Boston United host Woking on Tuesday night in a match that could shape the early-season relegation picture. The Pilgrims sit 18th in the National League on eight points, just one place and a single point above their visitors in the table.
Paul Hurst’s side are winless in their last five league outings, a run that includes a 1-1 draw with Woking just days ago. That result at the Jakemans Stadium saw T. Agyemang open the scoring in the sixth minute before Woking equalised late on. The recent form of DLLDL underlines the need for a victory to create breathing space.
The stakes at the bottom
With both teams separated by the narrowest of margins, the outcome carries extra importance. Woking arrive having failed to win any of their previous four matches, a sequence that includes a defeat to Wealdstone. The historical record between the clubs suggests another tight affair, with the last two meetings ending in 1-1 and 2-2 draws.
Manager Paul Hurst is in the early phase of his third season at the helm, having guided the club to promotion from the National League North three seasons ago. His squad has been bolstered by loan arrivals this term, including Derby County’s Lennon Wheeldon and West Bromwich Albion’s Ollie Bostock. Young forward Ken Aboh, signed from Norwich City’s Under-21s, has been a bright spot with three goals and seven assists so far.
