“We’ve lost to three of the top four from last year and lost to Scunthorpe last week when we had seven players missing.
“We travel to 2018 champions Bracebridge Heath on Saturday, which will be another tough encounter for us.”
Boston currently trail Alford and District by five points, although the gap between the bottom two and the rest is 35 points.

“It goes without saying that the Alford game is huge. Confidence is low and a win looks so far away at the moment.
“We’ve got to raise our standards and focus on performing to our maximum. If we do that then the results will come.”
On Saturday, Boston will be hoping to welcome back Mahir Yousuff and Andrew Hewitt to the side.
