@beefeater407 @LeicsPilgrim @bostonutdstats Last 3 years has been 68 and 71 twice. So based on that yes. But think it'll be more this year. So even 8 wins from 8 won't be enough, not that is going to happen even with the upturn in form.

@LeicsPilgrim @IanButler120571 @bostonutdstats Lol

👍United have scored in all four of their previous visits to Brunton Park 👎United are yet to pick up a result in four visits to Brunton Park

@beefeater407 @bostonutdstats Yeah we'd need to proper implode now and not win any of our last 8. Given we have very winable home games v Alty and Truro and away v Brackley and Solihull I cannot see a world where we don't win at least a couple of those given our form and those we have to play.

@IanButler120571 @bostonutdstats I think we all keep making that calculation or at least trying. I suppose it's the pessimistic side of being a Boston United supporter that will always make me nervous of an implosion, lol

@bostonutdstats @beefeater407 My predictions: Truro less than 40 Braintree 41-45 Morecambe 43-47 Brackley 45-49 Gateshead 46-50 Eastleigh 48-52

@bostonutdstats @beefeater407 Lots of variables. Current PPG, current form, teams sides have left to play, there are 7 additional sides between us and the bottom 4 etc. I have also tried to predict results for all teams . Given all that I have the bottom 4 on 48 (at best) or less. So 1 more point.

The old cliche game of 2 halves. Thought they where the better side 1st half and could have gone in ahead had they took the 2 or 3 chances they had. 2nd half was all us and we missed a stack of chances before getting the winner. Great result, enjoyed the game. 1 more win 🖤💛

@JoshBUFC We need to stick with him. Has potential and hopefully a loan spell and some goals at Kiddy is just what he and the club need. Injuries haven't helped this season, there is defo a NL striker there but may need a run in the league below to regain his confidence.

In August, I thought he would be what Tom Cursons is now... very unlucky not to get more game time, especially before February, but perhaps NL is a bridge too far for him at this moment

@busabufc 3) Once South Stand is complete spoke about potentially a new training facility as next phase. There may be more but those are the bits that I remember that are not covered by yourselves. 3/3

@busabufc 2) Fanzone. Looking at possibilities maybe next to new South Stand but wrong location and too small. Could use the afore mentioned land if we could acquire. 2/3

Here is our summary from last nights Fans Forum…. A key point for our supporters that we needed to share is the gratitude that was given to all of the supporters from both Paul, Chris and also David.

@Dukey_3006 Just watched the video, inconclusive for me it is very tight. Also a suspicion of handball too. Regardless we did more than enough to win but that's football. See you next season as I'm pretty sure we both stay up.

Shows how far we have come when we are disappointed to not take all 3 points. Better side and potentially offside for their 1st then a ridiculous deflection for 2nd. They took an age over everything even when drawing. Still another point towards safety. 2 more wins will do it

@leenewell1 @oaphotography1 @bostonunited Can't see us keeping Cropper, injury prone. Think Mills will also go, great player and club legend but age and injuries caught up. LJL and Hazel not sure about either. Think Hurst will want his own players in and may release those too.

@IanButler120571 @oaphotography1 @bostonunited Yes can see Carson staying. Laviner not played much under Hurst, when fit Cropper still first choice right back. Teale done well lately, can play right back or centre back. Hill will be kept. Last two signings of McCarron and Barrington feel like Hurst building for next season.

Probably getting carried away here a bit, but one to keep tabs on @bostonunited... 👀

@leenewell1 @oaphotography1 @bostonunited Yep that's what I meant, Hill, Teale and Lankshear the only ones on 2 year deals getting in regulary. Of the others think we'll keep Donnelly. Scott, Grist, Waldock and Raihky not sure, maybe 1 or 2 wil go depends if they get other offers. Kelly we defo need to let go if we can.

@IanButler120571 @oaphotography1 @bostonunited Just checked and Teale and Hill got 2 years last summer.

@leenewell1 @oaphotography1 @bostonunited Lovett and Norkett both on 1 year options too, not sure we'll keep either. Would love us to go get Roberts too but may be out of our budget range. Would imagine he'd be one of if not the top earner at Scunny and we wouldn't be able to match his salary.

@leenewell1 @oaphotography1 @bostonunited Agree with Maguire and Richards, would also add Carson and possibly Lavinier too. Teale, Hill and up to his injury Lankshear the only ones getting into the first 11 of those on 2 year deals. There's 1 or 2 others I'd keep but a couple need to go if we can offload.

@JoshBUFC @TheDeckNL Yeah them, Morecambe and Truro were definites for me to go down in the Summer. The other spot I genuinely though Gateshead as they looked in a mess too.

@IanButler120571 @TheDeckNL They looked in a right mess in the summer. I had them to be certain relegation fodder

🚨 BREAKING: Wealdstone have parted company with manager Sam Cox, following yesterday’s loss against Sutton United. The Stones started the season extremely brightly but have now slipped down to 17th. Thoughts on this? #STONES🔵

@JoshBUFC @TheDeckNL Agree mate. We somehow won that game undeservedyy mainly due to their wayward finishing. He was overchieving 1st half of the season, should have got a bit longer looking from the outside.

@TheDeckNL One of the better sides i saw against us this season but I was really surprised to see them below us after such a good start. They looked virtually safe in december

@TheDeckNL @BUFCSupporter @YorkCityFC @sameoldcitypod @TS_Minstermen @theshotspod @BOREHAM_WOODFC @RochdaleAFCcom Ours (Boston) is 6. Drew Southend, won Boreham, Sutton, Gateshead and Scunthorpe and drawn Sat Tamworth.

📊 Longest *Current* unbeaten runs in the National League: 1) YORK CITY - 22 2) Rochdale - 10 3) Aldershot Town - 6 4) Boston United - 5 5) Boreham Wood - 4 Half the season long unbeaten run from @YorkCityFC 👏🏻 #YCFC #RAFC #TheShots #BUFC #WeAreTheWood

@PilgrimHutty Yeah agreed. I know they are punching way above their weight and Peake is doing a great job, but f*ck me couldn't watch that boring shit week in week out. Made Coughlans side look attacking and full of flair. Stiffled us and conned the ref time after time with their diving.

@IanButler120571 The main relief is we didn't beat West Ham U21's as 3 away trips to Tamworth per season is a step too far.

Tamworth came with spoiling tactics and left with the 0-0 they came for. We played fairly well 1st half and created a few chances, but 2nd half ran out of ideas. Improvement though as last season we never got near them, took 4 points this. A futher point from relegation too.
