When a loan deal is turned into a permanent one, that lad must be doing something right. Luke Freeman is a good case in point. After all, one of the joys of bringing someone in on loan is that you can send them back. Sometimes, you simply can’t wait for …
To a few people, he’s a two-time Olympic decathlon champion; winning gold in 1980 and 1984. But, to others, Daley Thompson is best known as a Boro’ player. Probably. At least, we think we got it the right way around. And it was a blink-and-you-miss-it relationship. He came in, played, …
After the sense of déjà vu going into Christmas, part two of our Stevenage review of the season charts a remarkable resurgence; one that lifted us well clear of what seemed like the inevitable battle for survival we so badly managed the season before. Boro’ came into the new year …
The 2020-1 campaign – if anyone asks in years to come, you’ll tell ’em it was a weird one, right? But we can’t just let it go without a proper send-off. So, before it becomes little more than an abandoned chapter in a book, let’s take it for one final …
All teams have seasons that live long in the memory. Mind you, that can sometimes be for better or for worse. Y’know, if you’re Derby County fans looking back at a diabolical 2007-8 Premier League campaign. For Boro’, however, seasons that live longest in our memories are laced with good …
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 …
