The whole team were outstanding. Brilliant win. IMO Jordan Burrows was MOM and key to us winning..

Shows how shite the league is.  We battered them and they've been winning away for fun.
Is there honestly a decent side in this league???
Only fylde looked remotely decent and they're now 3pts clear.
Whoever goes up will surely go straight back down, almost embarrassing for the league to send anyone up, yet we're 1 of the worst sides in it!

Great performance today. Work rate, quality, spot on

Just watched their managers interview, Was he watching the same game as everyone else, "We should have been up at half time" It could easily have been four or five for Boston at half time. Have to agree with Josh if Darlington were just one point off the top going into this game it proves what a poor league this is this season, they looked poor however, taking nothing away from our lads with a performance that probably made Darlington look poor. More of this 100% committment from the boys and I for one will sleep easier.  UTP

I also thought King's Lynn were only average.  Two mistakes cost us.

Their manager, whatever one thinks of one or two comments, made many points that we can agree with, such as we seemed to want it more (we snapped into everything). He acknowledged that Jordan B had his best game for us since he came back, and I'm sure that MOTM was between him and Zak Mills who I thought deserved it. But nobody had a bad game and it was a really good performance. I was surprised that we made the two subs, as I felt that invited them on to us in the latter stages. But I'm not complaining, and IC would doubtless point to the fact that we won as vindication! Let's hope at last we have turned the corner. UTP.

Yippee!!! I bet DN has a big smile on his face this morning and the Sunday roast will go down a treat.I certainly hope so. I don't know if the Darlington management/ownership is the same as when they double-crossed us over that abandoned game, but I hope it is. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Now onto Chester, which is a hard place to get a result. They are full-timers but I'm certain yesterday's result and performance will boost the players' confidence.

On paper we had 6 ‘defenders’ and a defensive midfielder
