PREVIEW – Peterborough United v Stevenage: We're both coming into this FA Cup replay as fresh as daisies after both of us had a Saturday off...

If Posh Come To Shove…

Come on then, how did you end up spending your unexpected free weekend? Got all the Christmas shopping done, no doubt. Or maybe you found the cure for a nasty disease. If so, more power to you. But it wasn’t just Boro’ who had a quiet day of it on …

BoroGuide's FIFA 20 Verdict

FIFA 20 Verdict: Peterborough United (Home)

Oh, look what’s come back from the virtual dead. With a few spare minutes to hand, we thought we’d see how FIFA 20 called this FA Cup clash. It seems like we ain’t done this type of thing for a couple of seasons, so our memories are a bit fuzzy. …

Stevenage v Peterborough United – Posh 'n' Go: We've already gone through to the next round of one competition this week. Now for the second?

Posh ‘n’ Go

We’ve already gone through to the next round of one competition this week. Now for the second? Our march into the knockout stages of the Leasing.com Trophy didn’t even call for us to do anything, but we’re not sure that doing nothing will work in this FA Cup First Round …

Scunthorpe United v Stevenage – Preview (02 Nov 2019): We have a scun-ning plan. Hopefully...

We Have A Scun-ning Plan…

…or, at least, we’re hoping the gaffer has something up his sleeve for this weekend’s trip to Scunthorpe. It does seem as if we’re making it harder for sides to walk into the Lamex and leave with all three points. And that’s a good thing – yeah? It got us …

Stevenage v Morecambe – Preview: It's a six-point Saturday showdown with the Shrimps...

Six-Point Shrimp Saturday Showdown

Hmm. Us going off on holibobs two weeks ago did the trick then? We’re happy to take any credit – and royalties too – for us beating Grimsby indoors and grab our first league win of the season. But we’re now back and so are the Boro’ blues after our …

Grim'll Fix It – Stevenage v Grimsby Town Preview (12 Oct 2019): Did Boro' do a win? We think we did y'know – but now time to do it in a game that *actually* matters...

Grim’ll Fix It

Now then, is that a win for Boro’ we see before our eyes? Do you know what? We think it might be. After all, we scored one goal and they scored none. And that’s usually enough. But it is also true that an ancient proverb says that, if a team …

Colchester United v Stevenage – Preview: Boro' gotta Col with it, but let's not take too much more time... eh?

You Gotta Col With It…

… you gotta take your time. Or something like that. But, of course, there’s taking your time about things and there’s bumbling your way into the third month of the season with people starting to take notice that your win column is lying empty. The interim gaffer says that our …

'Bridge over Troubled Waters – Stevenage v Cambridge United (28 Sep 2019): So, onto game 13 of the season – unlucky for some, no doubt, but one that'll hopefully go our way... | BoroGuide

‘Bridge Over Troubled Water

So, onto game 13 of the season – unlucky for some, no doubt, but one that’ll hopefully go our way. Isn’t it about time that we won a game of soccerball, though? We so nearly cracked that nut down over the New Lawn last time out didn’t we? Just those …

Green Machine – Forest Green Rovers v Stevenage (21 Sep 2019): Could third time be the charm for Mark Sampson? Or is this infernal wait for a win gonna drag on?

Green Machine

Could third time be the charm for Mark Sampson? Or is this infernal wait for a win gonna drag on? If it does, that does mean we’ll be looking at next week’s game indoors against Cambridge as lucky unlucky 13. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves and write this …

Stevenage v Northampton Town (17 Sep 2019): Daylight Cobblery – New gaffer, same result; but there's no hanging around as we go again in search of that overdue win

Daylight Cobblery

New gaffer, same result – but there’s no hanging around as we go again in search of that overdue win. Carlisle indoors at the weekend was a kick in the teeth after we’d got ahead. Some new bosses get a nice long honeymoon period after taking charge. Mark Sampson had …
