Quakers go to York Street on Saturday aiming to bounce back from last week’s FA cup exit at home to South Shields.
Plenty of words have been said about last week’s below-par performance, and Quakers know that they must produce a much better performance at the home of one of their former Football League rivals if they are to come back with the points.
Quakers are currently in 11th place in the table following their 3-0 home win over FC United in their last home league game, while Boston are 17th, five points behind them. Quakers are currently two points below the play off places.
Quakers have had a much-needed free midweek, but Boston were in FA cup action against Haughmond in Shropshire, beating them 5-0 in a replay after drawing 1-1 last Saturday.
Their team was: Willis, Wakefield, McGowan, Keane, Yeomans, Clifton, McGuire (sub Gray 85), Broadhead, Rollins, (sub Hemmings 74), Thomas, Smith (sub Tshmanga 70)
Subs (not used): Chapman, Hawley, Beatson, Greeves (gk).
Previous to their two FA Cup games, Boston had lost 2-1 at Bradford Park Avenue, and 5-2 at Blyth.
The last time we met: Quakers won 2-1 at York Street last season, check the goals here
