The B-Ark / Hall Of Fame

« on: April 14, 2024, 03:18:37 PM »

It was great to see the former players at yesterday’s match, in particular the new Hall Of Fame inductees. It got me thinking , what if the general fan base was given the opportunity to vote a former player into the HOF every year? I understand it’s a BUSA decision currently, but not every fan is a BUSA member, and maybe it might be an idea to cast opinion a little further afield?

Now the bus WAS a dubious one, only because I'd heard they'd refused alternative transport to stick beside their stricken coach!

I'd travelled across from Nottingham for that game and found it was off as I supped my first pint in the Pilgrim Lounge...

I remember on the day Spenny’s keeper was injured, their emergency loan keeper missed the bus, and their (presumably) reserve keeper was tweeting about which outfielder was going to play in goal, as none of their 3 keepers would be at Boston.
Now, all of this might be completely made up, but that’s what I heard that weekend. Far fetched though it was, maybe it could have been the case.

The striker was also suspended.

No wonder they didn’t want picking up! They probably weren’t where they said. Probably still in Spennymoor!

For strikers in form, they were very poor.

I understand you’re allowed your opinion, but to be critical of 2 strikers who’ve scored 20 between them in the last 10 games is a little unfair.

I was talking about their performance in the match, not about the previous three matches.  They were very poor, and as IC said in his interview " we would not have scored if we played all day " They both missed chances they would have put away last week.  Hopefully just a glitch.

hopefully a glitch indeed, it would be good if they continued the recent good form and help push us over the playoff line

A good 3 points well earned in the end. We can’t afford to let up with plenty of teams ready to jump into our spot should we falter.
And great to see the front pair both scoring again. Since Hazel’s injury they’ve scored 20 between them. Great return from them both.

Yet a few months ago some were counting the hours since a "striker" had scored (quite a lot if memory serves!). What a turnaround. Down to what? Better service?

personally I think that both Jimmy and Kelsey have benefitted from time on the bench. It seems to have refocused them both. They’ve bounced back in the most impressive way. Sometimes forwards just need a goal or two to kick start a purple patch, and they’ve both had theirs together. It’ll be interesting when Haze is match fit again and there’s added competition for the shirts. I’m sure many will agree, it’s a great problem for IC to have.
