I'm really unsure how to call this one, if you'd asked me 2 weeks ago after we'd beaten (comprehensively) the league leaders Cambridge & outplayed the league 1 leaders Leyton Orient at their place (albeit just the first 45 mins) then I'd have said we'd win comfortably.
But since then we have been free falling, we were lazy & jaded at home to Lincoln (0-1) & shocking at home to a VERY average Hereford (0-3). I couldn't make Saturday (away to Aldershot) but from what I hear the first 45 minutes were the worst of the seaon & we were 4-0 down after 24 minutes, although they got a bollocking at half time & apparently we played well in the 2nd half to get a well earned 1-1 draw (5-1).
I think a lot rides on who we can get fit for Saturday, we will know more after tonight's away game at Luton. If we have Ellington, Fitzpatrick, George, Brodie & Hurst then I fancy us more than I do at the moment.
I remember being worried of an upset against Marske in the cup & we were 4-0 up after 11 minutes 38 seconds. Whilst I'm aware that Boston are no Marske, the difference from the conf north to conf prem is massive, it's a totally different game. I don't mean any disrespect when I say that as I've no idea what you're like & we were in the conf north for a long time, but that league really is tinpot compared to this league.
I'm gonna go for:
Southport 2 - 2 Boston
Att 815.
