The B-Ark / Re: Play-0ff's & National League.

Or not backing him at all, if you believe Andy over on Twitter this morning!
I do think we should have tried to hit the ground running with a Hazel type player sooner, but I've no complaints about the chairman's backing this season. The small squad we've sometimes struggled with this season has been solely down to the management not quite getting things right with the u23 model, and this is by their own admission.
Yes we have different opinions there, personally I think the chairman has done a good job and his stance tends to be one of giving the manager a competitive budget with a budget that is working towards the club spending within its means on what it generates, which I admire. Moving to hybrid may take a year or so to get right, the u23s on one hand not quite worked and will see how they change that for next season however we did get Dylan Hill who was signed as a u23 who is now a key first team player. Chairman could have stayed with part time players to keep costs down however I think it's good progress to move towards having a better chance of getting that promotion and hopefully within the next few years becoming an established team in the league if we get the promotion.
The money for Hazel was proberbly there at the start of the season, management did say at the time it took a few weeks to get the deal over the line and waiting for the right player like Hazel within the budget we have. It's been quite refreshing the approach this season of getting the right players in even if we have to wait rather than the revolving door with twice the players used over the season.

Unfortunatley not, only way that could happen would have been in Curzon won last night and then won their semi final v Brackley. As highest placed team is at home. Curzon lost to Chorley on pens last night. If we beat Scunthorpe will be Brackley or Chorley away.
Scunthorpe now reporting 6500 tickets sold in total including 1400 from Boston, incredible ticket sales. Feels like it should have been the final with those ticket sales from both sides.

Scunthorpe saying 5500 tickets sold already, over 800 from Boston.
Could break the National League North Attendance record (which I'm told is 7920). Half of the gate money for an attendance likely to be around 8000 a nice pay back for the club and chairman, after backing the manager this season with the expense of going to hybrid etc.

Buzzing after that. Resilient performance away from home and lads kept their heads for the pens with cams save at the crucial time. Huge game at Scunthorpe Saturday!
Not the best game to watch typical hoof ball from Heath but our defenders stood up to it.

Got the result against a Banbury side who played like a team that were already relegated. Not the best performance this season but worthy winners and got the job done away from home.

« on: April 14, 2024, 04:02:54 PM »Would someone please explain what this "hybrid system" is and how it differs from part time or full time?
I think ....
Part time - training 2 evenings a week (or once if we have a tues eve match)
Full time - training 4 days a week
Hybrid - training 3 days a week

Disappointing result. We must have had more of the possession and created chances that should have been put away but then again they had a couple of chances to score a 2nd.
4 games left and the good news is it's in our hands, with a game more than some around us meaning if we win all 4 we will finish at least 6th as Curzon in 6th have only 3 to play and winning 3 of 4 remaining would mean Spennymoor would have to win all 4 of their's to take 7th off us. Going to be a tense finish to the season. Wasn't the worst performance today and mostly been in good form of late, Hazel hopefully back next week. Leak fit enough for an hour today and hopefully good for 90 mins for last few games hopefully it can all come together for the last few games to get us into the playoffs and then hopefully this is our time to get the playoff promotion.

« on: March 31, 2024, 06:53:31 PM »I honestly believe they weren’t getting the right service mid season and weren’t even getting the chances. We seemed to go long for a while as we lacked confidence. We’re now back to playing football out from the back and the confidence to do this is providing the chances for them both. Just how it seems to me..
Yes a lot of the improved service down to the full backs with their assists of late, Rowe improved every week since we signed him and been providing the assists recently and Sephton back fit again has made a difference.
