Elliott takes the positives, but warns Boston United things must improve

Craig Elliott has positives to take from his first game as Boston United manager, but he has told his squad that things must still improve.

The Pilgrims remain second bottom after today’s 3-1 defeat at Harrogate Town in which Ashley Hemmings’ fourth-minute penalty was cancelled out by goals from Joe Leesley, George Thomson and Jordan Thewlis.

“It felt like a cup tie, the first 15 minutes,” Elliott said.

“There were plenty of goals, incidents and action.

“It was a good start, maybe we should have killed the game but we got involved in a bit of a basketball game. They’d attack then we’d attack.”
