No where near good enough today, I thought Boston were all over us right from the off.
We created a good amount of chances in the first 45 but only really made the keeper pull off one save, that was from a Danny Boshell low shot which he saved at full stretch.
The first goal came from Ben Parker being injured an unable to run onto the ball over the top which allowed the Boston man to run free and shoot at Drench who initially made a good save but Felix had the net gaping in front of him and couldn't miss.
Parker eventually went off to be replaced by Danny Ellis who was surprisingly on the bench.
We had a couple of chances after that, Brooksby volleyed over from the inside of the area and Danny Lowe volleyed Boshell's cross right across the face of goal when really it should have at least forced the keeper into a save.
The the second came from Gavin Rothery having the ball in the left back position, he was fouled but the ref gave advantage, I would like to know where the advantage was when Gav was facing our goal with three men on him, so he attempted a pass back to Drench but it was cut out by Jones and he slotted under Drench right before half time.
I think that goal really knocked the stuffing out of us, however the next goal was crucial to decide which way the game would go.
Unfortunately we didn't get it and never really looked like getting it.
Drench cleared from a goal kick but the Boston man won the ball and headed it on to an attacker who broke away and then only had Drench to beat and he did that with ease.
The fourth was another good finish by Boston then it was definitely game over.
However we did get a goal back when Rothery atoned for his earlier error by striking the ball into the top corner and past Dixon who nearly saved it.
We did have a chance before too but Lawlor's header clipped the outside of the post.
The fifth came in injury time when Simmons exquisitely chipped Drench to really rub it in.
We do have a lot of injuries however that is no excuse for today's display, I think we are missing Boyes and Holdsworth.
Only having two out and out strikers is really harming us too, there was no option to bring an attacking threat, other than Oli Johnson who going by Bower's post match interview isn't fit either, Alex Johnson can't do it up top on his own and doesn't really seem to be able to strike a partnership with Nicky Bosh.
But also going by Bower's post match interview the funds have not been there for any signings which is fair enough when you consider the size of the squad but the bench is looking a bit thin at the moment.
I feel sorry for Stockdill too, whatever he does he can't seem to get in the team, he has played well everytime he has had an opportunity but is always dropped the next match.
When you consider though, Boyes out through suspension, Holdsworth out through injury, Hall out on loan to get match fitness, Toulson back after over a month out, Oli Johnson carrying an injury and Brooksby hasn't played for a while either it doesn't really help matters.
Defeats like today's can have a positive affect on our season though, look at what happened after Alty away in the league last season and out heavy defeat at Alfreton a few years ago.
Chips were top draw from the Eagles chip shop pre match.
Programme superb as always from Boston.
Onto Hyde at home now, hopefully we can bounce back to winning ways.
Come on Guiseley!
