C'mon you Pilgrims. 8)

Doh! :(

Lonely on here isn't it!
I had to go to BBC site to get result.
I see Mills got a goal after 5 mins.
-
I'm told it was a dreadful game, typical end of season stuff.
-
Same old same old by the sounds of things, we score then let in a daft goal. Well it's near the end of the season and I for one am not bothered it's over. I hope there will be wholesale changes for the next stab at getting close to the play offs next season!!
check the grassy knoll and the chips and curry :bunny

A dreadful game on a dreadful pitch, the fourth game on it this week apparently although it was the same for both sides and I have to say the young Histon lads played us off the park at times particularly in mid field and defence, trouble was they were very much like us in that they didn't have anyone who could put the ball in the net and had it not been for Stainfield we could have been on a real hiding.
I still feel we need new blood in quite a few areas or we are going nowhere. Everyone on here knows we are sadly lacking a good striker, a midfield ball winner and a commanding figure at the back ( How about the Histon number 5 who was excellent today) and two fullbacks and keeper. Quite a shopping list I know but we are carrying too much dead wood.
I will be renewing my season ticket this week as I hope everyone else will as every penny is needed to give us a fighting chance.

Oxo, you make a good point regarding season tickets. :) I might still get one, though my work has taken me well away from Boston now. ??? Actually, I'm going to do some more sponsorship instead :) and let someone else have my dear old seat from many years, seems the decent thing. 8) A bit international now so will get when possible, missing beer at the Eagle and Indian after!! :)
-
The Conference National has finished with three northern and one southern teams relegated. What are the odds on us being moved south next season?
-
Mmmmm...... teams down there are softer! However lots of downsides too. :dan
-
No chance either bishop stortford or Oxford city will moved south I would say stortford.

But he's signed on or offered terms to 6 or 7 of the current squad......... :-\
Thats no the wholesale changes we need.
-
I dont think we need a 'good striker' - we have that in Newsham and arguably Weir-Daley. I think we need a different type of striker to compliment those two - perhaps someone taller and more powerful.
Very poor game yesterday though. Histon wanted it a bit more and that's understandable given their league position. I personally would keep no more than about four or five of the squad for next season - otherwise we will be sat here this time next season feeling the same.

I thought we had good players being miss managed :)
-
Greene says he is looking to sign 5-6 players for next season so that suggests he will retain maybe 10 players plus use nutter,sanders and Reid as squad players??

I think we'll be sat here feeling pretty much the same next season.......after a positive start its now 1 win in 6 with 2 draws and 3 defeats.
With all the noises being made about who's been kept I don't see anything other than a 'possible' play off tilt. We seem to be keeping the core of a very inconsistent squad.......how can that be progress?
-

BUNCE as to go reminds me of norman wisdom mouth open doing nothing but stutter.
I think GREENE was to keen to retain the players we no of,they were going nowere for sure.
all the smiles have gone off the faces of the players .,
.i believe instead of going to press and openly blameing our defence for our lost games he should have been man enough to get all of them behind closed doors and tell them all together he was not happy,
did he not learn anything from MARTIN O'NEAL.
IT all starts at the front and yesterday our front and m/field did little to help the back line.
I thought our back line were well tested yesterday and got by very well and haystead on form as well.

Whats with the anti Bunny issue. Well respected by all reserve set up, passionate about the game and developing the youth, and has played. So give him a chance you dont know what Dennis wants from him.
On a postive note Histon really freindly place from stewards to bar staff and pubs around the place very welcoming

AGREE with every thing you say about bunny i just think maybe he his out of his dept with the FIRST team.
going on the last 6 games there hardly a Scott and Hurst Duo ;) ;)and will never get near them for sure. :)
-
No there not , but the seasons over so perhaps they are trying a few things out now. I was there yesterday and it wasnt pretty but to do one on Bunny is a cheap shot, i doubt you know much about him and his credentials as a footballing bloke , but my point is dont dig the assistant if the results are crap surely the manager should get your whingeing first and foremost.
And dont give it am i Bunnys mate, but I am from Fishtoft and drink in his dads ex pup but thats my only connection, I just think we perhaps need to stop the negative crap.

I have to say twas only my second away game of the season and how I wish I hadn't bothered. If Greene is to keep 7 or 8 of this squad we could be in for another long season next year, as I thought in the main if not being outplayed, certainly over run and worse not by a team exactly known for being capable of doing so. Was pretty poor to be fair
They were quicker, neater, arguably more passionate about the way the played and if it wasn't for some heroics in goal we actually could have taken one a 'hell of a beating' and they seemed to have a really young side out as well
We had a long and heated discussion in the car back, centering around the rationale of getting rid of not only two managers but it might appear to some, then replacing them with one who despite a really bright start, at the moment seems to be faring no better
Someone also mentioned about players smiling or not perhaps, should be more accurate, and he was spot on. Maybe it was just down to end of season boredom, but he's right no-on really looked as though they were actually enjoying it, which in what overall was a half decent game to watch, might or might not have explained the very lack lustre and hugely disappointing 90 minutes we got from them :(
-
QPR made wholesale changes,look at the demise of that club - We do not need wholesale changes,just better players to come in and replace those being released and bring the best out of those remaining.
Once we secured our league status the season was over, forget about this season look forward to next and try and show some faith in the new manager and give him a chance.
The talking points on here should be who will we sign? The launch of the plans for a new ground? Our future as a conference side in twelve months time?
The time for doom and gloom has been and gone,Dennis is right to sign players quickly,Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail.
I for one will look for the team to hit the ground running,but i refuse to denounce the team before its even kicked a ball in the new season.
-
So that's three managers that have struggled to play a decent tune with the current squad.
I think wholesale changes are exactly what you need.
-
I have to agree and say I don't feel we need wholesale changes. We just need to add the right quality to the lads that are staying. If we are more solid at the back and add quality in area like central defence,left back, left winger,midfield and a strong forward we should be able to progress next year. We need an Alan white type player in at the back no doubt about it.

So a centre half, left back, left winger, a central midfielder and a striker? 5 out of 11 positions?!
-
Yep a clear out of Drury's average players.

Indeed. Point remains that you need a fair sized overhaul of your playing squad if you hope to be competitive next term.
-
New keeper,left back,two centre halfs,natural left winger,centre midfielder and target man with the right signings in them areas we can challenge the play offs. Any thoughts on players we would like to see signed???

someone got them winning lets not forget the team must have been picked befor greene arrived on that tue.
night we won that one and befor he could settle in we won another 2 games.
the golfers reckon CHRIS COOK and DAVID NEWTON had a big part to play in the sellection of them games ;;; ;)

If we are only retaining 6/7 of present squad we will have space the fill the positions you mention Shauney . I think you have got it right . A good start might be Jan Budtz in goal , an ideal target man
Darren Stamp .

They would be massive signings or if not them players of that kind. I hope we can attract a couple from trinity they would improve our squad no doubt.
