Gone to Brackley

Thought he could not sign for anyone else in our league as he has had a few clubs this season?

Spennymoor get the pitch declared fit for Saturday match ,  and them the league call in off taking into account the conditions for Leamington travelling  .

Well done to the league , but I am sure Spenny will back the decision considering they have had travelling problems in the past .

You forget "allegedly"

When we were all giving various reasons for it to be off something Roy told me made me go "oh yeah, never thought of that".  ALL pipes are frozen, so no showers, tea urns, toilets etc would have been available like I say, that never entered my head.

Loaned from Salford City and played for Craig before, very handy with Reece being suspended.

Ref has to take into account player and spectator traveling up until around 7pm on the match day, plus he will look at the terracing to see if there is a hazard with ice.

 My guess is it will be off purely based on the players traveling, I know it is only Yorkshire but players have to get to pick up points and then ours are traveling from everywhere too so I expect a 9-30 to 10 am postponement

Yeah the keeper who cheated to get Greg booked when he never touched him and then the number 3 making out Greg had hit him, so pleased we never stooped to that level to get the points.

Think as supporters we could have got behind the team more, seems like everyone was waiting for an announcement from Board or CE and spent the game chatting about it , BUT, suppose we would have been more vocal had the game been played in the right spirit cos everytime we tried to get some pressure on they would throw themselves to the floor and break the game for a few minutes.

With him saying he was happy here and the fans love him also said that he came here to get Boston back to where it belongs and that has not changed so why is everyone still talking about Grimsby? Even tonight he is saying he may have to bring in a couple of defenders cos we are light in that position, not signs of leaving to me.

Are we all reassured that CE will be here for the long haul after his interview tonight, or is there a niggling doubt?

What interview? ignore that, I found it

With Craig signing another player yesterday that sends out a statement of where his future is. Why buy players IF you are leaving? It is all ear say and BS in my eyes, Grimity will look elsewhere for someone with a bit more knowledge of higher leagues.

Think the step would be too much for CE at the moment, it was only 1 division when they poached last time but two is asking too much in my opinion. One thing you can be sure of though is that DN will be keeping a close eye on things and will act accordingly.

Adam Murray said his players had to learn how to take a punch on the nose, the big difference between him and Craig is that Craig brings in players that he knows can take a punch on the nose and not fall down.
That's is what I think makes CE successful.

Yep, he trusts them and they trust him and want to play for him, big bonus for any team that.

Someone said before kick-off that with the heavy conditions Greg may not have lasted long so maybe that was why Kab was given the start. The manager knows what he is doing, not questioned his decisions once since he took over whereas with AM I used to scratch my head and think WTF?

As Craig said after the game, he just told them to keep playing as they were as the team was doing nothing wrong, the keeper had more jam than Hartleys and at least two saves were made when he just stuck out an arm of leg apart from the one from Brad, that was brill save.

The only downside for me was the first two goals were similar, deep crosses and the right back not getting to the ball first but it got sorted after that

As in previous games when we have fallen behind the team just got more determined and got stuck in, a better ref may have given the pen on Greg but thankfully it was not a decision that cost us a point, had it been 2 - 3 and he waved play on it would have been worse than it was.

The team are showing great character and as Craig said,it could have been easy to say at 3 - 0 it is not our day and just defend on that score but Brad and Anji got the momentum going and the fightback was on.

The crowd were brilliant too in my opinion, could easily have gone sod it at 3  down but they got behind the players and after the first goal we got the noise level increased at 2 - 3 it got even louder and the whole ground got behind the lads, every one of us can see what CE is forming here and when he first came he said win lose or draw he wants the players coming off and the crowd seeing that they gave every ounce of energy they had, that was evident yesterday.
 When they started the time wasting, going to ground for treatment and ref stopping the game (rightly in first half as it was a head injury but never did same for Reece) but the one bit that the ref never punished was when they sent the number 11 from the right all the way to the left as he was about to be subbed then he walked off so bloody slow, that was a yellow card but a points a point so onwards and upwards

 Bring on Leamington

Like everyone else I thought the two-nil at halftime was harsh on us, they had two shots and their keeper got lucky with one shot that hit elbow then the side netting, another one he was diving for that got deflected and hit stuck a boot our, Hemmings then had a couple of curlers go just wide. Oh and Brad had a decent effort but the keeper made a great save.

 I expected us to come out fighting second half and we did, they got a well-worked third and I turned to the lad and said now we will see what CE can do seeing as he has not been in a position like this before. He changed tactics and as you all said he brought Greg on and we got a rhythm going thought if we could snatch a quick one back there would only be one winner but right at the end we had one cleared off the line with the keeper nowhere.

Top marks to the crowd today, even Spain Road joined in with the clapping and singing, we need to be noisy like that every game

As we talked about the game on the way home I said, had that been AM we would not have fought back like that and kept going all game. Point gained in my eyes, think had someone said before the game that we will get a 3-3 after being 3 down we all would have said yep, but after coming so close to a late winner it did feel like two dropped points.

I had Brad down for MOTM at halftime, he was everywhere and never gave up and fully deserved his brace.
