Stevenage embark on another FA Cup journey this weekend as they travel up to Stoke to face
League 2 side Port Vale. This time last year we were preparing for another trip up the M1, that
time it was to Leicester, who comfortably beat us 3-0 at the Walkers Stadium. Now though, Boro are
a much improved and experienced team.

Stevenage have ended their interest in Michael Brough, for now. Graham Westley told the Comet
that the two clubs have failed to agree a new loan deal and that any deal is a long way off.
Westley stated that he wanted to keep the multi-functional player, but with the clubs not being
able to agree a deal, the Boro boss may have to look elsewhere for enforcements to his squad.

Reports over the weekend linked former Boro favourite and now Peterborough forward George Boyd
with a £6m move to Tottenham. Boyd has been arguably the Posh's best player in their first season
in the Championship so far and his recent form is thought to have alerted Premier League clubs to
making an offer.

Stevenage will get home this evening and wonder how they didn't end up taking all 3 points after
a dominant second half performance. Although Kettering had a couple of opportunities in added
time, the second half was mostly at the other end as a host of Boro players missed chances to give
the Hertfordshire side the victory.

Boro face arguably their biggest game of the season against 3rd place Kettering Town at
Rockingham Road this weekend. Graham Westley's side, who currently sit 2nd, are six points behind
table toppers Oxford United while Kettering are a point further back of Boro, but have a game in
hand. 3 points in Northamptonshire would give Boro a bit of breathing space as they challenge for
top spot.

Boro made hard work of it, but made it through safely to the 1st round proper of the FA Cup
after beating Chelmsford City at Melbourne Park. Graham Westley named a strong side, knowing that
the Blue Square South side would be no pushovers. Eddie Odhiambo came back into the side on the
left wing while Yemi Odubade once again partnered the in form Charlie Griffin upfront.

Boro have a break from league action this Saturday as the FA Cup campaign starts against
Chelmsford City. It was only a few months ago that Boro faced Chelmsford in a pre-season friendly
where Charlie Griffin and Chris Beardsley both scored Boro won by 2-1.
Chelmsford find themselves in 11th place in Conference South despite winning 3 of their last 5
league games.

It was a frustrating night at the Lamex Stadium last night as Boro were held to a 0-0 draw by
Wrexham. It wasn't the best game you will ever see and with the rain just before the game the pitch
was very slick which made it difficult to control for both sides. Boro made one change to Saturday
with Chris Beardsley starting in place of Andy Drury who again seems to be struggling to keep fit
this season.

Boro's good form continued on Saturday with a hard working win against Salisbury. Boro lined up
with Bostwick one again at centre half and Yemi Odubade continuing up front alongside former
Salisbury man Charlie Griffin. Once again Lee Boylan and Mitchell Cole missed out through injury
and they were joined by Eddie Odhiambo who picked up a knock last week against Hayes & Yeading.

On the back of Boro's biggest win of the season so far last Saturday, we entertain in-form
Salisbury at The Lamex Stadium tomorrow. It may prove to be a tough game however history is on our
with 4 wins and one draw in our last 6 meetings. Our last defeat was back in March 2008 when Matt
Tubbs scored a last gasp winner to deny Peter Taylor's team from going second in the league at the
time.

After a fantastic result against local rivals Luton last Tuesday night, Boro returned to action
against a much improved York team who found themselves in the playoff places after a poor season
last year. Martin Foyle has signed some good players over the summer and have certainly made a
claim to be this years surprise package.

I haven't got an internet connection until the weekend, but thought I better put something up
tonight after a superb result and performance away at Luton Town. I arrived about 45 mins before
kick off after finding somewhere to park in the ghetto! The atmosphere was electric in the ground.
The Boro fans can be very proud of themselves tonight.

With Luton, Cambridge and Oxford all dropping points, Stevenage missed a big oppoortunity to
close the gap on the leaders of the Blue Square Premier after being held at home by lowly Grays.
The Essex side came into the game after a run of 3 straight defeats, but frustrated Westley's side
all evening.

It's Grays at home tonight and Boro are bang in form after an impressive couple of results on
the road. It's a far cry from the team from 12 months ago. Boro were struggling to get consistent
results and as a result were stuck in mid table. It looked the same at the beginning of this
campaign, but Boro have been hard to beat in recent weeks and their strong character has come
through to pick up some vital points against Rushden & Mansfield.

After dramatic victory against Mansfield last Saturday, Boro return to action tomorrow against
bottom side Chester. After having 25 points deducted at the start of the season it was always going
to be an up hill struggle for Chester to overcome and 9 points from their opening 9 games have not
given them a great start either.
