Photos vs Bishop's Stortford

[Ken Fox]

Got home to Leeds and I was expecting there to be a match thread on here to bung a few snaps on. But there isn't! So here's a thread for the pics.

Its just a shame the quality of your photo's and David Shipman's isn't reflected in the quality of football on offer, which was once again very poor.

905 was a magnificent effort support wise after another season of under performance.

First 30 minutes or so I thought they were playing some good stuff and were well on top. Then Bishop got there deflected goal which you cant defend.
After that heads dropped once again and we never really got going!
It seems that there is still an issue with confidence to me which reflects when we concede.
Still it is still alot better than the stuff we were served with in Jan and Feb.

DG Iam sure will get this sorted in the summer and I still think there will be quite afew players leaving.

The biggest problem for us yesterday was the height of players. Until Ward and Stainsfield came on we had no one to compete in the air. They were overloaded with tall players and we lost any high balls into their area from crosses. We needed to keep it down low. Enjoyed the game and it was good to see the players enjoying playing for DG.

The only thing that worries me about DG is his apparent desire to keep the bulk of the squad.

I'm sorry, but the bulk of this side has been together for a year now, some 2, and we are no further on than we were back at the start of JL's tenure. We're inconsistent, we give away silly goals, the lack of a physical presence in both attack and midfield is a big concern and to my mind all DG has done is get a bit extra out of players who know the season is fast ending and who are looking to impress for a new deal next season.

Nothing much has changed in the last month, footballers aren't daft, they know they've got a good deal at Boston and for my mind the form over the last month needs replicating over a season, not when contracts are close to renewal.

Hi Andy. Ever thought about writing a book. You could call it 'How to win friends and influence people'.
At least we are better than we were 3 months ago when people on here were saying 'give GD a chance'.

I think what may be misleading you Andy is that this manager appears to THINK before opening his mouth .  Some past managers would come in and declare a big clear -out is needed knowing it pleases the the fans who believe a  "quick fix" can be done .
The players who can improve the side will most likely be tied with a contract until the end of the season
with thier present club .

Worry not Andy I think you will find he will only keep a handful of the present squad, the rest he is keeping sweet till the end of the season by saying he is giving them a chance to impress.

Exactly how I see it panning out.  Much better approach than ruling with an iron fist then finding out that the players actually have to play for you at some point. Yes we've been up and down all year but there are a good few that can cut it when needed, tinkering with the squad and system must be a better approach than a complete overhaul of the squad again.

Okay, so.......... "footballers aren't daft"......... I suggest a list is started. Wayne Rooney?
