76th minute winner for Boston.  An OG.

We have another dog in the fight for a local derby.

Kidderminster showing like Boreham that a good cup run can damage league results.

Forest are the recent exception.

I think Kiddy and Boreham Wood will be a force to be reckoned with their FA Cup money next season. It's a bit different for Forest as they are only 1 level off the top. Not sure about Boreham Wood but Kiddy are part-time so it's much more understandable that things took their toll.

Didn’t Borehamwood spunk a fair chunk of theirs?

Spend what they like, their style of play is basic and once teams figured it out they began to drop off. Yes the cup run didn’t help with that but Christ, on Tuesday they offered zilch…

You don't get the money until the end of the season but it is guaranteed so the directors may have loaned it. Looking at a few of their players, I guess that Dubai trip they went on was all inclusive...

I was very disappointed with them on Tuesday. I expected them to really have a go at keeping their slim play-off hopes alive.

I assume the Chorley keeper is not on PH's summer shopping list

Bloody hell, Clayton Donaldson on the bench. How old is he now? Must be pushing 40!

Paddy McLaughlan captain too I see.

Great finish by The Shop btw and what was their keeper doing for the winner?

I live in York but did not go to the Chorley game.  Just watched the highlights.  Excellent goal from The Shop and Paddy Mc MOM.  There were worse players than Paddy at Grimsby.

The atmosphere was electric and it sounded as if there were more than nearly 7,000 there.  York have a very good away following and sold all their 600 tickets in 3 minutes for away to 2nd place Brackley tomorrow.

  (A concern for them - and us if we beat County - is the short timespan before another tough away game.  A longer rest favours the home team).

Is is interesting to link cup success with league progression.  It worked for Lincoln and we will see with Boreham Wood.  Exeter made about £6 million from a sell on fee for Ollie Watkins and other sales.  It is only this month that they have been promoted.  Even with 4 promotion places.

At the top end money is not enough.  For success Excellent planning, management, teamwork, hard work and decision-making are needed from top to bottom.  Liverpool, Man City, Glasgow Rangers, Brentford and Brighton are good examples here. Some of the less fashionable Spanish teams and Ijax as well.

Man United and PSG (both teams a collection of dysfunctional individual mercenaries) who are not all prepared to give everything for the team.   2 examples of how bad things can go wrong, even with limitless money.  

[Maybe Barcelona and Juventus now. Leeds also to a lesser extent. The Leeds owners were happy to let Bielsa have a very small squad, which could not cope with early season injuries.
