After failing to convince against our lower league opposition last weekend in the FA Cup, now Boro’ return to League Two action. It took two hours of football and a penalty shoot-out to separate us from Concord Rangers of National League South. We’re not that sure how well that bodes …
For our rise up the leagues during the early 1990s, some names may stand out more than most – and Dave Venables is one of them. Well, he is for us at least. And it’s no mean feat when you think about the fantastic attacking talent at our disposal. In …
OK, so we’ve finally managed to score a goal again. So, how about we do something about our eternal wait for our next win? If it can’t come against a side two leagues below us, our problems could be bigger than we thought. That’d go against the “magic” of the …
Stevenage are once again on course for another battle to remain in the Football League after a sluggish start to their League Two campaign. Alex Revell’s men survived last season by the skin of their teeth last season; requiring off-the-field issues at both Macclesfield and Bury for the club to …
Boro’ are becoming in desperate need of a goal – let alone a win. Is Essex going to be the place that we’re going to find it? Let’s just say that we’re not going to count our chickens. A goalless draw against Grimsby Town ain’t much to write home about. …
No goals (still) – but we did at least come back from Harrogate with a draw. Is it something we can build upon against Grimsby? It really is starting to feel barren up top; our two goals against MK Dons nowt more than a distraction from our league form. Nothing …
With goals and points in short supply right now, the signs suggest that Boro’ are in for a hard time at the EnviroVent Stadium. Harrogate Town are making a superb start to their first-ever season in the Football League. We, meanwhile, are showing the same form that should’ve ended our …
It might well be a new campaign on paper – but it’s now starting to feel as if the last one is actually still dragging on and on. It didn’t seem as if we knew how to respond to Newport’s early pelanty; our chronic lack of creativity making life a …
At what point do we start to fret? After we drew another blank at Forest Green, is Newport indoors the one to get us going again? Based on recent form, we’re in danger of sliding into a rut that we couldn’t ever escape last season. Sure – do an ‘at …
Our point up at Mansfield stopped our run of defeats in its tracks – but next up comes a tough away day at Forest Green Rovers. The New Lawn is not exactly up there with our happiest hunting grounds. So, it’s asking a fair amount of this new-look Boro’ side …
