Willis: Ugly Wins Will Be Welcomed By Struggling Boston

The stopper helped Gainsborough Trinity survive the National League North drop last season before joining their Lincolnshire rivals Boston in the summer.

It’s been a disappointing campaign for the Pilgrims, however, and they find themselves in the bottom three.

New boss Craig Elliott oversaw his first victory in charge of Boston two weeks ago when they beat York City 2-1.

They will need more outcomes like that one to climb out of danger and Willis knows it’s all about results and not performances in their predicament.

“We need to become winners,” he told the Boston Standard. “It doesn’t matter how we get our three points. We just need to dig in and keep going.

“We’ll treat every game the same - we’ve got to believe. The manager’s brought the staff in and we have to buy into their philosophies and give it everything.

“We need the fans behind us. It’s a cliche, but they’re the 12th man - especially in a stadium like this. They get behind us and that helps in the last 10-20 minutes.”
