Hartlepool United v Stevenage: Only Pools, No Horses

Only Pools, No Horses

It’s been a while, but here’s a midweek match under lights to sink our teeth into. Hartlepool is a ruddy long way to go for a Tuesday night encounter, but it’s not half as long as our wait for a league win – now stretching back almost two months. League One’s …

Stevenage v Crawley Town: Sarllito's Way?

Sarllito’s Way

“The dream don’t come no closer by itself. We gotta run after it now” – for now, that ‘dream’ is nothing more than staying in this division. Don’t let that put you off though. After a string of rubbish results and a change in management, we certainly got to run after it now. …

Bad News Bears.... Sheringham Leaves Stevenage

Dry January Is Over…

… here’s Punchdrunk February. We were happy enough, bimbling along on Transfer Deadline Day with just a handful of deals to keep us occupied as Aaron O’Connor made his stay permanent and Pat Hoban came in from Oxford. And then “KABLAMMO!” – the nuclear option is chosen and Boro’ are searching for a new gaffer …

“These Boots Were Made For Yorkin’…”

… and that’s just what they’ll do. It’s up to York we go with ourselves this weekend and, at the same time, to the very bottom of the table. The Minstermen are propping up the League Two pile as we talk forth unto you here and now, having been cut three points adrift of safety. …

Bees, Bees, Bees: Let Us Get What We Want

Barnet indoors, then. We like to think we’re good eggs here at BoroGuide HQ, treating those less fortunate than ourselves with grace, compassion and patience. But, when it comes to our lowly guests this weekend, we just can’t do that. The Bees come to the Lamex with a five-point advantage over us …

No Time Like The Present, Right?

Morning everyone. It’s a strange one, but we’re almost willing to overlook last weekend’s 3-2 defeat at Plymouth – the Pilgrims sit pretty at the top of the table, while we’ve struggled to keep our head above water for most of the campaign. It wasn’t much of a surprise that we …

Homer Simpson - Leader Beans

Take Us To Your Leaders…

Buckle up folks, this one could be quite a bumpy ride. With a squad that’s thinner than Woking FC’s Guide To Winning Trophies and a back line that seems to have more holes in it than Swiss cheese, it’s not the ideal time to call in on league leaders Plymouth Argyle. Yep, the Pilgrims are flying high, while we …

Not The Nine O'Clock News - Judge Sketch

The Case For The Defence

It’s a worry, innit – going to games not wondering if Stevenage can win, but wondering if our strikers can score more goals than our defence is letting in? Mansfield on the road this weekend has proved – not for the first, second or even 10th time this term – that the …

Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked…

We’ve been through all the tellybox games on this weekend and it’s amazing that we’re not there. Fobbed off with the old excuse that the FA Cup is the oldest marketing device in the world or something, the Beeb and BT Sport just wouldn’t listen to our very impressive suggestion that, maybe, the idea …

Going For Gold

Yeo-ing For Gold

Hello, guten tag and bonjour. We’ve caught the travel bug and can’t wait to see where the Boro’ bus is taking us next… ah. Yeovil. Can that be right? Well, it looks like it. Just three weeks after we last ventured out to the wild west to check up on our old chums, we’re …
