Boston United players and fans respond to AFC Telford United win

Brad Abbott was feeling the love after making his 100th Boston United appearance.

The midfielder had plenty to celebrate as the Pilgrims beat AFC Telford 1-0, moving up to third in the National League North and stretching the winning run to six games.

"100 club. Buzzing to mark it with another 3pts! Boys unreal again," he wrote on Twitter.

Not a Brad day

United fans were also full of praise for the player

"Brad Abbott is a baller" - @Ben_Swain.

"Been outstanding this season. Passion, desire, commitment, work rate and a bit of quality and intelligence on the ball. A joy to watch" - @alyon1985.

A case for the defence

There was also plenty of support for the defence, who kept their 16th clean sheet of the campaign

"Those three centre backs look solid!!" - @Matthewthomasuk.

"Thanoj superb again. Heslop came on and looked solid and passed well. Ainge and Sheils Solid as usual" - @si237g

A real blow

The blustery conditions ensured the game wasn't a classic, which many supporters highlighted

"Not pretty! Major highlight is 3 more points. Though Thewlis looked very lively when he came on, albeit for a limited time. Back 3/Crook looked reasonably solid too" - @creasedogg

"Thought we were a little off it today. Like we’d wished it had been called off but had to play. Maybe I’m wrong and they were playing to set tactics" - @RealRichieB

"I think that’s what you call getting the job done in difficult conditions. Positives are when they play 3 at the back it looks solid as a unit and Scott Garner is always talking and keeping things in check. Thought Thewlis looked sharp when he came on. Other than that an ugly win" - @kissyfur40

"Not the best game but great result keeps the run going" - @scottbrian1974

"Much needed 3 points. 2 more of those this week and that’ll be a great February" - @Drewhuskisson

Bucks don't fizz

Meanwhile, some onlookers weren't too impressed by the threat posed by Telford.

"If Telford were a paint, they’d be magnolia" - @Lord_C_Beckett

"Long time since I've seen such a poor team visit York Street. Seemed to play with no pride or passion, time wasting from the first minute"

Paying the penalty

Some honest supporters thought United were a bit lucky being awarded the spot kick for Arlen Birch's challenge on Frank Mulhern

"Was never a penalty, but a wins a win" - @Brendon_efc
