Morning all.
Well what a week that has been since I last spoke with you.
Firstly, the game we were all so looking forward to was scuppered because of severe frost which set all the conspiracy theorists going into overdrive in Staffordshire. If you spoke with certain people at the Lamb, you would be led to believe Whitehall and Butterfield conducted the Friday afternoon pitch inspection. “Why wasn’t the inspection made Saturday morning?” was a familiar cry. Though, anger subsided somewhat, when the list of postponements started filtering through.
I had to smile (sorry) when your game at Darlington was called off at the last minute in midweek. Swings and roundabouts I suppose. Call it off early and you’re damned, call it off late and you’re damned.
Now a few people are getting their nickers in a twist, rightly so, over Tuesday’s rescheduling, coming with very little notice. I have to agree, it does seem like Tamworth have got the rough end of the wedge on this one. I noticed Feb 13 was available for both clubs.
Meanwhile, we were held to a draw by the pride of Lincolnshire on Tuesday night. It was a shocking game, with very few chances, on a terribly windy night. No arguing, Boston were certainly worthy of a point. Still nine points is a nice cushion to have over your boys despite your two games in hand.
And then finally, our best player Jamie Jellis departed this week for a crack at league football with Walsall. The lad should have a cracking career ahead of him and is one of the best players I’ve seen in the red shirt in 60 years of watching the club.
Kyle Finn, on the other hand, is a good player in his own right, and plays out wide on the right. He scores goals and makes assists. I’m sure I’m giving nothing away, your backroom lads will have done your homework on us.
So until Tuesday, I bid you adieu. Hopefully by then the gap will be 11 or 12. Don’t underestimate Peterborough, they are much improved.
Cheers.
