A win and a clean sheet makes for a great start to the season. Not the most exciting match but pleasing in the way the defence nullified the threat of Thompson who was replaced on 77 mins by Felix who was equally well contained. Willis may have seemed a strange choice for the captaincy but it seemed to work and I can't remember him having a shot to save. Andre Johnson replaced Jonny Margetts on 69 mins and his injection of pace almost led to an immediate breakthrough. 5 mins later he eluded the last defender and scored what would be the only goal of the game.

Good opening day workout. Both teams will get better .
A lot more enjoyable than last seasons opening game!

3 pts and a clean sheet in the bag. We're up and running. Average game. Good result.

Why was Andre taken off suddenly? Was he injured? If so, I am sure we all wish him a speedy recovery.

That was arnold
-
Had visions before the match of Reece losing his footing in front of the town end and then converting the penalty, relieved that didn't happen today!

Arnold was taken off and replaced by Nicky Walker, no injury just a straight replacement.

Well a good win and a credible performance, l would like to give Harris and Jackson a special mention.
Both of these lads have never played at this level before and Harris played out of position, they both did tremendously Welland did not look out of place.
Reece Thompson has no desire to play at Guisley, he didn't want to try and play the way we know he can.
I feel sorry for the lad, if anyone saw him walking off after the game, you could see the smile on his face, and he only wants to be at Boston.
He had no choice to stay there, and that's what he said to me.
Be a shame to see him go down hill at Guisley, they don't really want him, but don't have the money to replace him.
-
Short and sweet, a cracking win and points is all that matters one game in. Far too early to judge players or give them a hard time, give this team time to gel and I believe that success isn't going to be far off. Belief mode is installed 8)

Agree that he wants to be playing somewhere else. However the player needs to have a really good look at himself. Yes he's fiesty & fiery & he has over time disgruntled the majority of the Guiseley fanbase with his attitude.
As regards finance Guiseley have pots of it. Look how much was invested in that team last season!! Cox & a certain Mr A Murray had top drawer players on incredible money, including a certain D. Southwell, yet a well financed budget was squandered & mismanaged & the FL dream became a relegation nightmare for them. Don't forget they still are backed by wealthy investors & also have a 6 figure parachute payment + the Dayle transfer fee. They could comfortably afford any non league striker the current manager wanted. However the clubs directors do not want any more cash wasted. Yes Reece did v well for us in this league & that's why they pushed Us to hard for a big fee. That's what killed the deal. One CE made it clear to them he wasn't paying the asking price. That sold Southwell, decided to keep Thompson, & got him to make his club website appeal for fans to get behind the club. It was a pa disater & most Guiseley fans online derided RT even further. Don't be surprised to c him back out on loan b4 Christmas.

Here's the link to the usual Public Facebook Photo Album with a few snaps from the game.

I nearly fell asleep at times in the match, but good result in the end. I see the standard of the league has not changed, bully tactics and poor referees.
We tried to play football, but we need protection. When we did try to stick up for ourselves they always got the decision. Good result and fair gate for a summers day.
-
Bit harsh, yes it wasn't the best but certainly not the worst. Both teams work rate was excellent, I struggled to stand in it let alone run for 90 minutes so im giving credit to both teams. The players will gel better im sure, and it could have been 0-0, or 0-1 so it was nice to get the run of the green and nick three points. I cannot see Guiseely being a push over by anyone so a good three points.
-
Guiseley's twitter quotes during the match: -
Not much action so far but the referee has a word with Reece Thompson after a rash tackle.
The hosts nearly take the lead but it's a good save from Green to preserve his clean sheet.
A good run from Liburd earns The Lions a corner. It nearly leads to a goal but somehow Boston manage to clear the danger.
A superb tackle from Halls denies Johnson from taking a shot when one on one with Green.
GOAL! @bostonunited 1-0 Guiseley. The hosts take a deserved lead through Johnson's calm finish.

"6 figure parachute payment " where did they get that from ?

Yes I was wondering where that had come from, isn't that the football league only.
Maybe I am wrong but looking at what was on show from Guisley yesterday I don't think they have any players that set this league on fire.
I don't see them as a threat at all, they will be lucky to be out of the bottom half of the table all season.
-
No Parachute Payment at this level. Also Southwell was sold on the cheap as Guisley would struggle to meet the wages. There a well balanced club with a bit of money thrown in but are by no means a rich club. They have wealthy backers but they dont throw it in like most
-

Arnold was taken off and replaced by Nicky Walker, no injury just a straight replacement.
Think that was tactical to cover against Kane getting away, Nathan had run out of steam so it was a sensible substitution :)
-
great all round performance by Boston Utd thats 3 points on the board and clean sheet,as for Guiseley yesterday nothing special to watch, Reece Thompson didnt show the desire like he has shown for The pilgrims,
-
I thought it was entertaining game myself, even though game was not allowed to flow because Guiseley kept falling down and screaming and referre gave them everything, hope we don’t get him a lot like we did last season.
Reece Thompson showed what he’s best at, lazy, cheating, moody and a rash challenge maybe had a couple off flashes of being bothered but no end product, cannot see what the obsession is with him.

Good post. Yes they were spoilers & deffo came for the point, that in itself tells u how strong we now r under Craig. Loved his post match interview. Also a recent interview in sleaford target where he sets out his long term vision for the club under him. He talks of the friendship he's developing with the Cowleys @ Sincel bank. Plus all other FL managers in fair distance for loaning/selling us players. "I build bridges he says, down the line u just never no when we might need each other".
Yes RT, look if he'd scored say 8/11 goals in 14...18 games u would say sign him up. He was with us for a reason.....Guiseley c a talent in there but it's shrouded as u say by lazyness, arrogance & immiturity . Do hope he sorts himself out before it's too late.

I think the relationship is more with Lincoln City than the Cowleys. I think Lincoln are looking to have CE in their sights when the Cowleys go onto better things.

I am sorry but did you actually watch Reece play for us last season,if you did my friend you must have had your eye's closed, that lad run his ass off every game,won us numerous penalties and scored some important goals, before he arrived we we're relegation fodder.
He chased down every lost cause and often got us something out of it, so before you slag him off just remember he was one of CE additions that played a massive part in getting us safe and nearly into the play offs.
He played with passion, aggression, ability,sheer bloody minded determination to win us games, and believe me if he wasn't still under contract at Guisley he would now be with us,doing what he does best,being an absolute pest to the opposition.
Good luck to the lad we owe him a big thank you.

and he was cheered off by the Boston supporters when he was subbed.

Totally agree with that YC. Yes his grit, skill & guile did play a big part in our remarkable turn around in fortunes post AM. Let's face it 4 pts adrift week b4 Xmas we we're down! He was one player in a group of 18 or so that responded to Craig's battle Cry. He desperately wanted away from a team one step below the FL & they had cash 2 burn?? He upset the majority of the Guiseley fanbase & one or 3 others at the club. As we r saying he did v well 4 us in his spell. A player with ability, not the real deal yet, & let's face it if he was a Dayle or Ricky he would have been snapped up quickly by a bigger budget club....contract or no contract at Guiseley. If they hadn't been so greedy DN would have let Craig sign him pre season. Finally, & yes I rate his ability, what's to say if he did get a years deal with us that he wouldn't have eventually repeated his Guiseley behaviour & attitude. After all he was running his socks off 2 get away from his on & off the field woes in Guiseley.
-
I also think Reece was one of the main reasons we stayed up last season. He never stopped running and his positive attitude rubbed off on players and fans.
As for accusations of cheating, well I can't comment on Saturday's game because I wasn't there, but last season I don't think he dived, more that he perfected a canny trick of suddenly stopping running so the chasing defender couldn't help but barge into him and over Reece went. He didn't always get the decision but I don't recall him getting told off for diving too often.

Like others on Patter I would love to see Reece back in a pilgrim shirt . We've had a few strikers over the years that fits that profile (cue for N/40 to nominate Willie Gamble :laugh: :laugh:) but it is certainly not RT.
-
Reece would never be lazy under Craig or he would be up the road in a flash.
-
I have to agree loved watching him play last year, never gave up a thing.
It was nice after the game that the away team and in particular Garns and Reece were warmly applauded at the tunnel end, much to the surprise of the Guiseley players, a nice touch from the home crowd I thought.

You've judged him on 1 game against us, rather than the several he played for us.

Reece was a top player for us...I would pleased if he came back

Wow BUFC fans are certainly split on Reece. It's almost a parallel process with the Guiseley contingent! Facts speak for themselves.
Yes he gave his all for us but so did John Sands just remind me please how many appearances did RT make for us & how many goals did he score??

How many penalties did he get for us, which Hemmings tucked away, and how many defences did he keep on the back foot by pestering them all the time.
I do agree with you that John Sands was a qaulity striker who did score goals for us, then treated awful by DG probably because Den was jealous of him.
A talent that could have formed an impressive partnership with Dayle if given time, the few times they played together they looked good and on the same wavelength.

I’ll stick by my original post if you all don’t mind, after all it seems I’m not alone with my view on this subject.
I remember how he helped (note Helped) us get out of a mess, I also am aware of his ability if he desires to show it.
Also remember talking to some York city fans on the subject of Reece both before and after our game with them at home, I remember saying to one off them “I bet he will get himself sent off before we play you at York†I thought it wouldn’t happen but hey presto he gets sent off for violent conduct after a bad challenge (yellow card) and then in same incident throwing ball at felled players head (red card) 🤬. the week before York Away.
At lot was said by York fans and we all witnessed the hatred they had for him, seems similar to what Guiseley’s massive fan base are saying.
We don’t need him as our new look front line will soon be firing.🙏🙏.
-
Not really bothered what other clubs fans think of him, he did OK for me...... In my opinion another very astute Craig signing which saved our season.

I don't see any others on here that seconds your view Garry .
As steve says not bothered about what other fans .
York fans should be concerned about the succession of crap managers they have had , I don't think Harry Kane would have scored goals under them .

Facts speak for themselves.
And you seem to be ignoring them. He scored a few goals, and assisted several more (numerous penalties). He also had many an opposition player booked for fouling him. His attitude for us was first class (except the blip where he got sent off), and was a key factor in our rise up the division.

Craig tried very hard to get him back which just sums up what most of us feel despite what you think Garry. However, we have moved on hopefully CE has found even better replacements.

Sounds as if we could do with him tonight....

New strikers needed rubbish Boston ;)

No we just need to shoot and be more composed on the ball.
We are not a bad side, but some players need more desire.
