Well, what can I say?
I thought we were clueless and classless.
I think Denis has to take action before we really are in the Sh*t.
I know it is a completely new team, but I saw nothing there to inspire me.
I know I will get slagged off by the happy clappers, but give me some hope.
Aside, I thought the pitch was a disgrace, bring back Nobby. I know our number ten had a minger, but some of the racist remarks I heard were out of order. I did not see who said them but if I did I would have pointed him out to a steward.

With a settled squad from the previous year we lost 0-3 on our opening day last year...
So today was an improvement.
(Happy Clapping at its finest)
There were a few bright moments. ..
Colly will have better games. ....surely?
-
On a lighter note...
Just how bad was the celtic free kick that landed in the glider car park?
-
Class as individuals, poor as a team. Give it time

Our manager must have gone to a different game to what I saw at York street this afternoon, I left with 10 minutes without added time on to go, and on the way home I heard our manager say that Boston Utd played good passing football, well all I can say I must have left to early, Boston to me played like they had never played together before, Stalybridge are just a physical side who like it being in the air, we obliged them by continually heading and thumping the ball the ball high.
We got a deserved penalty, but our number 9 penalty taker then decided to just back pass it to the goalkeeper , our number 9 also had two or three good header chances throughout the match , which he fluffed, I fear for the team at Harrogate come Tuesday night, they will have to vastly improve to today's display.Well, what can I say?

Sounds about the same as it was in February and we were told it was all over , and yet we got it turned round , Lot better position now , got 41 games to regain the three points we are behind the leaders Kiddy .
Lets put it down to BREXIT . ;)
-
Defence was OK, except the mistake that lead to the goal. Would've played Roberts over Hilliard - we had nobody to pick a proper pass (not loop the ball over the top).
St Juste and Rollins played well, just that final ball was lacking accuracy - the times a striker was found, we missed by inches or the keeper made a good save.
We will play worse and pick up point. Impressed with Fairhurst (finally) - on another day he gets the equaliser.

Fair assessment Ken .
Hillihard had one of his games when he put almost every pass out of play or to an opponent . Once he starts a bad patch in a game he never recovers . only option is to sub him .
"Boston to me played like a team who had never played together before " That is a fact , certainly the first time they,ve played together in competitive match .
-
I thought Maguire had a very good game, the rest were average, but we certainly need to improve in our next game.
-
Ok my two pennorth,defence were ok,one mistake and we were punished.. St.Juste is a typical winger,play the ball and then look who is there,had he passed along the floor too Jay it was a simple tap in,five mins later he played that type of ball and the defence were back... Lammin to me needs to become more of a team player and get involved,also someone with his pace should not need to get caught offside (some weren't by the way,lino and ref seemed to go with the shout)..
Waide did more in the time he was on that some did all match so hopefully he gets to start next match,looked lively and was prepared too shoot.... MGuire looked solid at the back and composed which was needed..
Dipdodah,I never heard the racist comments but they are bang out of order,I thought Marshall gave his all and even when injured he still made a run down the line to try and get a cross in,that is the commitment any team needs,sacrificed his own pain to help the team... Why just pick on one player though when we have half a team that are black? Stupid racist springs too mind and it would help everyone if he kept away,particularly as we were involved in the same thing last season,some fans are really trying to set the club back a few years and get us a bad name (again).
Overall today I saw nothing that cannot be fixed quick and no knee jerk panic is required,it will come good and didn't I say a few weeks back that we may lose a few before we gel properly and let us not lose heart??
-
Well that didn't take long for the knee jerk, panic station, negativity to take hold, now did it !
Considering that they came to spoil, knowing that if they took the lead that they would then slow it all down, time waste and frustrate, i couldn't see many other teams in this league then going on to beat them with those boring tactics. We just need to learn how to deal with these sort of teams, but then too does the refs, who was very poor today on his judgement. But no excuses, Stalybridge did a job on us. As for our team, when we get Brown back, and with Smith up top, i strongly believe that we will see a totally different team, one that will create a lot more.
I expected the boo's today though, sadly this seems to be an element that has attached itself to the club the last few years. Wasn't it Chas and Dave that sung 'ain't no pleasing you', a very apt song to dedicate to them on the pre match play list. Go on club, i dare you to play it ;D lol
-
I get the impression that some on here just want us too fail and gloat when we lose,sad really but that is how they come across....
Loved the way the ref stopped his watch when they were slowly making their last substitution and then started it three seconds later,what a joke lol ... Also,how were they allowed to take an offside free kick in our half ? (mind you,we did same late on lol) They take a corner on the right then same player has to walk to left back position to take a throw in and the officials just wait,cannot see many officials doing that each week..
Oh,as for the yellow when Lammin was clattered in the box,I wasn't aware of the rule change until half time,apparently it is a red outside the box but yellow inside this season,what a farce,a last man foul should be red no matter where the offence happens,just hope the next penalty we get someone will lace the bugger into the back of the net instead of passing back to the keeper...

I could name one person who has already got it in for us and the club this season, lol. Luckily, they stamped their feet and stayed away today, no names :bunny
-
Fairhurst needs to start Tuesday and possibly Wildin , team average at best today
-
the result could have been completely different if it hadn't been for one of the poorest penalty kicks EVER seen at YS....
For goodness sake,a penalty kick aint rocket science......put the ball on the spot, take a LONGGG run up and whack the ball into the net!

Having seen Chippendale take the penalty at Stamford, I was surprised he didn't take the one today. Pity he didn't.
-

he reminds me of Mark graves. Not the biggest centre half but good in the air and positionally very aware of what's around him. Good signing.

also Lewis took and scored them last year when Dayle injured, so why not him today?

Maguire was my MOTM,good in the air,good distribution,never panicked under pressure and always looked to play the ball too feet,him and Nat will make a good partnership..
-
Biggest negative for me was that we didn't have any apparent leaders on the pitch - someone vocal, organising and taking responsibility. We need this above all else. Most of the players seem ok ability wise though and should have more end product when they get some confidence.
Heard that Brown could be out for a further month. Don't think we can rely on someone of his age for the whole season. We need a big bruiser ready for when we play Halifax and hat trick man Denton.

Maguire has certainly vindicated Greee,s decision to let Scott Garner to leave .

Here's the usual link to the public photo album on Facebook with some snaps from the game:

I'm a bit rusty with the camera after the off-season break, but there are a few half decent shots in there - including the flypast by the RAF's latest hi-tech kit. :)
-
Heard someone in the stand say it was the ref's first game in Conf North after being promoted; apparently he's being 'fast tracked' by the FA as he's 'one for the future'. God help us!
-
another new season ahead and yet another very poor ref and officials. time wasting by Stalybridge was never acted upon most of the game.
-
Could well be a long season indeed as nothing I witnessed yesterday blew me away and made me think any different from what I witnessed in the friendlies. (see my old post 'Pre season and I'm worried')
Yes the ref was poor the grass was short and the team is new...oh yea and it was hot.
BUT
Lost count of the number of corners we had and never felt like we would score from one if we were still playing now.
Only plusses for me were Fairhurst was sharp when he came on and looked up for it.
McGuire is solid...Jay was the biggest threat we had.
As much as Green likes Hlliard as his playmaker he gives us absolutely nothing when the opposition have it and we play like having one in the middle of the park.
Get Robbo back out there and lets play 4-4-2 at home.
Ill be at Harrogate just hope we can dig something out but fear the worst.

only partly related but I was told he was a lino when Chorley beat us with that overhead kick and pennos a couple of years back.
-
On the balance of play we deserved at least a point. It was a team with a lot of new players and that was evident from our play, hopefully we'll learn from this and improve.
We won a lot of corners and had a lot of crosses into the box from deep but never looked like doing anything with them, if Brown or Smith where available we might have had a chance with the balls into the box but they weren't and it was all to easy for Stalybridge to defend.
A few small changes for Tuesday and we've got a good chance to get some points on the board. Colley didn't look up to, certainly not a player capable of scoring 20+ at this level and not particularly good in the air for a tall man. Fairhurst looked much more threatening in the few mins he had and should start Tuesday. Maguire was our only decent defender. Pepe-Ngoma isn't enough of a presence to play centre half, thought he did ok as a holding midfielder against Peterborough. Put round pegs in round holes and put Thomas the right back at right back, get the left back off the bench and play him at left back, if Brown is fit play him rather than Pepe-Ngoma, if not then put Price at centre half.
-
The Premier League kick off next Saturday . I predict that for many weeks to come a few top managers in that league will be pleading that it takes time to bed new players in . Can anyone suggest how Greene can get a whole new team with 4 hours training a week working as a unit , on a shorter time scale than Prem teams with a few additions in full=time training ?
-
not particularly good in the air for a tall man
Why do people assume tall players should be good at heading the ball? He's not strong enough to be a target man. His main strength is receiving the ball to feet, turning and running at goal. He did this a couple of times yesterday, and looked dangerous when he did.
He's not suited to running onto a through ball, especially when they are overhit or just lofted - like most of them yesterday. Give him the ball on the ground!

I really do hope that's not aimed in my direction but just to clarify;
I chose to miss the game because I wanted to be with my daughter who was taken into hospital last night.
I also made a choice to watch the cricket as I much prefer it to 6th rate football.
Quite how you come to the conclusion I've 'got in in for' anyone or anything is hard to fathom, but perhaps you'd like to name those names you believe don't sing off your hymn sheet.I'm now in my 40th season of supporting the club and find these snipes from faceless individuals a little hard to take, no one wants success for BUFC more than me, if you don't have the courage of your convictions to put your name to these comments please retract them.

Real concerns , only 41 matches left and 3 points behind leaders ::)
Lets look for positives ,
After being poor in PSF Fairhurst comes on and made impact as you say . Others will do the same hopefully.
Maquire along with a fit Nat Brown will make a better pairing than Pidge and Garner , less yellow and red cards, and more importantly the ball will be past out of defence instead of hoofed .
Corners were wasted , real hope that the return of Brown and Smith will eliminate this .
Get Robbo back ... who is Robbo?
Turning the clock back 2 seasons I don,t recall anyone predicting Southwell to become a Div 2 player , what I do recall is most of us saying that Kaine Felix was only good enough for a sqaud player at best .
Thats the real hope , there,s things there that football people can see and the fans don,t .

I thought Maguire had a very good game, the rest were average, but we certainly need to improve in our next game.
he reminds me of Mark graves. Not the biggest centre half but good in the air and positionally very aware of what's around him. Good signing.
I agree, Maguire looks the best of the new signings, though I think you mean Mark Greaves and not Graves. There was a Mark Graves as well, but he played against us and for Wealdstone in the 1985 FA Trophy Final. By the way, I see there's another thread currently running about "feeling old". Apart from Nat Brown, were any of Boston's squad even born when we went to Wembley?

Seems we do agree on most things after all.
Having been a semi pro player and manager for many seasons I feel I am what you could call a 'football person' and also a fan.
See you at Harrogate.
-
Also,how were they allowed to take an offside free kick in our half ? (mind you,we did same late on lol)
Another rule you're not aware of....although it did help that we were sat next to the ref assessor. If a player is offside and runs back into his own half to play the ball, he is offside where he plays the ball.

Looking back at a recent shrimpers thread it seems most likely he meant Ryan Robins .
-
Missed Saturday so tonight will be my first attempt at learning the new names/faces. Will be interesting with the 3G pitch as I'm sure it will be an advantage to play them so early on it. Hope we can get something positive, get off the mark with goals scored and points earned, I'm not expecting play offs this season but given my predictions have been pretty poor in recent years I'm not the man to ask.
And at least with the change in surface Dennis can wear those shoes again with a bit more confidence!

I assumed as he mentioned Hilliard's ineffective performance in the previous sentence, he meant to bring in Roberts instead. I'd do the same.

My comment was aimed at no particular person Andy,just a comment to those who are saying doomed after one game,we didn't exactly hit the ground running this time last year and turned it around...

Well, what can I say?
I thought we were clueless and classless.
I think Denis has to take action before we really are in the Sh*t.
I know it is a completely new team, but I saw nothing there to inspire me.
I know I will get slagged off by the happy clappers, but give me some hope.
I stand by the above :(

A new team, decimated by injuries?
Were you really that surprised today?
It's a transitional season - if every defeat is going to end up with hysterical overreaction, this place is going to be my second least favourite website to visit after my online banking.

It's a transitional season - if every defeat is going to end up with hysterical overreaction, this place is going to be my second least favourite website to visit after my online banking.

I'll get called a happy clapper at some point....
I'm not! But I do feel Greene deserves a bit of a break, for now. I get why some people have taken a dislike to him but as I've said on other threads, overall he's been a solid manager and has managed his resources well.
We're probably not getting promoted this season, let's face it. But what I would like to see are more updates from the club regards the new ground and the future - I think patience with austerity Boston is starting to wear thin, but that needn't be the case if we had more of an idea exactly where we are on this long journey back to the Conference. I feel the long term vision has been lost. People would be more willing to accept defeat if they knew where it fit into the grand scheme of things, and how it was part of a wider 'vision'...
Kudos to the fans who travelled today, by the way.

Completely agree with you on this. Seems the club don't share the same views on transparency and openness. They are however quite happy to take more money from us fans. A fans forum would be an ideal platform to discuss the points you've raised. Seems like quite a while since I attended the last one. I walked out feeling the heiracy of the club was a closed book only willing to tell us what they were prepared to and quite happy to keep us mere mortals in the dark.

I don't want to make it look like I'm having a pop at the club - I'm sure they're working hard behind the scenes. But just something official along the lines of "bear with us, we're doing X, Y Z etc" might help temper immediate expectations and get people behind the 'plan'. We all know we will never compete with the Fyldes, but we don't want to go down that road anyway. Let 'em launch and burn - but let's at least get people behind our own version of the roadmap, or whatever it's called.

Well Pete it appears you have a new best friend. I don't see a "hysterical overreaction " on here yet and my following reaction is in no way hysterical. I think it is fair to say that having traveled 300 miles I and the others who traveled deserved better. I accept the fact we are crippled with injuries but surely those that turned out for us are supposed to be first team players. The first half today for half an hour was played out by two poor looking teams but we were as likely to score as they were and then as appears to be the norm this season they score and follow it quickly with another. Two nil reads as though we made a game of it but make no mistake we were lucky it wasn't four or five. Yes I will carry on with my support particularly at home from now on but the time has almost arrived when some of the dross needs clearing out.

i fully expected us to struggle this season.
how a manager (any manager) is expected to get 14 new players in, then get 5 of them injured (i know one or two were pre season) and then get them to play in a wonderful way is stretching it a bit.
i have only seen the two home games so i bow to those who make the long journeys.

Can't face the 8 hour round trips at the moment so decided to take in a local FA Cup game today - Wisbech Town v Peterborough Sports. Very comfortable away win (1-4). Witnessed Mark Jones playing well below where he should be. He'll score a hatful at that level. His brother Richard also played but was rarely troubled in defence - along with Sam Vince in goal. Adam Millson played right back for Wisbech.
Big game for us next Saturday at home to Kidderminster - especially as we seem so fragile on the road. Greene needs to get some loanees in if he hasn't got any suitable personnel - how about some big bruisers from Peterborough, Northampton, Cambridge reserves.
Could this be a relegation season ?

The Jones brothers went for more money.
Shame Adam Millson is playing as low as that....
And no to your final sentence.

Den wants to get himself sorted out as well.Not nice to read how upset Liam Marrs was after treatment from Greene last week! Liam was loyal to the club .

Just read the report in the Non-League paper of yesterday's game - the headline states that Boston "lack fight" and the write-up describes us as "shot-shy." Supporters' views will always be a bit clouded, but remember this is a journalist's view and shout be honest, rounded and unbiased.
Yes, we had a number of injuries yesterday and that didn't help us. But when the fringe players get their opportunity, personally I want to see them show "more fight" as opposed to less - they need to be making their point to the manager that they should be starting matches. If this bunch of players aren't doing that, then they need to be shipped out asap and we need to get others in.
I'm not worried (yet) about relegation. I'm sure Dennis will do what he needs to do to turn things around and if he doesn't I have faith that David Newton will end Dennis's tenure long before we face relegation. But one win from five isn't good enough. Four goals from five isn't good enough. Nine goals conceded from five isn't good enough. One meaningful effort on goal in the whole of yesterday's game (according to the NLP) isn't good enough. So if you're reading this Dennis, you do need to act.

The most lifeless performance I've seen from us under Greene. 1 shot in 90 mins and totally stopped doing the basics as soon as they scored. They were average. Scored with their first effort and got the pen with their 2nd. The 2nd half was as turgid as you'll see from two sides. they were happy to kill time and we lacked any quality whatsoever. They would still have scored 4 or 5 had it not been for Dibble, the bar and poor finishing
I'd rather we got smashed 7-2 and had a go than that garbage served up yesterday. I'll never blame players for a lack of passion and desire etc (it's the most bollocks excuse ever) but a total lack of ability and team cohesion and mental strength was definitely on show

A lot of work at Cranwell before Kiddie game by the sounds of it

Where did you read this ? Links ?? There seems to be a lot of posts of late which are of the accusing kind, but very little in the way of evidence. So it would be nice if we can see some provided, thanks. I am not doubting anyone, just be nice to read what you are reading. Not heard a thing about this from his dad !

Exactly Mel , as said by leftback these vague comments / allegations should be backed up by some evidence .
Seems a bit odd in any case seeing that Liam did 3 trips a week consisting of around a total of 800/900 miles to play for Greene .

Liam and his dad are class acts, and never lower themselves into some of our petty arguments. I am just left flabbergasted with the recent attacks on the Chestnut's though, after all they have done for this club of ours and now we are seeing some unsubstantial claims that are not backed up with evidence that they are somehow not going to be seeing their project through with this club of ours, or as some are claiming, a hint of corruption will arise. With each claim we keep hearing, be it about players, Den, or the owners, there is always a plea for solid evidence, which to this day, after years of the same people making the same claims, not one single piece of evidence has been provided. I can see us with no club soon if this keeps on, people will walk away, including our owners ! Then we'll be left with a phoenix club, which so many fans slate, so will they then refuse to support when it could actually be all their own doing. Lets support this bloody team of ours, from its backroom staff through to the players and management, and if the time comes where the chairman decides its time for change, then we'll all need to accept it and keep our support up. But come on folks, do not doubt Mr Newton and Mr Kempster and do not play a part in destroying this club.

Brian mentioned it on FB.But didn't want too say much because he's not like Den!

Well said Mel, I also heard a whisper from someone connected. Did not surprise me, but team matters are Greene's main concern, maybe he should concentrate on that
-

Come on KON, if you know something, at least let it out in the open. So far, i have read plenty of claims,yet no evidence and clearly we need evidence to form a better judgement on all aspects if as we are told, the gaffer is always in the wrong. I am not saying you are right, i am not saying you are wrong, i am saying lets see claims backed up with solid evidence. I do get the feeling at times though, that most things that were allegedly said over the last year were actually the result of Chinese whispers. Just my opinion of course !

Today 5 minutes before kick off the manager came into the stand and had a pop at me accusing me of starting the above thread which I clearly did not, indeed as can be seen what I did do was try to end it. I was upset by his actions and the manner in which he would not listen to my answers to his accusations and stormed off leaving me looking embarrassed and facing a load of question from those around me.
I can take criticism but do not expect the manager climbing into the stand to confront me whilst his team are lining up in the tunnel to enter the field of play, I would have expected his thoughts at that time would be on more important things. I consider myself to be a committed supporter who travels to most games and am a season ticket holder and it sad therefore that I will not be bothering again while ever this man is manager.
-
Well said Oxo.
Behaviour like that has no place at the club, I thought we'd seen the back of it when Evans went.
I hope David Newton reads this and has a word.
-
This is the worst team we have had since the Gregg Fee team before Evans came. Greene has done a good job until this season, but has well and truly cocked it up this season. Think the whole club is going stale and think needs fresh blood for manager. Would like to see us employ a manager like Bazza who could get some pride in the shirt again.

As any regular contributor to patter will know OXO will come on to praise the manager and players on good displays , like wise when performances do not meet his expectations he expresses his disapproval in a respectable manner . I always enjoy a discussion with him on the terraces , like me he prefers talking about positives .
Like many supporters I have not a clue what this DG v LM business is all about . I cannot see where OXO has anything to answer for on the subject .
To me it appears the way Dennis addressed OXO today was way out of order .
-
Sorry to hear about ths shambolic behaviour towards you Mel. Anyone that knows you, knows what a great ambassador and dedicated fan you are. When will the club eradicate this disease from our club.
In the meantime I guess we wait to hear from his right hand man on here for a statement. No doubt he'll be asking for proof ::)
-
Disgusting let's hope Mr Newton has a word with him!

We don,t know yet if he has cocked it up , remember with only 15 matches to go last season we where told by some that we had missed the play-offs .
Credit for putting forward a name as a replacement , something that others have failed to do .
Any idea how Bazza would go about recruiting new players , or would he knock the existing one,s into shape when most the squad are fit .?
-
Recruiting players? How many players has den seen before he signs them?
-
Disgusting let's hope Mr Newton has a word with him!
I agree, Mr Newton should be having words with a few people, including those stating that this new stadium won't now happen !
-
Recruiting players? How many players has den seen before he signs them?
Don,t know , but judging on his 3 full seasons here it works however he does it .
Might be a good idea to ask him if you are keen to know .
-
Have always been a Greene fan even though I wish he would keep his mouth shut more. He has signed 3 injury prone players who won't have come cheap as well as about 6 wingers. Who is going to take these off the wage bill to get new players in?
Also in what other job can you get away with having a go at your loyal paying customers without getting the sack? Once or twice can be accepted as heat of the moment, but before the game when you should be focusing on winning a football match is not acceptable.
As for Bazza always seems to have a lot of respect from other players/ managers and after 20plus years around this area and level he must have some contacts and no I can't think of any successful goalkeepers as managers either.

You often get some unsavoury characters at footie grounds..

Re: your last paragraph , I think Boston,s ongoing recruitment problem is there is not enough local talent to build the basis of a good squad . Having to ship in players from a distance soon eats up the budget .
Easy to select targets on a keyboard , different matter landing them .
Greene will not be here forever and I think the next manager to follow will probably make us realise what a decent job Greene has done building teams . Who was the last manager with a record to compare with Greene,s .?
-
Agree Greene has a good record, but every football manager has a shelf life just look at Mourinho at Chelsea and Pearson at Leicester.

Agree , and this season maybe the end of Green,s , but it can,t be judged at this stage .
As I indicated I think in time many will reflect that they underestimated what DG as achieved .

Thought Fees league teams were pretty good , didnt they finish runner up to Barrow 1998 ish
Lot of United favorites in that side ..

Conversion of striker -defender could be useful..
Worked well for Cloughie with Burnsie ..

Can't think either mentioned above lost a full squad over a summer.
Only Jay today was a player from.last season.
There were also 3 new starters today.
We played a full time squad who have been very successful away from home so far. Scoring 9 I believe.
They did not score today ..we scored for them!
Our "dodgy defence" kept a clean sheet (sort of)
I thought there were a few green shoots of hope emerging...just maybe
-
no way after all the players leaving would we be challenging for a play off place , being in the top ten will be an achievement . With his record here DG should be left to get on with it , I don't agree with all the stick he gets and with social media how it is it's not gonna help him or the team . I stopped going when fatty took over to me DG has been like a breath of fresh air

I remember the great game in the cup at Chester ( then a league team ). We battered them, got beat 1-0 and their goalie received man of the match. Great day out.

Sorry to mislead you Ted , I was a moaner in those days , only noted the downside :)
Recall us having a home win in cup against Northwich Vic about that time , Uria Rennie reffed the match . Familiar with many Boston players as they came from Sheffield like himself . Saw him spectating on Spayne Terrace on one occasion when there was no top matches .

The comparison between points achieved last year vs this year was often quoted last season during the run-in by Dennis, in a "don't write us off yet" type way.
Well, doing the same, last year vs this year...
2015/6 p7 w3 d1 l3 f9 a10 pts10 10th
2016/7 p7 w1 d1 l5 f6 a13 pts4 17th
So based on last year's play-off points tally of 71, we only need to gain 67 more pts from 35 games.
That's 20 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses.
As the post says, it's gonna be a long season.

Sadly I think we will be saying the same thing this time next season .
-
Well, what can I say?
I thought we were clueless and classless.
I think Denis has to take action before we really are in the Sh*t.
I know it is a completely new team, but I saw nothing there to inspire me.
I know I will get slagged off by the happy clappers, but give me some hope.
Aside, I thought the pitch was a disgrace, bring back Nobby. I know our number ten had a minger, but some of the racist remarks I heard were out of order. I did not see who said them but if I did I would have pointed him out to a steward.
I have had to wait till nearly the end of the season to retract this statement.
Well done lads, deserved winners today.
And the pitch was the best it as been all season.

Takes balls to admit you are wrong, good on ya, respect.
