Tonight's opener was timed at 29 seconds. Which leads me to wonder, what is the Pilgrims' quickest ever goal?
-
Quick start :o is it 1-0 Boston then?

Just got back.
My God, we were dreadful.
Ah well.....
-
Definately an off day.
Don't think stocksbridge where that good. But on the day they where much better than us
I am sure we can get decent result saturday and onwards again

Dreadful a bit harsh Pete. Credit to them (steels) they played well. Their two centre backs were immense both literally and figuratively and neither DD or Saurez got any change out of them all night. SPS were up for it, first to the ball a lot of time but then gave it away. This usually resulted in us playing the long ball.
Missed our goal was still queing for my pie so can't comment on it but we did not really create much after that. it was reminiscent of some of our early games with too much emphasis on the long ball.
Don't understand why we didn't get the ball to Yates' feet more. Their goals were well taken efforts.
overall an entertaining game but a disappointing display/result after what we have come to expect recently. Stocksbridge look to be having something of a resurgence so keeps things interesting at the top...
-
Didn't play well tonight but could have come away with something on a differant day. Just a blip, I blame 'Tap in' for only working for 29 seconds the lazy....
-
I'm just bitter that after the recent success I show up to watch that shower of shit. Stocksbridge deserved to win and their number 7 absolutely ran the show on the wing - he looked like the only semi-competent player on the pitch.
Sure it's just a blip, hugely disappointing though after that fantastic start.

A few pics. Sorry about the poor quality, but my camera just can't cope very well with floodlights. :(

I believe the number seven was Alex Callery. Pilgrims fans of a certain vintage may remember his father Neil playing for us.
Very disappointing performance. Perhaps we scored too early and then allowed complacency to set in. Our forward line was ineffective from minutes two to ninety to inclusive, and it says something that Newsham, Davidson and Yates were all substituted. None of them had good games, but when you're 2-1 down how do the managers legislate for removing the entire forward line? Surely we'd be better off throwing an extra striker on and going for broke?
(For what it is worth I also thought Weir-Daley played poorly tonight. How many times did he get caught offside from wide positions? Looking along the line, a player of his experience shouldn't allow that to happen).
In relation to the original question about the fastest ever Boston goal, I can remember Richard Toone scoring in an opening day Conference fixture after a similar period of time. I think it was against Merthyr Tydfil. It was the first goal of that particular season anywhere, though I'm not sure if it was quicker than tonights. I'm sure Ken's site will answer the question, though I'll leave that for a more sociable time of day.

Played football for 29 seconds tonight after that we were not at the races, had a couple of half chances but their two centre backs snuffed everything out, can't understand why they have leaked so many goals they looked pretty solid at the back, we had plenty of possession second half but Stockbridge still looked the most likely to score, one of those nights i'm afraid.

In space of a week our captin broke his foot, his centeral defence partner tore his hamstring then our manager quit, the No.5 was only his 2nd full game since returing from injury and his partner only signed frideay, at one point we played a back 4 that consisted of a left back and left winger as center defenders a right back at left back and a center midfielder at right back, thats why weve been leaking goals ;)
Out of every team I have seen Steels play you looked the strongest and good luck till next time we meet

Was disapointed I couldn't get last night because of someones commitments and to
some extent that I have to get up at stupid o'clock for work midweek.Leicester Pilgrim
for me always gives an honest assesment of the game from his perspective and he yet
again touches on a point that I know incaptulates players at all levels of the game and
that is COMPLACENCY.
It is an infectious thing that gets into the mind set of players and will long term destroy
good things that have gone before it.From all accounts keeping tabs on the live
commentary last night the lacklustre performance to which we would hope is only a blip
could be the begining of this complacency thing erupting with certain players who think their shirt is safe. The Management preach about this being a squad effort at York Street lets hope and invisage they impliment their policies.
-
the No.5 was only his 2nd full game since returing from injury
How he manages to cart that frame around a football field and always be in the right place at the right time is still a mystery to me. Great performance but I'd liked to have seen him made to turn and run a bit more, I'm sure the back line would soon have become very deep and the game stretched to our advantage.
-
For me in the first 15 minutes or so I thought we played well with Yates in particular having a decent game and I thought their defence looked very wobbly and was there for the taking. From then on until half time we gradually sat deeper and deeper and it was no surprise when they got their equaliser. It was unfortunate that Shaun Pearson's header was cleared off the line just moments before, if that had gone in it was a different game. They did what they did for most of the game, broke with pace and this time scored.
The second was the most disappointing, it had shades of Burscough in the fact it came straight after the equaliser and shades of Lowestoft as Evans and the defence where beaten from an inswinging corner, only difference was that it was flicked in from a tight angle instead of going straight in. So a couple of things to work on there.
Second half was a total non-event. Don't think we had a shot in anger, they had 2 or 3 chances on the break but as a whole it was very dull. LP makes a very good point about Weir-Daley, 3 or 4 times he got caught offside when looking straight down the line in a wide position. A couple of times I was saying hold your run, when it is that obvious to a fan in the crowd it is very poor from a striker of his experience and something he definitely needs to work on.
All in all very disappointing game but like 1 or 2 performances before put it down to 1 of them nights. Credit where credit is due Steels where the better team on the night but if we'd have been on the money I'm absolutely confident we'd have dispatched of them. Lets hope the boo boys don't over-react like the last time we lost.

WP. Looks like we where both watching the same game for a change!
Totally agree with your summary
I was very disappointed with swd. He got caught off side far too often. The linesman was shocking he should have flagged more times than he did!

Is that why we put 4 past you? ;)

I believe Daryl Clare scored in 20 seconds back in March 2005 against Grimsby, thats about the quickest goal I can remember!!

I seem to remember JJ scoring for us within the first few seconds away at notts county one friday night back in the football league i cant remember the exact time though.

That one was timed at 27 seconds according to Pete's match report (http://www.bufc.drfox.org.uk/N071005.html).

Apparently Jimmy Rayner's opening goal in the 12-0 win against Wisbech Reserves (http://www.bufc.drfox.org.uk/C020466.html) in the 65/6 season went in after just 15 seconds.

Slightly off topic - I was talking to a colleague in Kidderminster last week and he remembers the day we went to Aggborough and put 4 past them, or more specifically their keeper - none other than Ben Foster!
Have united ever had more success against a present or future international keeper?!
