Preview: Boston United vs County

pscjm 2015/2016 Season, Match Preview , , ,

Boston host County on the east coast as the Pilgrims look to avenge their opening day defeat at Edgeley Park (See highlights below).

 

Since and including that day in August, United’s tough awakening to the 2015/16 season continued, and they found themselves struggling within the first month or two of the season. But steady progress has seen them move up and above County, sitting 5 points ahead of the Hatters, albeit having played a match more.

For County, this will provide a stern test and add validity to the idea that, after the victory versus Corby last weekend, they’ve turned a corner and are on the way up again after a disappointing November.

Opponents: 

Founded: 1933

Nickname: The Pilgrims

Ground: York Street (6,643)

2014/2015 Average Attendance: 1149

Position Last Year: 3rd (Play Off Semi Finals)

Match Preview: County vs Boston

pscjm 2015/2016 Season, Match Preview , ,

Intro: 

The first game of the season is nearly upon us and in all the time that County have been in non-league football, I don’t think the expectation and the excitement has been quite as high as it has been. That excitement will most likely be reflected in the attendance at Edgeley Park, as it looks likely that the 3317 that witnessed the horrific 4-1 loss 2 seasons ago on the opening day of the season will be eclipsed.

As far as opponents go in this division, they don’t get too much tougher than Boston. Since manager Dennis Greene took over in 2013, the Pilgrims have been on a trajectory which has seen them improve their positioning in the division each year. The Lincolnshire outfit were actually only seconds away from reaching the play-off final last year; Only a last ditch wonder goal for Chorley denied their passage.

The game on Saturday will also see a return to Edgeley Park for Carl Piergianni, and on last season’s performances, one of the best defenders in the division and also Boston’s player of the year.

Team News: 

It’s anybody’s guess as to which team Neil Young will put out this weekend, but if it’s anything like pre-season then you can expect Hurst to start in goal, with a back four which involves a combination of Ellison, O’Hanlon, Thorniley (on loan from Everton). Duxbury actually started the last pre-season game against GAP but it remains to be seen whether he’ll be replaced by Gareth Roberts, who wasn’t in the squad last Saturday. Up top, it’s likely that Odejayi, Baggie and Gonzales will also play some part, having been present in every friendly since signing for the Hatters.

When & Where: 

3pm, Saturday 8th August.

Edgeley Park. Of course.
