We’re covering some distance in a short space of time; our next away day leading us to Bradford – and an unhappy hunting ground for Boro’. Four times we’ve been to Valley Parade, now called the Utilita Energy Stadium for sponsorship reasons. And three times we’ve come away with little to show. …
Now, call us paranoid or what have you, but we can’t help think that Bristol Rovers are a side who have been trying to avoid us. Just as it seemed over the years that our paths might cross, they end up missing. Is it the lingering guilt from taking Barry …
At long last, it’s time to kick off a new League Two campaign – and, not for the first time, we do it against Cumbria’s second-best team. With the Euros taking place over the summer, it feels as if we’ve lost all idea of time. No football deprivation means we …
Everyone else has been lining up to give their verdicts on how they see the 2021-2 League Two campaign will pan out – so why not us too? We probably won’t be too much cop at the standard po-faced analysis you can normally expect at this time of year. We …
And now the end is near, and so we face the Iron curtain; a line that probably only lands if you know a) what song we’ve ripped off and b) what the Iron curtain was. To be clear, that second one is not a immovable window dressing for your front …
After last week’s hugely enjoyable party-pooping at the Abbey Stadium, we’re back at the Lamex; Crawley Town wrapping up our 2020-1 home schedule. Unlike the Us, our guests have nothing left to play for now. And that’s just an observation – not a criticism. We have nothing left to play …
Our hosts are on the cusp of promotion to the third tier for the first time since 2002. The Us know that a win against us will see them over that line. But could we make them wait a little longer? It’d be quite nice to leave them hanging for …
The football pendulum swings wildly again; from 12 unbeaten to three without a win. Can Boro’ haul the oracle back in our favour? Our struggles in front of goal, which are nothing new this season, came back to bite us hard on Saturday. After grabbing the decisive goal in the …
It’s not the falling down that counts. It’s the getting back up. And here Boro’ get a chance to do just that as we return home; losing our long unbeaten run last Saturday with defeat at Salford City. As disappointing as that result was, don’t cry because our run is …
Now 12 unbeaten after last week’s draw at home to Bradford, let’s hope it ain’t unlucky 13 as we go out on our travels again. Sadly, the initial omens aren’t looking good as we head north to Salford; a side who hold a perfect record against us. We’ll have more …
