On to Boring Wood

Well good luck Stones. It's the South Kesteven Sports Stadium for me

At least Stones played better in the first half, albeit 1-0 down, than last week. However it is obvious that Andre jr. does not control his box and their goal came from a corner when he should have called the ball rather than let Brookes head it out. That was not the first time that happened in this half.

Communication across the back not good.

Why was our equaliser rules out?

No idea but they appealed

I am sick and tired of officials pandering to the side that kicks off the most over a goal, when they presumably didn't see anything wrong with it when originally 'giving the goal'.

Fair enough, I haven't gone today, but I feel ever since that Tonbridge game with the Raphe Brown mistaken identity, we generally lose out in these calls.

That one stood! Tight at the back now lads.

A deserved 1-1 draw for my points in the prediction league but should have been 2-1 to the Stones given the disallowed goal. Frantic finish with both teams having chances but an infinitely better Stones performance after Monday’s debacle.

And Abbot Ale at £4.35/pint in the Pick and Shovel (thanks Sword for the recommendation). Reasonable day out all round especially given I could travel all the way on my 60+ (free) Oyster card.

Good away point. They’ll feel they’ve thrown it away but we had some half chances.

Still not really sure why the goal was disallowed. They defo appealed for
It though!! Anyone?

Commentary suggests a hand ball, and that it took a while for the officials to decide what to do as Boreham complained. Awful club. Awful attitude.

Great to hear it was a better performance and always good to get something from BW. However, just three goals in six games, from two defenders (one off the knee) has to be a major concern.
Something is very wrong when neither attack or midfield can't find a goal between them.

Good point but still playing mediocre football and a failing in attack.

We played really well today no hoofing it down the channels played on the deck for a change on a top quality pitch . We should have won this Aaron Blair worked his socks off but he needs a partner who can score the other forwards aren’t up to it . Reiss Greenidge MOM.
Looking good if we can get another forward in.
Much much better

I know you’ll say “well they didn’t score did they” but they didn’t fail today.

In my opinion our best performance of the season against a strong Boreham Wood team and a draw was the very least we deserved which will be a good point if we follow it up with a win on tuesday.We seem more relaxed away from home than in front of big expectant crowds at home and it's a shame that we now lose Reece Greenidge for the next 2 games due to international duty.

Commentary…?
I couldn’t find Stones Live for love nor money…or did you get BW’s commentary?
