Unlucky to get nothing out of a game in which the opposition created nothing.
Gledhill had very little to do only save I remember was in the middle of the goal from range.
Pidge and Garner were outstanding at the back as usual - I think we are going to see the benefit of them having played together for a good 50 odd games now this season.
Mills was unlucky with the goal 99/100 he will either put it over the bar/out for a corner or into the 'keepers arms.
Steer was a bit more restrained today with Ferriby's biggest threat coming down his side, no one directly in front of him and only two CB'S.
Marshall did any excellent job in front of Pidge/Garner.
Hollingsworth covered more ground than anyone again, showed good bursts going forward and passed the ball simply but well.
Dorran showed fantastic ball control but faded second half.
Meadows did well put didn't get forward enough for the "attacking midfielder" or pose any threat on the opposition goal, although he battled well.
Southwell was pushed and pulled all over the place and got no protection from the very poor officials. Did waste our best chance first half when he could of squared it to McGhee who would have been odds on to score.
Hope McGhee will be back soon as he is an important player.
Felix was exciting for me and I believe he will provide us with an end product and surely will be pushing for a place in the starting 11 hopefully on Monday.
Fallah shows plenty of running but not sure if he will get goals.
All in all a good performace just not our day.
Ferriby didn't look anything special. Doubt they will "wow" many with their performances. However they will be in the mix again with their experience, Jarman has a decent record for getting goals but did nothing again today like last April.

Not much info coming out about the match. Is everyone on holiday? Or maybe at, the Bank holiday Beer Festival @ The Black Sluice Cafe? :o

Fair summary Carl.
They were just a load of big blokes......shame we missed our own goal :(
Can see them frustrating a few sides.
-
Awful game, we created 3 good chances to score, ferriby created bugger all, Gledhills only action picking the ball out of the net following the own goal, still think we're lacking a bit in midfield, got muscled out far too often today, onwards to Tamworth, should be a better game.
-
We played far too direct against a big ferriby side. They were quick to close us down and didn't allow us to settle. very harsh on vince to be dropped and I thought gledhill looked shaky today and is very slow at distributing the ball out. A disappointing result today but still a great start to the season..
-
First of all with officials like that we were never going to see a decent game, never seen so much inconsistency and stopping the game for the least little thing. Just like last season at their place we were bullied out of it and as I said no protection from the ref. Not too disappointed with the performance but hope Felix gets a start on Monday along with Dowie if fit.
As somebody said on another forum Ferriby supporters are the only away fans who get allocated a steward each.

Not very impressed with Gledhill's distribution. Please bring back Vince .

Gledhill did ok, gives me a lot more confidence with crosses coming into the box than Vince, agree his kicking leaves a lot to be desired, was pretty wayward today, that's were Vince as the edge, not a lot to choose between them though, always good to have competition for places.

Agree with most of what has been said above, but I was disappointed with several things today.
1- team selection-managers fault. Too negative from the start. We were much better later in the second half when we played a bit wider and had more speed down the flanks. I know the plan was not to lose to a potentially close rival, but I thought DG got this wrong big time today.
2- We will always get out muscled against a side like Ferriby. I am not to critical of the lads in midfield today- they had skill and fitness, but sometimes we need more steel and physicality which was lacking today. We also need more upfront, but that was down to the way the team was set up today. I know it is disappoinying to lose, however I have never seen a more objectional and thuggish side as Ferriby who just know they would get away with any challenge following probably one of the most ineffective refereeing performances it has been my misfortune to witness at York Street.
3- I think Gledhill is probably a better bet than Vince overall, but often he was frustratingly slow to get the attack moving--it felt like we were 1-0 up rather than behind.
4 Was Marshall injured when substituted, if not another mistake by DG?
It is difficult to assess our chances this season, but I dont think we will be any where near the play offs without more physical presence in midfield and better attacking options than I have seen from the first two home games
-
I thought we were missing Dickinson up front today, any ideas why he was not in the squad/
-
Didn't do enough for me. Apart from the end we rarely threatened and it was a pity we got sucked into hoofing it...played right into their hands. But they will be up there and hopefully we won't be far away. Stop booing the team and get yourselves to tamworth and get behind the team.
-
Best part for me was the last 10 mins ,we pushed forward and should of scored in the last few mins of the game .Luck had a big part to play they had good luck when they was close to a own goal just before we had bad luck it would of been a cracking goal if it was at the right end . Ref was a moron reluctant to book there players willing to book ours , how was the elbow in the face not a sending off , I thought the players got a good send of considering we just lost .If we were offered 9 points in 4 games just over 2 weeks ago i'm sure most of us would of been happy shame we lost our home run so soon in the season lets hope we can win the next few 8) 8)

Take those reports with a pinch of salt. He comes from the Housham school of football. The guys a nut job.
-
As for the game, while it was 0-0 and they had to come out of Camp 18yd we stood a chance but as soon as we scored they were never coming out. Early on we looked like if we turned them around a bit we could do something. It was crying out for pace to run at them, which at the end we did.
It's not even like we could let them have the ball and retreat to try and get them out, they simply wouldn't do it.

Think the reason is simple he can catch vince cannot. As for kicking against barrow DG was going crazy as Vince couldnt seem to kick the ball where he wanted him to. Id rather keep the ball out the net
-
Boston were basically playing against 12 men due to Coco the clown refereeing the game.
The scary thing is he probably won't be the worst ref we see at the Jakemans this season. :o
-
I'm still trying to work out how their keeper wasn't penalised for pole-axing Felix in the corner of the box...

Wouldn't believe both these players are roughly the same age!
