Manager’s Assessment

Paul Hurst said the team “would have taken six points from the first three games, although it’s hard to say you’re happy losing one.” He praised the players’ work off the ball, especially Lennon and Ken, and noted that the win was a “huge challenge” at Boreham Wood.

Upcoming Fixtures

Boston United travel to Boreham Wood on Thursday at 7.45pm. The match is moved to give the Pilgrims extra preparation time before a Bank Holiday fixture against Hornchurch on Monday at 3pm.

Boreham Wood’s Threat

Hurst highlighted that Boreham Wood have scored three in every league game so far and more in their cup match, describing them as an “excellent team” and a likely favourite for the title. He warned that the game will test Boston United’s patience and defensive shape.

Tactical Notes

Against Altrincham, Hurst said the opposition had more possession but still showed quality. He emphasized the need for patience and building from the back, noting that the team had to take possession deeper and create chances through set-plays.
