There's been a massacre.....

Absolute disgrace.......6-1 at half time........Feel sorry for the travelling support.

Lets hope they play for some pride in second half.

Think Dennis may call it a day after this embarrassment, players have let him down but he has to shoulder some of the blame because he signed most of them.

At 9-2 down with ten minutes to play, I'd take a draw at this stage of the game.

Not normally one for knee jerk reactions, but surely we need a change at the top after this humiliation........

The team should be hanging their heads in shame!

Paul Cavell has made a big difference!

The defence has been suspect all season - Dennis brought in Paul Cavell to help (no doubt) to score goals  but what was needed more, was someone to sort out the defence.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Dennis doesn't call it a day after that, we'll done to those that travelled and stayed until the end.

Where does that rank among our worst defeats? Can recall Altrincham a few years ago and Grimsby at home in our last season in League 2.

What a complete load of sh*t. Embarrassing result. Prolonged club loyalty to Captain Greene is sinking the Pilgrims ship. Sorry, but the reduced budget is clearly dictating the standard of player Dennis has brought in, and if ever the club needed a wake up, then today is it. Dennis is not doing his job. He is not getting good enough players to win games. If he was good enough as a manager, and able to better motivate average players, we would not be looking at results like today. Time for the Chestnuts to find their nuts and make a new start. Stop hanging on to a cheap and not always cheerful leader, and find someone who could at least steady the ship, but in doing so, need to recognise the budget isn't getting a good enough standard of player.

Just listened to Dennis on the radio , did we lose 9-2 or 3-2 he seemed very calm and fairly upbeat. It's a funny old game :)

Listened to that interview and got same opinion. Dennis seemed quite calm about things clearly he is staying on with the backing of the Chairman. At the end of the day it is just a defeat we were possibly expecting - although the scoreline is ludicrous. Funny thing is were a still only 14 points off play-offs which I am sure Dennis and the Board still think BUFC can achieve this season - although we are now only 4 points from relegation. Really trying to be optimistic!

Firstly thanks for adding me.

Me and my kids having moved into the area (from staffs) have followed utd for last few seasons, on the whole boston a very good side, well managed and always on the edge of promotion....until we lost all those players last season.

Went to every home game this season and the replacements simply dont cut it, i think greene has been desperate, even playing uknown spaniards that only got into the side as they were potential stars, but proved to flop.

Dont get me wrong i dont think greene is perfect, but hes not been able to replace the players that moved on to higher league sides and thats the problem, and this can only be blamed on the budget set by the chairman.  used to live in and support hednesford town and they went the same way, relegation after no player investment.

Personally, my view is, either the chairman starts spending money on players or risk relegation.

Agree with other posters on here about Den sounding upbeat ,  guess it is down to the vote of confidence he received from the chairman after his threat to leave re: abuse Halifax match ,  think he owes his security to that fan involved .  To add to his confidence the fact that those who are desperate to see him out of the club have failed to nominate a credible candidate for the job .

Difficult to find anything to disagree with on this thread ,  as mentioned is the budget realistic to lift us up the league ?  based on the fact that this part of the country is not prolific in producing footballers of the level required I,d say no .  Those supporters who are constantly questioning why better players have not been brought in obviously are unable to grasp this .    Costly to entice players to travel down here to play .     I think history will prove that DG as done an outstanding job .

TTT echo,s the sentiment of several posters i.e  bigger budget .   
How the league has evolved over the last few seasons some clubs have backers putting in £500k and some much more a year .
I would guess Chestnuts feel they have done their bit for the club over the last decade .

Looking at the predictions most people expected a loss today, although a 7 goal margin is embarrassing  >:(
We were ahead of the league leaders briefly, and scored 2 goals away from home.  A disaster defensively, and going with 3 across the back didn't help matters when we should have parked the bus.
I doubt there's any spare money with the ground development being a priority for the foreseeable future  :dan

Just got back and still shaking with rage over the fact Greene is still our manager, I honestly thought he had resigned at half time because he never got his backside off his chair all the second half to encourage or otherwise HIS team, really thought he had done the honorable thing, and to hear from others on here that he was calm and up beat on radio is a total insult. He was enjoying a pint in the bar at half past one obviously having done everything possible to prepare his team however, I am told he didn't travel on the team bus which seems strange but there we are. Our opening goal to put us one up was a big mistake it got Fylde annoyed and they smacked our bottoms for it. I will be going to Witton next week because I love our club but I do hope the manager will have done the right thing by then and buggered off.

It amazes me that people are still trying to talk things up lets face it even a park Sunday side would be embarrassed by losing 9-2!
We only have a handful of players good enough.I'm afraid.
If the stadium gets built I'm sure we would all like to at least be in this division on the opening day.
Something mr green needs to address by either walking away or turning our chairmans pockets out a little more.
I knew in pre season we would struggle and haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise.

Post by: Pete Brooksbank on November 19, 2016, 09:21:01 PM
I was stood near Greene when he did his interview and he seemed perfectly fine to me.

An absolute disaster of a game for us but with a makeshift defence and a tactical error (in hindsight) playing three at the back, it was always going to be a long day. I don't want to dwell too much on Boston as we all know what the faults are and the injury situation. What I will say is that the Fylde team I saw today was by some distance the best team I have EVER seen at this level. They were absolutely sensational and I think it's important to acknowledge that before ripping into our lads too much. Fylde would easily compete in League Two based on that today. Perhaps even higher. We all know why they have a team that good, and it hurts that we aren't in a position to assemble a similar squad of course, but it was an incredible performance. Well done to them. The bastards.

Also, massive massive kudos to the players for going over and shaking the hands of every fan in the away end too. I'd legged it to the media guys by then so I didn't hear what was discussed, but it was a classy move and would have taken some guts.

history is a key word regards Dennis' achievements. For 2 1/2 years the results and achievements have echoed the fact that Dennis has done a good job. But May 2016 is where that good job stopped. This season has been abysmal. History says we won the NPL 5 times and Conference, but that counts for nothing this season. My point being, you're only as good as you're last few results, and they suck. This season sucks. Whether or not you like the manager, he is in charge, and ultimately he is responsible for today's result. 50 years since we conceded this number of goals in a competative game. If that's good enough for anyone who posts on here, then I'm lost for words. Regarding my budget comments, OK, so we don't have the budget of a lot of clubs in our league, but the drop in quality from last year's players to this year's clearly shows there is a chasm in ability, which can only mean a hugely reduced budget. I agree with your comment saying the Chestnuts would feel they'd done their bit, but please don't lose sight that none if it would have happened without there being a development deal, i.e. the Quadrant. We are a business not hobby club. The Chestnuts wouldnt even be here without that deal. I appreciate there is only so much you can throw at the budget, but surely the crap we are being served this year will turn fans away at and to me they need bringing in, as I'm a great believer that when we are out of town, the gate will drop anyway, so losing more fans now will put even less money in Chestnut pockets further down the line. Time to stop the rot, and either give Dennis a proper budget and accept we're in a bigger budgeted league, get rid of him and bring in a manager who's able to motivate his players better, or, god help us, accept we're sh*t and carry on blindly hoping that we can avoid relegation. Not a good position, whatever you viewpoint is.

Pleased to see Greene got one thing right yesterday ,  i.e  giving  Greg Smith the captains armband ,   our best leader on the field by far .

Don,t do much Prem League myself but one headline caught my eye this week .

Pep Guardiola the Man C boss was reported to have banned his team from sex on a Friday night ,   city won 2 -1 yesterday so it seems to work .     After yesterday maybe Den could impose a player ban on sex from Tuesday night prior to a Saturday match. :) :) :)

If I had the debt around my neck I wouldn't be ploughing money into the playing side. Said it plenty of times already this season, it's all about getting the new ground sorted. Pretty sure the Chairman will be happy with mid-table although wouldn't publicly admit it. The difficulty  most fans have is that of expectation, based on how we have finished in the last two seasons. It's hard when all of a sudden we're not beating teams who we beat last year.

Also pretty sure DG only signed a two year contract in May. On that basis, sacking him would mean he would need to be paid off - money that could otherwise be better spent. Then we get someone else in (with the same budget as DG?) and there's no guarantee he/she will be any more successful. What if we ended up with another Graham Drury ? After all, he was the Chestnuts first choice ahead of DG a couple of seasons ago.

DG has a proven track record with Boston and you don't become a bad manager over night. Hopefully the lack of funding is the cause of the decline. And funds aren't always easy to come across. It's ok for fans to start saying the Chestnuts should put their hands in their pockets but it's not as easy as that. What if they simply can't afford it? Sustainability is key in football although plenty do not care where the money comes from or even whether it's going to last. There'll always be highs and lows. The lows are just difficult to take.

A very constructive post ,  far more so than the usual call for a bigger budget and no suggestions as to how the money will be generated .   Farcical comments at regular intervals BUFC F/B    i.e where,s the Mills money gone?   :dan      Another seemed amazed that Greene failed to sign a number of players from the £1 increase in admission , I guess he,s no accountant .!!!      Another said that Greene has a realistic budget but fails to reveal what it is .

Greene offered to go but DN refused his offer ,  maybe recalls the quality of applicants in the past and considers Greene a safer pair of hands . 

DN said he had given Greene a small increase in budget .   What has happened is a dramatic change in the make up of the league i.e. teams with big financial backing .  As TEP says many have to grasp reality and accept we are no  longer in the "big boys " of the league .
Like any other business when you get teams with money market forces come into play and pushes wage demands up .   What would be a decent budget last season will fall short this season .  York City will maybe with us next season with a £400k parachute payment in the back pocket so things will get no easier .

That is what I was told however I believe that was not the case, frankly I don't see it is our business what he was drinking the point I was making was why he wasn't with the team at 1-30. Anyway I have had enough so will not bother posting again when I have made the effort to go and watch them perform like that much easier to sit at home and guess what has happened, and cheaper.

He was enjoying a pint in the bar at half past one obviously having done everything possible to prepare his team

Please confirm, was Greene really drinking alcohol at 1:30pm before a 3pm KO? Or have I read this wrong.

Thank you.

Good to get the correct story , thanks for that Mel .      I agree re; DG ,   players go out to warm up at 2.00 ,  I would have though 30mins going through match strategy at 1.30 would be useful .

1.   Less travel for him .
2    Do we have more pressing needs (defenders ?)
3    Doubt if York would let him come .
4    Could we afford him ?

Yeah because we are really great going forward :-\ At least we'd have an outlet. And does he live in Stockport

No, he lives in York the last I heard ,  also think the three observations I made may well be applicable .
Can,t see York letting him come at a price we can afford after they paid us a fee for him , also we could not be able to compete with Stockport for wages .

I agree with you, and if I may add another reason, why would an up and comer sign for us under the current ciurcumstances when a bigger club, albeit playing at the same level, comes along?

We've scored 2 goals in each of our last 4 games. It's not an area we are struggling with.

A short response that contains a profound message .    Hope the DG knockers and "give us a bigger budget "  army  note TTTs comment "bigger club".    Many who are still dreaming that we are the big boys who every player wants to play for ,  will be horrified by this comment .   If instead of living this dream they should scrutinise the finances of all the clubs in this league . Then observing a map of England work out why the Boston manager whoever he may be has  more difficulty than other clubs  recruiting part time  players who have to retain a full time job .    I think the outcome makes it difficult to make a case for Boston finishing in the top ten in the league placing in the near future .
Rather than indulge in this project which they may find daunting I suspect they will put their head in the sand and resume and revert to " sack the manager,  give us a bigger budget Chestnuts ."   Them again they may prove me wrong and come up with a perfectly feasible plan to give the manager a workable budget .
