Great Scott Laird – the finishing line is not so much in sight, but right up in our faces. Take your partners for the last 90 minutes of term, folks. After all that’s been said and done and had us flapping like flappy jacks over the last nine months, school is all but out …
With a 25-point gap to make up and just two remaining matches in which to do it, it’s now safe to assume that Stevenage will not be making the playoffs this season. It’s like all those times you’ve arrived at Jumpin’ Jaks decked out in your best clobber, only to be turned away because …
Job done, feet up. The class of 2016 have managed to protect Stevenage’s hard-earned Football League status and it might just let us breathe a little easier this weekend. With 10 full points separating us and all-but-relegated York City with nine left up for grabs, even a six-year-old could tell you it’d take …
Mmmm, nearly there. In the context of our season that was (or still technically is), that weekend win indoors against Newport is as good as we can hope for. Not only did it bump us up the table for the first time since November, but it put us 12 points clear of the forlorn looking York. And when …
“How did York do? Did Dagenham win?” – just two or three more games and we might be able to stop asking those two questions after Boro’s latest attempt to keep the League Two relegation battle alive. It could be sooner if we’re lucky. It could be the full five remaining fixtures, …
What about that Yeovil game in midweek, eh? The footballing equivalent of watching BBC Parliament on Valium, we heard that even the town’s most sleep-deprived insomniacs managed to grab forty winks during the second half. The bottom line, we guess, is that we made it back-to-back shut-outs for the first time in 16 months …
How was it for you, then? To us, it was a ruddy bloody sensation. It won’t matter that we didn’t win any prizes for artistry or achievement. All that does matter are the history books, which will tell folk down the line that Boro’ beat Luton in a classic one-niller …
With three motorway exits, two railway stations and an international airport, you get the impression that a humanitarian town planner has made the task of getting out of Luton as simple as possible. But there’s always one poor sod who seems to be going against the flow and this weekend’s poor sod, dear folks, is us. Yep, it’s …
For an ‘orrible moment last digs, we found ourselves shafted right up the time tunnel with the memories of ballsing up a two-goal lead at home to MK Dons in 2014. It was about this time of the year an’ all, putting us on a collision course for a return to League Two. Lightning …
D:Ream have a bloody lot to answer for. A generation brought up to think that things can only get better. Yeah, well, when you look back over the last four games and see big fat eggs in both the Goals For and Points columns, you start to wish your next opponents won’t bother …
