Title: v Kiddy
Post by: Tipps End Pilgrim on November 25, 2017, 07:13:28 PM
Terrible first half - sat back and let them play. They should have been three or four up.

Went two down in the second half and you couldn't argue with it. Then we introduced Rollins and Tashimanga and played to our strengths - getting forward and in their faces - pressing, using width - and we managed to get a couple of goals. A good outcome in the end.

Haven't heard the manager's interview so don't know if he was pleased or not but clearly loads to do. Wasn't overly impressed with the new loanees at the back. Ok but no better than Yeoman. The manager likes spitting.

Pretty accurate...
Should their keeper have gone???

Without doubt, it should have been red. He raised his arm and struck his opponent. A no-brainer for me.

Regards the other 89 minutes, I agree with the initial synopsis. Watching from the dugout must have been pretty uncomfortable for the new gaffer, and the realisation of just how huge the task ahead is. He's got his work cut out, that's for sure.

Dreadful for large parts. Fair play for them getting back in the game when it looked for all money we'd not score... But all it does is delay the hiding we'll get at their place

Well. twice now we have been behind in a game and got back in it which is an improvement in my mind. Cannot pass comment on today's game as I was elsewhere with the lad on his 15th birthday. No sodding internet nor radio so had to wait until we got back towards civilisation to hear the score, when the lad said we were two down I feared the worse, but, if we can pick up a draw when we were outplayed then I think we can look towards the second half of the season with renewed hope and optimism.

I think we will turn them over on Tuesday, they had a massive chance today at 2 nil and blew it.

We were totally out played for around 65 to 70 mins.
Kiddys movement had us chasing shadows all over the pitch and their pass selection was very good.
As others have said just couldn't see where a goal was ever coming from.
Then the subs were made and we started to look a threat.
The 2 new defenders didn't look an improvement but they were up against a good side on their debuts so I'll pass judgement for a while.
One massive positive was McGuire what a leader he is on the pitch he never gives up and his work rate and desire should make many of our side hang their heads.
One huge negative was the second Kiddy goal totally unmarked to head home embarrassing to watch.
And our new forward is a very willing runner just needs quality into him.
Lots to work on for the new manager.

 75 minutes poor out classed and out played, 15 minutes we were a decent side, why though Craig didn't introduced Jay a and Kabba earlier I don't know.
There Keeper should have walked, ref bottled that one.
Thompson looks a decent striker but as said earlier he needs the service into him.
Very cold with a poor attendance considering the low admission charge.
The Bovril was nice,and because of the cold weather I had two cups.

I wouldn't describe our play as "terrible" in the first half...we weren't good, but Kiddy were. Kiddy were too sharp for us, their passing was spot on, and they were incisive - with decent finishing they could have scored a couple more. At that stage we had to try and contain them (and only did so with a bit of luck - something we've been short of in recent weeks!). Another attacking player might have helped keep the ball out of our half more. The two new defenders struggled initially, but I guess they'd not had time to train with us. The substitutions should have been made earlier. I think Craig is learning pretty quickly that the job is not easy, but it's better to experiment in a cup competition than in the league where points are vital (we know points will be difficult against the big boys, so we'll have to be up for it when we play the teams nearer us in the league - so a minimum of 4 points is required over our next 2 home games...so let's do our part and support the team properly and save any whingeing until AFTER the games!

I thought Harry Vince looked totally lost from the off, he is still a young lad and will learn from that experience.
It was good to see that our number 8 actually put his arm around his shoulder and gave him some support and advice.
Maguire unlike Chapman didn't start shouting at him when obviously he was struggling.
Maguire was a true leader out there yesterday, and that tackle he put in at the end of first half was what picked us up.

Their goalkeeper should have got his marching orders but can anyone tell me why Thompson got a yellow as well? I can only assume it was either something he said to the ref or he was booked for unsporting behaviour by exaggerating the incident. Obviously the ref thought he was play acting to some extent which explains why he didn`t allow the trainer on the pitch and waved him back.

Thompson said he didn't need the trainer on .he got booked for fouling the keeper

He fouled the keeper and the keeper retaliated with his elbow, a clear sending off and the keeper new it as he smiled at the lino after the decision had been made. A yellow for our number 9 and a red for the keeper would have been the correct decision.

The ref was pathetic, the keeper raised his hand to the head of Thompson in a unprovoked incident.
The ref should have allowed the trainer on in any case, that could have been a neck injury.

By looking at the highlights, it was Clifton who fouled the keeper, all Thompson did was stand in front of the keeper, not a foul in my opinion.
All of the officials didn't look old enough to ref an under 15s match.

Post by: Harriers9 on November 26, 2017, 09:30:53 PM
He didn't just stand in front of him did he though. He put his arms around him as if to get the ball off Hall or to stop him moving. Classed as impeding the goalkeeper.

Admittedly Hall should not have retaliated but it was only a push away with his arm and not an elbow and Thompson went down a little too easily.

Title: Re: v Kiddy
Post by: Pilgrim86 on November 26, 2017, 09:51:30 PM
Contact above the shoulders is classed as violent conduct, and he should have been sent off.

EDIT: Just watched it again - the keeper actually ran into Thompson (due to his momentum from catching the ball). Thompson was protecting himself from being pole-axed (which was still a foul), but then got a forearm to the face for his troubles.

Watch the incident on the highlights, and not through rose tinted spectacles, your thug of a keeper grabs him round the back of the neck and throws him to the ground, if he went down easily so what, your players would have done the same and probably rolled around crying, but hey from what I saw at the end of the game, your players were nearly in tears.
What an embarrassment it must have been for you all, 2-0 to the 2nd from bottom team and drawing 2-2.
Should have took your chances in the first half, but then you failed in that also.
We won't beat you on Tuesday, but who cares anyway, it will just be a extra training session for us.
You play pretty passing football,of you like that sort of thing, but I would work on your defence if I was you, it didn't perform well under pressure, ours doesn't either but we have an excuse for that, we are second from bottom.

Most on your forum see it differently to you and admit it should have been a penalty and a red card .

I think I have to agree .Kidderminster look very pretty to watch but are nowhere near as good as the top 5 and they just played round us.for the 3, games Hawley was in charge I had a little hope that we would be OK but we seen to have lost what little spirit we had .I think the only shock we will see this season is if we stay up.because ifear the worst after watching the last 3 games. We looked so disorganized tonight a good team would have hammered tonight.

what I will say is when we were battling for the play offs we had a quality keeper and at the minute I don't think we have. We concede lots of goals from shots outside of the box or at the near post .

Well done for going Mick. So the new manager has four games under his belt. Hopefully he knows what needs to be done. Surely we can't continue to be this bad. As an aside, is Hawley still going to be playing ?

It's not just the defence though Chubby, our firepower and lack of the threat has been missing all season since Murray brought his players in. The new manager has got a mountain to climb to keep us up and while I have been consistently barking positive messages to fellow fans who have got fed up during the last two seasons I feel that this season now could be the one where we drop down as I cannot honestly see where we are (A) going to create chances from, and (B) a strike force who can finish those chances off. The one positive from tonight is that we'll have the chance to play teams much weaker than that of Kiddy. But the other side of the coin is given current ability could we even finish any of them off ? I feel we are in a dire position and we desperately need some form,creativity and firepower.  Well done to those 10 that went tonight given current form.

One of the officially numbered ten tonight (unsegregated, actually counted at least fourteen but hey ho). Yeah started OK but from their first shot they beat willis at near post. Poor keeping although defending was equally bad to let the lad cut inside two challenges
Never looked like scoring afterwards, second goal was going to happen
Easy win for them

I said on the Facebook page when we signed Willis we'd regret it, I remember that goal JR scored against him on NYD at Gainsborough and nothing I've seen will convince me he's anything but a liability and down there with Dan Haystead as the poorest keeper I've seen down here. In fairness he's not been helped by a porous defence and a midfield that lacks all the basics.
However after a revival of sorts under Karl Hawley we're actually looking a worse team now than under AM which is a sobering prospect. A new manager normally brings in a new manager bounce, but that's not happening here, we've gone into freefall since this guy came in and I'm now wondering if he's been brought in to oversee an NPL rebuilding job next summer. If he has I hope the board are going to provide the funds for this, because it won't be a cheap fix if we do go down.......then the conspiracy theories about the new stadium and it's delivery will go into overdrive.

Yes the trinity must have been delighted to sell us a goalie who could not get in their side that narrowly avoided relegation .

It seemed agreed that the 3 games under Hawley we looked a far better team , well capable of climbing out of the relegation zone .
I wonder what's changed under the new manager that made us go backwards ?     
I suggest he moves Hawley , Hemmings and Willis out (a lot easier said than done ) .

I couldn't agree with you more, I couldn't believe it when we signed Willis and we paid money for him.
I actually think that the chairman has edged his bets here with signings Elliott.
Saturday will tell us everything about him and the team, he has had four games now to tinker and assess, so let's see how it goes.

Grantham's budget isn't small. Not massive but not small. They have lads on 300 a week. Not many but some. And contracted too

Re Willis - couldn't understand the signing. Will be on big money too. And as for paying money for him- bizarre. And Hare too. Paid money and then never played him. Flawed signings that helped seal his fate. Before we even discuss 'best midfielder in the league'. AM has much to answer for

On another note - heard a strong whisper last week linking Greene with NFU. But that's all it was. Chris Bolder new man in charge there

Speaking of keepers and moving on. On Saturday 19th Nov 2016 Dion Curtis-Henry plays what turned out to be his last game for Dennis Greene's Boston, conceding 9 in the defeat at AFC £ylde. Only 11 months later and on Saturday Oct 17th 2017 the same player is on the bench for Roy Hodgson's ¢rystal Palace at home to Chel$ea. As someone once said, "its a funny old game".

To be fair, most of us thought there was little difference between Willis and Nicholson (our other keeper, now keeping bench warm at Halifax)
Keepers are usually judged by how they cope with poor defenders in front of them.
Boston are similar to us (I’m sure you don’t like to see that written down) in that we are both unable to compete with the ridiculous budgets of stupid clubs in this division.
Staying in this division will be success for both clubs (even though your fans think you should be challenging for play offs) and we are both shopping in the cheap end of the market.
The division below will be no respite, although we have beaten both Grantham and Stafford this season, we were second best in both games - and got walloped by Slough and their (alleged) 18k pw  budget

Yet they never reveal where the £750k absolute minimum a season running costs is coming from considering our net income from gates would be approx. £350k max.

We can't compete financially with the big boys, and we're 10th in terms of attendances (an improvement on the 11th place when I last checked a few weeks back).

The landscape of non-league football has changed a lot in the last 20 years - two-up/down from the Football League and the sheer number of cash-cows emerging from the lower leagues means traditional non-league clubs like ours are feeling the squeeze. No point moaning about it - that's the world we live in. We need to hang on in there and strive for a brighter future away from York Street. And a sustainable one at that - many of the clubs with rich owners today will end up on the scrap heap tomorrow. We, on the other hand, won't.

We cant compete, Well not financially with at least half the league. There was managers available that was not intrested in the Boston job, all was saying the budget was not realistic for the club and was only a bottom end budget.

We can't compete financially with the big boys, and we're 10th in terms of attendances (an improvement on the 11th place when I last checked a few weeks back).

The landscape of non-league football has changed a lot in the last 20 years - two-up/down from the Football League and the sheer number of cash-cows emerging from the lower leagues means traditional non-league clubs like ours are feeling the squeeze. No point moaning about it - that's the world we live in. We need to hang on in there and strive for a brighter future away from York Street. And a sustainable one at that - many of the clubs with rich owners today will end up on the scrap heap tomorrow. We, on the other hand, won't.

Very true Pete, we must not go down that road of boom and bust, this club will go forward and be stable in its new home, things are taking much longer to happen than all of us expected.
We will get there in the end, without a massive debt around the club's neck.
If we go down so what, we won't be down for long.
We are Boston and we are fighter's with guts and grit.

So  2-2 draw against Kidderminster at home from two seasons ago was York Street's last ever FA Trophy tie.

There will be a lot of 'last evers' until York Street is vacated and a host of 'first evers' at the new ground.

What new ground, it was never going to be built according to some fans, and now it's never going to be finished, according to those same fans again.
I had one guy at work the other day say that Newton had run out of money and now wanted the fans to finish paying for the ground.
But he is a Posh fan, so probably feeling a little jealous that we are getting a new ground, and he is going to have to keep going to the sh#t hole on London road.
