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 …
A point at Harrogate was a massive improvement on the previous week’s thumping – but a win still eludes us. So, can Pools oblige? Well, if they certainly count as one of the teams that Boro’ used to be able to depend on for three points. Looking back over our …
After last week’s mess, the last thing we need is to play another team making a fast start to the season – and yet here we are. Harrogate Town are only just into their second-ever campaign at this level. But you wouldn’t know it from the assured way in which …
Now that Morecambe have left us and Woking are no longer relevant, Forest Green Rovers are the most familiar faces we ever knew. After we first came across this quaint village side during the early stages of the 1998-9 season, it was a struggle to separate us. It’s why we …
