..... had such great success at Grays, that he was offered several league positions, but turned them all down to take charge at Stevenage Borough.
However, things have not worked out, quite as planned and Boro, one of the pre season favourites for promotion, are still awaiting their first win after 4 starts.
They may have turned the corner on Saturday, with a fine 3-3 draw at Morecambe, never an easy place to get a result. New striker, Steve Morison, a five figure signing from Bishop's Stortford, scored all 3 goals and looks a shrewd investment. At the same time, Stimson added some additional experience to the squad, with the signature of Steve Guppy, veteran of 16 league seasons with a number of clubs.
Goals are not really a problem for Boro, they have netted in every game, scoring 7 in total. Today's visitors Forest Green have the opposite problem, they are pointless and are yet to even trouble the scorer once. Quite frankly, they are in a mess, Saturday's home loss to Gravesend was watched by the lowest Conference crowd of the season. Board, fans and players are devoid of confidence and following the defeat, boss Gary Owers and his assistant, left the club by the dreaded, "mutual consent".
"Green" only avoided relegation on the last day of the season back in May and "on the road" have registered just one win, in 23 starts.
Stevenage will give everything for the points today, they are a much better side than the visitors and should prove it with a convincing win. They could not be facing Forest Green at a better time and are a confident selection.
4 points Stevenage -1 ball asian line 2.075. Back later, with one more selection today.
Good Luck.
