Unfortunately can't make the game tonight... Can anyone help me out with a link to or tell me where I could perhaps get audio commentary for it? I already know about the live text update but would much prefer to listen to it if I can. Thanks.
Come on The Pilgrims

Your missing a classic! Big boot up to our 3 foot strikers. Sort it out Drury and get Jones on please!
-
Jones on now as a winger!
-
This is giving me sore eyes........ So poor tonight. :(
-
Drury is clueless! Long balls to our smallest forwards! Feel sorry for Dave Newton! The other candidates much have been crap. Thanks for clapping us at the end Drury its a shame you don't put as much effort in your tactics. Even the happy clappers were questioning the big boot style weres the Barca style ?
-
I Shouldn't, but i will > Told you so :-\
-
I think smashing drury to bits is a bit harsh as he still playing with a team that......well.......are just not any good.
Ross got MOM. i didnt know he was playing till the first free kick. Must have got it for 2 on target.
Got to say and this is my own opinion.
Forget the forwards, forget the wings and the middle because until we get confidence between the keeper and the defence they may as well sit in the stands. Ward seem to cover the keeper most of the night as if he thinks the keeper aint there.
-
Very poor maybe the most haples performance of the season . Tacticly our team cried out UCL, with the players looking utterly dejected at the end .
-
How did the new defender fair tonight??
-
Definitely wasnt worth takinh half a days holiday to watch that "performance"
Not sure how drurys going to double the attendances as that was as poor as any of jason lees bad games
-
Very poor performance tonight, amongst the worst games we've had all season. Agree way too many long balls but it's something we've done under JL as well so not really any difference. If we are going to play that game we need loads more muscle in midfield and up front else we'll do f all in this league as most defenders are big and slow and eat up balls like tonights.
Loads of poor performers tonight, Jells had one of the worst games I've seen him play in a Boston shirt, at fault for second goal and loads of easy balls straight to oppo or into the stands. Also saved by Haystead first half when he got beat way too easy. Smith, Ross, Milnes all poor as well. On the subject of Smith based on the 3 and half games so far he's not really any better than we already have. Hope we're yet to see the best of him :-\
Thought the new CB did ok, having thought for a while we are not far off that tonight shows we are a way off :(
-
Got to blame the manager not the players! Unless all of them were ignoring his tactics?
-

Of the home performances I'd agree, away from home there's been far worse, Gloucester, Skelmersdale, VM, Stortford to name 4 off the top of my head.

Talking a load of b....... after what I saw tonight! More like the Dog and Duck FC

Oh Dear Oh Dear Oh Dear. Or should I say Oh Dire Oh Dire Oh Dire. I have not commented about GDs appointment so far but I have to say something now. Has Mr Newton been sold a pup. Has GD talked himself into the job (that was my first instinct when I heared him for the first time on the radio). Tonight we were muscled out of the game by bigger, stronger players. Our forwards were too small to win the high balls and I think Ross was the only one to have a go at their goal and that was from 2 free kicks. When Jordan Smith had his first game for us I thought he was going to be useful but nothing from him since that game and very poor tonight. I gave up when I saw Sanders put on. Sorry Charlie but at the moment you are out of this league, football wise, and my mate saw the incident for which he was sent off and he apparently deserved it. He elbowed their player before the ball got to them. We actually played better after he left and Newsh tried to cheer us up with a well taken goal, again. We go on about our defence and midfield but I do wonder if our attention should be drawn to the forwards.Lots of huffing and puffing but, including Ross's 2 attempts, I think we only had about 4 or 5 attempts on their goal. As for GD wanting the players to go in the bar after the games I would like to have seen him have the courage to face the microphone after the game, after all, if Mr Houldsworth of Lincoln can do it after an apparently abysmal performance by his team then why can't GD do it. Oh, and what prompted me to get out of my pram, simple really. Stokes is moved on, Smith is moved on and all we were left with was dear young Charlie to go on and save the day. Stainsfield, although a defender, would have been my choice before Charlie. As for the ref, he played 70/40 in favour of Harrogate.
Sorry to say it but if my wife wants me to take her shopping on Saturday afternoon coming I think that would be my choice.
Ah well, early days, things may get better, just have to wait and see. I don't feel inspired to put going to a match before spending the day fishing.
-
Worst I've seen us play this season as I seemed to miss all the horror shows away from home under Jason.
At no point tonight did we look like stringing 2 passes together or even mounting even the slightest challenge on their midfield.
Truely, truely woeful. It was that bad I've looked at the table tonight to work out if I thought we were safe from the bottom.
Prove me wrong
-
Very poor performance against a bottom half team. Only played when we were down to 10 men and all realistic hope had gone. Not sure why Haystead has not been released from our Club - surely a more reliable keeper is required for the second half of the season? Young Sam Vince would be more dependable albeit inexperienced. 8)

For christ sake if ur gonna play the hoof game then let's have big target men up there to aim at JONES to hold it up and then newsh or spence to run on to it

Exactly ! Does anybody know if Jones was on the subs bench at Corby many times? Been told that he was!

The Standard web-site makes scathing comments on tonights match which the likes of are rarely seen in the local press .

Just read it! An honest report from the Standard! Well done Dunc!

boring. Dull. Rubbish. Forgetable. Abject. Dire. You could pick any of those words out of a hat and they would fittingly describe Boston United’s 2-0 defeat to Harrogate Town tonight.
:-X
Prove me wrong

I thought we lost 2-1, did some one leave early?
Tbh the game was lost at 1-0, I couldn't really see a way back.
-
I actually thought we were the best side - up until the point where Harrogate scored. I also thought there should have been an offside decision against Harrogate in the build-up to their opening goal.
Once Harrogate had scored we were awful.
I take on board all the comments about needing a more physical presence in midfield and up front, but more than that we need just one player with a bit of experience to lead the younger players by example when we're struggling. Our ineffective attacking performance last night was as much about Alan White as it was about any of our own players. Nothing got past him. That's the kind of player we need.
-
A bit early to judge the manager yet. Lets give him a few more games.
-
That was poor, worse than poor in fact and if individually the players were marked out of ten, none would have recieved more than five and quite a few i imagine two or three.
watt was one of the few to achieve the over generous rating of 5, but i bet he must be wondering why he left the sanctuary of Evo stick football because what he saw him front of him for 90 minutes must have scared him shitless
The midfield was as shambolic as it was wasteful and if oscars were given for losing the ball they would hsve swept the board last night and as for the forwards, dear oh dear oh dear
the game proved many things, tactically drury got it woefully wrong which after just five games is very worrying indeed. playing 70 yard hoof ball up to three small forwards is naive and foolish and is only erver likely to produce 90 minutes of totasl frustration for both players and definitely supporters alike.were we playing, 44-2, 4-5-1, 4-3-3, I have no idea. Nesham started on the left then in the middle then on the right, smith had a spell as target man, yeah like that really worked and it was just generaly a shambles, in fact was shambolic everywhere.
we definitely need a new and different type of forward,one that either can hold the ball up or create something from nothinng or even bothh because none of that happened last night but how did drury not see that,we all did, and even though i only get to see a dopzen or so matches a year,only the fact that he has just arrived stops me from riping into him, for last night ranks as poor a performance as i seen for many years. And if asnyone was previously questioning the need for at least a couple of midfield players i bet they aint now for they were as a unit totally impotent, wasteful and at times and i hate saying this clueless, and how ross got mom is quite absurd, unless we have to give it to a home player?
lets also give credit to harrogate though who on last nights performnce and with games inhand i think must be play off contenders(certainly wont be us) there 7 Youhill was brilliant as to was there number 4 Nowakowski, god couldn't we do with them or players like them at the club and there defence were totally dominant, organised, strong and distributed the ball superbly......if only we could have associated anmy of those words to describe the performance or tactics used by ourr lads last night, unfortunately we cant!!! :-X
truly dreadful preformance
-
PS: and i totally agree with LP there was no leader out there so vital in games like this
-
Has GD talked himself into the job
That's what usually happens at job interviews. Seriously, all of you need to calm down and give the bloke a chance. He's been here 5 minutes and is playing with Jason Lee's [substandard] team. If it's still this bad once he's got his own men in place, by all means call for his head but this kneejerk dummy spitting isn't doing anyone any favours.
-
Ross worked his socks off in mid field, Couldn't believe Fairclough was taken off, he was a star getting back to defend and then like a rocket up in attack. The new men were not as good as Stainfield in defence and any of our other wingers. The long ball was no good, but saying that the pitch was not good for on the ground play either. Lets hope saturday gets an improvement. JL wasn't far off getting it right in my opinion.

Your joking right?

Good post LP
Done after a night to sleep on it.

You have hit the nail on the head LP but players like white don't come easily or cheap. The budget for this season has been spent so let's hope the changes are made in the summer.

Can't speak for anyone else but I'm not slating the manager or his decisions, just giving an opinion on the match and were I thought it went right/wrong, as I always do. Mine is just an opinion (a very simple one, don't for one minute think I know as much as any football manager), I think Drury should be given time to work with the team and make changes where he sees fit. For me these players individually are all good enough to be in a play-off chasing team but as a unit there is something not quite right so we may have to let go of some to get the balance right.
Oh and I agree with LP, we where the best team until they scored. Once they did (score) heads dropped which is the same old story. Don't agree we need any more physical presence up top I think centre mid is where it's needed and we need to sacrifice one of Milnes or Ross to bring in that type of player. I also think that would be the ideal role for the leader LP rightly says we require.
-
After last night we can't get rid of Ross, Apart from Newsham he was, I think, the only other one most likely to score. I am of course referring to the 2 free kicks. The first one comfortably taken by the goaly and the second one produced a great save by him.
-
One word, or is it two, "outmuscled".
Certainly need an Alan White type at the back. He was magnificent last night, as always.
Charley certainly deserved his sending off. He has not learned from the sendings off he has had in the youth team for very similar efforts.
The positives, we were the better side till they scored, they did keep trying to the end, they did try several different tactics to nick something out of the game rather than the same old same old tactic from JL.
Will judge GD when he has had time on the training field to instill his style and tactics and when he has replaced some of the current squal with the players he wants.
-
Judging by last nights effort, squal is a good word.
