Averaging while all five full-back options AFC Fylde. 3.71 goals against per game, the Pilgrims do not have a worse record against any side they’ve met more than thrice – and the only other clubs at more than three haven’t faced Boston since the early 1960s. That said, Boston will feel they owe Fylde one after coming away empty-handed in November- and I would argue this year’s defence is better than any they lined up with against the Coasters before. Two goals in quick succession, both individual mistakes, were the Pilgrims’ undoing three weeks ago: but they’ll fancy their chances of a fifth clean sheet in six today.
