It wasn’t a good watch but we’ve been spoilt. Unbeaten in 13. Yes missed opportunity but how other many teams will say that this season. Unfortunately we won’t win every game and more so than not will draw or lose to teams we should beat.

 @michael was right after all?
 
but Rochdale -they have dropped 6 points already, Saturday will be 9- lost, at last. at home tonight, so...
 
one way or another, FGR are still unbeaten (like only another 3 teams in Zone 92 above plus 1 more in NL) and top of the league!

That was a poor display no cohesion no effort misplaced passes Ed and no final ball.
In the end they fashioned 2 chances in the last minute so we were lucky to get a point.
Too many draws is history repeating itself.
Very disappointing and an awful watch.
 
Big big improvement needed for Saturday.

Disappointing, a lack of precision in passing did for us in both midfield and attack. Boston were nothing special but did all they had to to block us. Inniss probably my man of the match for us - consistently in the right place and in control.
 
Nice little stadium in an extremely characterful and attractive town.
 
Still, we need to do better....

Worst display of the season by a long way.  Boston played for 0-0 but could have got more at the end as our keeper saved us then The officials were woefully inadequate at stopped the time wasting especially by their keeper and this set the tone for the game.  Doidgey looked up for it when he came on which is good news!

Reasonable result with players rested, lack of some cohesion expected. Boston have had some good results and unlike other teams gave us little space. Roll on Saturday!

Don't just blame the players, team selection. Fans karma must have relevance as to why home form, results far less than needs be. Supposed to be Vegan , this world's greenest ! From what read on this fan page, and seen at away games definitely hypocrisy on this.
If I can brave snoop reports on the **** northern******** ,whether read or whatever,as was Dale tonight, and thrive, play 2 ,90 min/wk at near 70, on full vegan diet , must be hope for them

Congratulations Christian.

not there so cant say what really happened .
 
i am ok (just ) with a point -as i thought fgr would lose tonight-despite the public persona, the undertone was complacency .
 
RS said pace/pace /pace tonight-should win the game.
pace alone is not enough-you need balance .
 
its the same when supporters get excited with a team playing 3 strikers-and they think that means goals-no-the opposite usually happens.
midfield is where most games or minimally control of the game happens -again-not there so cant really say-but the midfield sacrifice in favour of pace just seemed unbalanced as soon as team was announced.
 
mendy excepted -noticeable that it was the four 'midfield ' players/starters who got subbed .
will RS say-got it a bit wrong -fair enough-we all get things wrong -or will it be 'other reasons '.
 
lesson learned (one hopes ) and only two points dropped .
that all given- every credit for not conceding the nil which is good enough for me-and not seen the saves-but it seems mcnicholas is increasingly proving a really good signing
