After getting the better of a team one division above us, can Boro’ keep their FA Cup run on track at a team one division below? Well, there are two things that worry us in this Round Two tie. The first is that we’re off to a ground where our …
Prenton Park isn’t the happiest historical hunting ground for Boro’ over the years. But our last visit there went our way, so why not again? As we slowly inch our way back down south after a point at Rochdale in midweek, what of the challenge we face against Rovers? Before …
Now, we’ve only ever been to Rochdale once before – and it was a bloody good day out. Asking too much for a repeat performance? Let’s face it, the context of that inaugural trip to the Crown Oil Arena in September 2011 aren’t far off where we’re at now. The …
We could do with our next oppo being a side that we always seem to beat. Instead, next in line will be Colchester United. To be fair, looking towards historical head-to-head records for some sort of short-term salvation is a little bit desperate. And just because – let’s say – …
It’s now eight seasons on the spin that we’ve had the Stags on our schedule; a fact that maybe dazzles us more than it should? It all started with our initial and – frankly – goal-crazy intros in our Blue Square Premier days. But, like Northwich Victoria or Altrincham were …
The abject display that was Newport away last week made it a very long week to be a Boro’ fan. And we just can’t see MK Dons away as being the cure. The FA Cup Round One draw didn’t look all that kind on paper when it came out of …
Here we go then, our annual European adventure; Boro’ on the westway to Wales for our League Two away day at Newport County. And no, that gag will never get old. C’mon, we’re not going to be playing in the Europa GM Vauxhall Conference League (or whatever it’s called) any …
It seems that October, the month of Halloween, is a month of bogey teams for Boro’ – Leyton Orient up next to test our mettle. First, there was Exeter City. Then came Oxford United in the Papa Don’t Preach Trophy. And then there was Northampton Town on the road. It’s …
Oh, look – it’s the rare treat that is a midweek league game; the bright lights of Northampton Town calling us up the road. Now, it’s only been 10 days since we took on who we think are a bone fide bogey team in the unsightly and unusual shape of …
After the rare treat that is back-to-back home games (no, the Papa John’s Trophy doesn’t count), Boro’ are going out on the road again; to Oldham Athletic’s Boundary Park. We can make a song and dance about how long it’s been. But the truth is that it’s only six-and-a-bit months …
