February 13, 2026 at 10:37 am #316261On paper it is a home win however, Boston always seem to find a way to make it difficult for us. That said, given Tuesday’s result, and the up-and-coming fixtures, I feel this is a *must win* match for us, and expect the team to apply themselves to the task in hand.
Prediction: Scunthorpe 2 Boston 1
Attendance: 4628 (298 away)1 user thanked author for this post.
February 13, 2026 at 11:28 am #316263Surely it should be the biggest away following of the season so far.
February 13, 2026 at 12:09 pm #316264Yeah, good call…
February 13, 2026 at 2:31 pm #316265I agree with SODIron, it is a must win game for the iron and a chance to get our goal difference higher but can see Boston spoiling our party so we have to perform.
And that the following game is away at Rochdale, with York to come..
I would drop Ewing and play Beestin and Smith.
As for goal difference what if at the end we are 3 goals short of the 3rd place Home play off tie, the 3 goals we should have got for the pathetic no show of Wealdstone Players..1 user thanked author for this post.
February 13, 2026 at 3:54 pm #316266As ‘must win’ games go, this isn’t one of them. Would like to see one though and or least a draw. Giving Ewing a rest for Beestin might be a good call. Start Smith too.
February 13, 2026 at 4:09 pm #316267Always seem to find a way to get a result against us boring 0-0 or 0-1
Hopefully I am wrongFebruary 14, 2026 at 2:29 pm #316282Good to see that Starbuck and Smith are starting. Hopefully a good call.

February 14, 2026 at 3:02 pm #316285im going for a positive 3-1 Scunny win for a change DM
gotta win these sorta games if we are truly a good outfit cant be dropping points ..
February 14, 2026 at 3:28 pm #316287scrap that prediction scunny 3-0 down after 23 mins ..
February 14, 2026 at 3:50 pm #316288I think we have only beaten Boston once from the time they entered the football league
February 14, 2026 at 3:53 pm #3162897 goals against in 120mins of play.
Maybe we needed a new defender than anyone in the forward line.
February 14, 2026 at 5:03 pm #316291Er … 9.

February 14, 2026 at 5:05 pm #316292Denton needs to be dropped. Horton to LB. Boyce back into the side.
Rest Ewing.3 users thanked author for this post.
February 14, 2026 at 5:23 pm #316293Nice to see them park the bus against us, pleased for Hurst though he got a raw deal when he was here.

February 14, 2026 at 5:43 pm #316295Pleased this was not a must win game for the iron.
If Boston can get 6 against us at our place, how many will rochdale get !!
Butler just stares at you when you voice your opinions.
A big crowd, a shocking performance. We obviously want an away quarter final in the play offs..
Is Connor Smith a bad signing, he only played the first half and did nothing..February 14, 2026 at 5:52 pm #316296Not sure if we can say if Smith is a bad signing or not yet but what have Hurst, Smith or Dausch done that Dec Howe wouldn’t have done? Absolutely nothing.

February 14, 2026 at 5:53 pm #316297One of those games, defensively awful for at least four of their goals and scrappy play on a poor pitch doesn’t help. AB needs to sort this out and get us organised for Tuesday night at Rochdale or else it will be another difficult watch and three defeats on the bounce but we have to put this one to bed quickly and move on, a very poor afternoon indeed.
February 14, 2026 at 5:58 pm #3162983 wages to replace Dec Howe,none of them are better

February 14, 2026 at 6:03 pm #316299I had Rowley at fault for three of those goals.
The goal he gave the free kick away for.
I was screaming at the players –
It was obvious they were going to ping it to the back post. We had Ewing and Rowley on the back post against their 3 biggest players. Really poorFebruary 14, 2026 at 6:12 pm #316300One of those teams thought it was an important derby game as they always do.
The other team didn’t as they usually do.1 user thanked author for this post.
February 14, 2026 at 6:19 pm #316301i agree with 64 and BigLeftToe, we need Dec Howe, his so called replacements have done nothing.
And why are we not threatening from corners or free kicks.
Boston were far better.
Started with the non performance against Horsham, a lucky win against southend, a loss at Carlisle
and to let 6 in, over to you Positivity Dave, and Andy ‘ i am proud of all my players ‘ Butler..
Rochdale could be horrible especially as they only drew today..1 user thanked author for this post.
February 14, 2026 at 6:22 pm #316302When was the last game we actually got up for against so called mediocre opposition!
One of the Derby games and they show nothing.2 users thanked author for this post.
February 14, 2026 at 6:28 pm #316303Can’t help thinking that AB missed a trick by not introducing the defenders to each other before kick off.
Shocking performance.3 users thanked author for this post.
February 14, 2026 at 6:42 pm #316305Hurst and Barrows dropped, smith and Dausch started and we get absolutely hammered. Bring back Brogan and Howe asap.

I love My Bloody Valentine, but not this one!
February 14, 2026 at 6:54 pm #316307Listened to Butler post match interview. Honestly he can come across at childish sometimes.
One thing he did say which is a worry is several players were already carrying knocks.
He didn’t mention Cal Roberts but he was clearly struggling with his groin.
I would be surprised if he plays on Tuesday,
And that would be massive. I don’t know what Ewing is playing at either.Btw we had a stonewall handball penalty, you could here the slap of the hand from some way away. Linesman saw it but chickened out.Would still of lost mind.

February 14, 2026 at 8:39 pm #316310Well my boring 0-0 was a bit off
Having a wobble hopefully not for longFebruary 14, 2026 at 8:52 pm #316311It wasn’t a penalty,his arms were by his side so hard to give.Im more worried the cross hit the 1st defender
