Glad we got the goal in the end as it felt like it was going to "one of those days" as it wasn't happening for us. Alot has been made of the missing players who have been key for us recently and rightly so as they were missed today. Poor defending for their goal, five attackers in the area and only three Boston players resulting in a free header and a simple goal - maybe this wouldn't have happened if the captain was on the pitch? This apart Brackley offered nothing and were a poor side being kept in the game by the clown in black who was woeful. Of the players to come in Hollingsworth did well as usual providing plenty of energy although lacks the presence and experience of Garner, Thomas isn't strong enough or quick enough and I can't see him being here all season, Fallah showed nice touches like usual but lacks substance - don't remember him putting a single cross in despite playing as a winger. McGhee and Newsham coming on gave us another gear. McGhee was full of running and a constant threat with good deliveries - didn't show any signs of the injury and Newsham was back to his brilliant best, showed fantastic control to bring down a cross from the right, turn his man and shoot on the turn on target going into the bottom corner denied by the save of the match, then got the leveller from "Newsh range" showing he hasn't lost his awareness and instinct which have scored him so many goals for us. The sooner we can get Newsham and Southwell both fit and playing together the better with McGhee, Dixon and Felix offering the pace and creativity from Midfield.
Shocking attendance today less than 900 home fans hopefully a decent turn out Boxing day.
