if it is only a game why do you spend so much time on here? For me it's a passion but is also a release from the stresses of work. I'd guess it's the same for a lot of people.
-
I like you wp also rate Jason, problem is seeming lack of tactics is costing us. Strange how in some of the big games he gets it so right then like tuesday gets it so wrong ???
-
I spend time on here because I enjoy reading and discussing the many differing opinions of aspects of the game . I have supported Boston for 65 years and seeing I agree and often back many of your posts gives me confidence to elaborate on other peoples comments .
And yes I shall have to agree with you again WP, I recall when I had a highly demanding job standing on Spayne terrace was a great outlet to relieve tension . No Patter in those days but if there had been I,d like to think by the time i got home and on the keyboard the tension had dispersed .
Moving on , as with S&H pleased to join you again in backing Newtons choice of management .
Keep up your top class posts even if it means me taking the flack at times .
