The Broadhall Way (Issue 20)

0

Another issue cramed packed with all your usual favourites: The Worrier, Away Amazed, Two Hats View, The Thinker and The Boro Judgement...  Also in this issue. Click to continue reading...

This Westcarr situation

0
It was confirmed this afternoon that Craig Westcarr has re-joined Kettering Town, the club he apparently left in the summer. This whole saga has been a nightmare. When the deal started Kettering chairman Imraan Ladaak accused Stevenage of "illegally approaching" Westcarr who was out of contract this summer. Click to continue reading...

Monday Round-up

0
Stevenage kick off their reserve season in the Football Combination East on Wednesday night with a home fixture against Wycombe Wanderers who we drew with in pre-season. Boro are expected to name a mix of first team players and some players from the newly formed "School of Excellence". Some names expected to feature are Peter Vincenti, [.

Boro 1-1 Weymouth

1
Graham Westley and Stevenage Borough are still looking for their first win of the season after being held at home by a very "professional" Weymouth side managed by former Chelsea boss John Hollins. Changes were made to the team after Tuesday's poor showing against Eastbourne with Luke Oliver, Daryl McMahon and Calum Willock coming into the side [. Click to continue reading...

Attractive or winning football?

0
In light of Graham Westley's recent comments on the official site where he talked about his aim to get Boro to play a more expansive game that is pleasing on the eye, even though he knows that a direct game would win football matches, I thought I'd give my views on this contentious issue. This is a topic that has been talked about nationally [. Click to continue reading...

3rd time lucky?

0
Stevenage host unbeaten Weymouth tomorrow afternoon looking to get some points on the board at the 3rd time of asking. After the opening day hammering at Wrexham, Boro looked to try and get back to winning ways in midweek, but were soundly beaten by Eastbourne Borough. Not only have the results been poor, but certain players are [. Click to continue reading...

Lopo’s View

0
With the season finally underway and two games under the belt it would be fair to say that it hasn't been the great start that I was hoping for! When Wrexham was announced as our first game back in July I would of settled for a draw even before really seeing the squad. We have tended to struggle [. Click to continue reading...

Poor start continues

0
Well, this game was supposed to be the game when Boro's season kicked into action. Instead another poor defensive display and a lack of creativity in the final third led to Stevenage being beaten by newly promoted Eastbourne by 3 goals to 1. Graham Westley made 3 changes from the team that started against Wrexham on [. Click to continue reading...

Eastbourne next up

0
Stevenage aim to bounce back after Saturday's heavy defeat to Wrexham with a win on Tuesday night at home to newly promoted Eastbourne Boro. The south coast side lost their first game in the Blue Square Premier on Saturday to Rushden & Diamonds thanks to a Rob Wolleaston penalty and won't be looking forward to their [.

Boro hammered on opening day

1
Stevenage's first game of the new season was one to forget after they were thrashed 5-0 by Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground. Boro now prop up the Blue Square Premier table on goal difference after a shambolic performance in the second half in North Wales. Not only was it a bad result, but defensively we looked [.

Wrexham Preview

1
Boro kick off their new season tomorrow afternoon with a trip to North Wales and newly relegated Wrexham. After a reasonably good pre-season Boro are quietly confident of getting a result on the opening day, although they will have to improve their recent opening day record of recent seasons. Wrexham meanwhile are a much changed [. Click to continue reading...

Pre-Season Review

0
It was just over 3 weeks ago that we played our first pre-season game down at Gillingham. It seems like a lot longer than that. In that time Boro have played 11 games, winning 6, losing 3 and drawing 2. They have scored 30 goals, but have conceded 15. It has been a very intensive time for the players with [.

Wednesday Round Up

0
Stevenage finished pre-season in style with a 7-1 victory over Slough Town. Lee Boylan hit 5 goals as he aims to push for a place in Saturday's team at Wrexham. Other goals from Andy Drury and Calum Willock completed the rout. Again Westley used "squad" players for the game against non-league opposition and would of been [. Click to continue reading...

Slough Preview

0
Boro travel to Berkshire tomorrow night to visit Slough Town in their last pre-season friendly. Graham Westley has already said that the game will be used for squad players. The team line up will be interesting though as it will probably give a good idea as to who will and will not play at the Racecourse. Click to continue reading...

Boro 1-1 Leyton Orient

0
Stevenage were held 1-1 in their final home game of pre-season after an impressive performance against League 1 side Leyton Orient. Graham Westley fielded a strong team as it was their last test before the new season kicks off next Saturday. Steve Morison was partnered up front by Mitchell Cole who plays in that position [.
