Stevenage made it into the draw for the second round of the FA Cup after a superb performance up
at Port Vale. Boro dominated the game in long spells and were unlucky not to win the game
comfortably. Vale looked poor and I think underestimated the task ahead of them. Boro manager
Graham Westley will be delighted with his side's performance after ripping the League 2 club apart
for the majority of the game, but will be frustrated that missed chances again cost his side
winning away from home for the second weekend in a row.
Boro continued their fantastic unbeaten home run after a 5-3 victory over Gateshead this
afternoon. In wet and windy conditions both teams struggled to really get hold of the game and
kicking against the wind certainly seemed to affect Boro at times during the first half.
It was a rare opportunity for Graham Westley to name the same team as last Saturday after an
impressive performance against Port Vale.
