Gloucester
« on: January 07, 2023, 10:08:28 PM »
How bloody frustrating, we score a lovely goal and revert to looking as though thats enough and we don't give a toss any more. Sorry to say that the Lincoln lad in goal is not good enough but it does appear that he cannot be dropped, is this part of the loan agreement? if so send him back. I have to say that I am finding it dificult to give my full backing to the manager as a lot of those he is bringing in are not good enough, although to be fair we can only guess what restraints he is working under. Things are looking extremely dodgy at the moment but I will be at Kettering next week and encourage everyone to try to get there and get behind the team, This is our BUFC and we must do whatever we can to make sure we do not face relegation.  UTP

A weak referee again yesterday also didn't help, but we conned him for the penalty.  Not the best goalkeeper Mel, but I think better than Davies.

I also think Lewis is a big weak link.  Cummings is also very poor.  We need a solid centre half to play alongside Shiels and an attacking wing back who's able to cross the ball.

I had the Kettering match pencilled in, but due to a few family issues I may have to give it a miss.
I have removed the shell from my racing snail to make it go faster, if anything it's made it more sluggish.

Why don't we have ball boys ? Would keep momentum going and save our guys keep fetching the ball for the goalkeeper

1st home game for me since the opening day and to be quite honest I'm struggling to see any improvement or any way this team will avoid relegation.

Seconds before Gloucester's 1st goal we were saying how comfortable we looked and how we should be seeing the game out and then an absolute comedy of errors let to one of the worst goals you'll ever see, and the 2nd goal was no better.

The team looks so weak, no one big enough to take on the opposition's bigger,more physical players and as a result we're very easy to play through and against. If Gloucester are top 10 it shows the absolute paucity of this league, and shame on the club for getting in the position where we're one of the worst sides in it.

And it also illustrates the grievous loss of Richard the scout when Elliott left, he could spot a player and its to his credit he brought the caliber of player he did into the club even if Elliott couldn't manage or coach them into a cohesive unit.

Sorry but I'll not be back for a long time on that showing, in my book this is the poorest side I've seen in 45 years, this team is relegation bound.

I did ask Joe Simpson on Twitter if we actually have any scouts now and to his credit he replied and said yes, we do. No names mentioned but they do exist, apparently!

Amazing really.

And I absolutely don't buy the old line about "its difficult to attract players to Boston".

No its not, people want to play for us, they don't want to be part of the absolute shambles we become in the last 8 or 9 months though.

Hi Andy,

A quick look at the table, I think 50 points is needed to be sure of staying up.  We have two extra teams in the league this season.  So eight more wins it is then.
