Thought Fees league teams were pretty good , didnt they finish runner up to Barrow 1998 ish
  Lot of United favorites in that side ..

From what I recall Ted they were crap ,  and thats coming from a happy clapper .

Conversion of striker -defender could be useful..
  Worked well for Cloughie with Burnsie ..

Agree Greene has a good record, but every football manager has a shelf life just look at Mourinho at Chelsea and Pearson at Leicester.
Can't think either mentioned above lost a full squad over a summer.
Only Jay today was a player from.last season.
There were also 3 new starters today.
We played a full time squad who have been very successful away from home so far. Scoring 9 I believe.
They did not score today ..we scored for them!
Our "dodgy defence" kept a clean sheet (sort of)
I thought there were a few green shoots of hope emerging...just maybe

no way after all the players leaving would we be challenging for a play off place , being in the top ten will be an achievement . With his record here DG should be left to get on with it , I don't agree with all the stick he gets and with social media how it is it's not gonna help him or the team . I stopped going when fatty took over to me DG has been like a breath of fresh air

Fee's 96/97 team was great. Fell away towards the end but had a great cup run and played some great football.

I remember the great game in the cup at Chester ( then a league team ).  We battered them, got beat 1-0 and their goalie received man of the match.  Great day out.

yes, I was there too.

Sorry to mislead you Ted ,   I was a moaner in those days , only noted the downside  :)

Recall us having a home win in cup against Northwich Vic about that time ,  Uria Rennie reffed the match .   Familiar with many Boston players as they came from Sheffield like himself .   Saw him spectating on Spayne Terrace on one occasion when there was no top matches .

Think Uria reffed us in the 3-0 home win against Morecombe in the FA cup ghm.

The comparison between points achieved last year vs this year was often quoted last season during the run-in by Dennis, in a "don't write us off yet" type way.
Well, doing the same, last year vs this year...
2015/6 p7 w3 d1 l3 f9 a10 pts10 10th
2016/7 p7 w1 d1 l5 f6 a13 pts4 17th
So based on last year's play-off points tally of 71, we only need to gain 67 more pts from 35 games.
That's 20 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses.
As the post says, it's gonna be a long season.
