Match Preview – Exeter City v Stevenage (21 Jan 2020): Who Gives You Exe-tra?

Who Gives You Exe-tra?

You can clock up your first away league win of term in a boring way – or you can do it with a big bang. And it seems we chose to do it with the latter; Boro’ sweeping past Cambridge with a style and swagger not seen yet from us …

Match Preview – Cambridge United v Stevenage (18 Jan 2020): The Bridge on the River Cam

The Bridge On The River Cam

Now stuck deeper in the brown stuff and hoping a trip up to Cambridge can give us a straw to clutch. It’s a hard knock life, innit? Let’s face it – the Us won’t be hangin’ around in trying to make things even worse for us than they are already. …

Match Preview – Stevenage v Oldham Athletic (14 Jan 2020): Latic Be...

Latic Be

Now we find ourselves in times of trouble, BoroGuide comes to thee – but speaking words of wisdom? Hmmm, Maybe. Tom Pope’s late penalty for Port Vale, coupled with some guy called Adam Phillips levelling for Morecambe at home to Colchester, plonked us right back on the bottom of the …

Match Preview – Stevenage v Port Vale (11 Jan 2020): Epic Vale!

Epic Vale

So, we’ve gone and done *another* win in the Leasing.com Trophy. Time we gave it a try in the league too? After hauling ourselves through 70 minutes against Colchester United with one less man on the pitch, that precious point was enough to lift us off the bottom of the …

PREVIEW – Col It What U Want: Stevenage v Colchester United (04 Jan 2020)

Col It What U Want

It turns out that old habits DO die hard if our thing for conceding late winners is much to go by. And it also turns out that we couldn’t leave that one behind in 2019 too; Boro’ starting a new year and new decade in exactly the same way that …

PREVIEW – Northampton Town v Stevenage: New Year, New Decade, New Hope? (01 January 2020)

New Year, New Decade, New Hope?

We’re starting a brand-new year at the bottom of the table – so things can actually only get better. Like, they can’t get worse per se. There’s nowhere below us to go. Sure, things could stay the same. And, in a way, that’s as bad as getting worse. If we’re …

MATCH PREVIEW: Devon Sent – Plymouth Argyle v Stevenage (29 December 2019)

Devon Sent

Not quite the belated Christmas present we wanted on Boxing Day, but it’ll do us to start with. To be fair, GW’s first game back in charge couldn’t have been much worse than that 5-1 tonking against Crewe. A clean sheet and a hard-earned point against a team fighting away …

PREVIEW: A Day For Boxing – Stevenage v Forest Green Rovers (26 December 2019)

A Day For Boxing

The latest GW era starts on Boxing Day – and it looks like there’s much work to be done. To be fair, we all know someone who made an egit of themselves at the office Christmas Party. So, it ain’t like humiliation isn’t part and parcel of the festive period. …

MATCH PREVIEW: Stevenage v Crewe Alexandra (20 Dec 2019) – Crewe? They Know It's Christmas?

Crewe? They Know It’s Christmas?

Here we go, our festive elves; Boro’s last match before Christmas and hoping for that new boss bounce. Never mind the fact that we’re bothered about already using the title “All We Want For Christmas Is Crewe“, this could make or break our seasonal mood. And this is a strange …

Preview – Away In Some Danger: Newport County v Stevenage (14 Dec 2019)

Away In Some Danger

‘Twas the last away day before Christmas, and we could do with an early present or two at Dave Parade. Keeping back all our goals for the Leasing.com Trophy might get us a date at Wembley next April, but it might also get us two dates with Boreham Wood and …
