Very interesting comments on the game. My view of Scott Boden hasn't changed. If we had already got him I would have kept him, I wouldn't go out of my way to get him. But I'll admit goals do make a huge difference.
He's never been a regular mainspring starter in a successful team. He scores some goals and is useful but just as there was at Gateshead someone else is the vital cog. At Gateshead it was a Middlesbrough loanee. Boden has been missed, but his loss hasn't devastated them. That doesn't mean he isn't doing a decent job for us now, but the bigger question is if we are finishing off the season like Orient last season, can Boden be next season's Macauley Bonne? My opinion is this Boden is the best Boden there is and that we would need something else to carry us into a promotion position.
Scott's career:-
2007–2008 Sheffield United
2008 → IFK Mariehamn (loan)
2008–2013 Chesterfield
2011 → Macclesfield Town (loan)
2013 → Alfreton Town (loan)
2013–2014 Macclesfield Town
2014–2015 FC Halifax Town
2015–2016 Newport County
2016–2017 Inverness Caledonian Thistle
2017–2018 Wrexham
2018–2019 Gateshead
2019– Chesterfield
If I were a Havant fan I'd be thinking thinking they have to win at least one of their two games this week to have a chance of saving themselves and they are both away games. For us one win and a draw would mean for any of the current bottom four to overtake us in view of our goal difference, they'd have have to get 16 more points at least.
Like Dancing I find it hard to understand why Maguire isn't just a regular name on our team sheet and we could decide later where to play him. Tuesday he was captain of England's non-league team, come Saturday he is struggling for a place in quite a poor team ......... someone is getting it wrong.
By the way whilst we are talking goalscorers - Grimsby, locked at 0-0 with Bury, didn't think Dennis was worth even five minutes on the pitch to try and break the deadlock.
