70 mins – Quadruple substitution as Maddison, Hudson, Mhamdi and Graves come on for Bayliss, Smith, Vanderpuye and Munton.
68 mins – Just as in the first half, Shepshed score twice in quick succession – a strike from 30 yards by Chad Timson. Game over now, surely.
65 mins – The Poachers have a mountain to climb now as Medrano increases the home side’s lead.
60 mins – Substitution for the Poachers, Kris Zaluzinskis coming on to replace Siddons.
We’re back underway in the second half – remember, we’ve never beaten Shepshed so the Poachers are going to have to defy history if they’re to end their winless run.
Half-time – The Poachers trail at the break.
45 mins – Five additional minutes to play in the first half.
35 mins – Siddons goes into the book for what is deemed to be a late tackle.
28 mins – Smart save by Jake West to keep it at 2-1.
16 mins – Two in two minutes as Jiah Medrano gives the hosts the lead.
15 mins – Shepshed equalise through Declan Peart from a corner.
GOAL – Stand-in captain Matt Cotton give us an early lead after 8 minutes! Great cross from Tom Siddons which is touched down by Cotts, who then dances around the defenders and slots it home!
We’re underway!
Here’s how we line up today as loanee Daniel Vanderpuye comes in for his first start. Harry Limb has a one-match suspension after picking up five yellow cards this season:
We’ll have live updates here from 3pm as Boston Town travel to Leicestershire to face another one of our bogey teams.
We’ve never beaten Shepshed in 10 previous attempts, losing eight and winning just two – here’s hoping it’s 11th time lucky!
