It’s taken a couple of days, but we’ve finally dragged ourselves to the computer to accept that our League One fate is now all but sealed. We’d still have a chance if we’d overcome an average Colchester United, but we’ve been called in – our time is up. And the …
And so we come to what could be described as Boro’s biggest game for at least a couple of years. Colchester United are in town and – beg, borrow or steal – we need three points to breathe new life into our slightly faded hopes of staying in this division. …
“…I can take the despair. It’s the hope I can’t stand.” It took us some time to pluck up the courage, but we’ve just taken a look at the League One table for the first time since late last week. And it makes for grim reading. The 1-0 defeat at …
And so within the space of days we go from playing the top team in the league to playing the team that now sit at the foot of the table. Off we go to Shrewsbury Town and, well, it must surely be one of the most crucial games of the …
Well, what do you know? It’s top versus bottom and if you’ve somehow managed to keep yourself in the dark about Boro’s progress this season, here’s a clue – we ain’t top. This is not what we’d consider the ideal game to have after a pretty lacklustre point against Port …

You know when a result has been particularly naff when you’re still feeling miffed three days after the full time whistle was blown. We’ve had more than our fair share of losses this term, but few – if any – felt quite as gut-wrenching as MK Dons. Maybe it’s losing …
Karl Robinson is magic, or so it seems. After his MK Dons side overcame Swindon Town recently, they hauled themselves to seventh and within six points of the playoffs – where they’re still to be found. And Karl says for him to have guided them there is “a magician’s trick“, …
If you hear that Tony Christie’s Is This The Way To Amarillo is back in the charts, it may just have something to do with us. We have no idea why, but it’s back on our playlist here at BoroGuide HQ. It gives us a little trip down memory lane, if …
It’s quite incredible how our recent run – 10 points from a possible 12 – has the ability to transform Boro’s fortunes. The bottom 10 is separated by just eight points at the moment, so it’s maybe not that surprising that a string of results can have a massive impact …
