They will be a serious problem for us. The team we beat 4-1 in early February included only 5 of the players who beat Carlisle on Sunday. Judging by the 2 games I watched on Dzone against Carlisle and Forest Green, they have developed into a very good side.
Against FG they struggled to keep on top of a poor and disjointed team, but gradually took over. Against Carlisle they dominated from the start in attack, midfield and defence, playing 2 fast clever wide men in Ayinde and Abdulmalik and the 2 Hendo clones in the middle, Rush and Brunt. The back 3 play a wide game, reminiscent of Dale`s best form. Again they have pace with Bush (surely one of the best in the division) and Ilesamni outstanding. Good keeper.
All in all they play a very wide game, suited you would think to Wembley`s wide open spaces, and they were certainly not overawed by all the Carlisle noise in a big stadium, who they quietened very quickly. I suspect Hughes and his team thought they would roll them over very easily.
Abdulmalik is a rare talent with his speed, two-footed approach and directness, and needs special attention, but Ayinde is also a big threat. Bush has an enormous long throw and they use a variety of worked plans at set pieces. We don`t.
The good news is that their goalscoring has slowed down recently, but they had 4 clean sheets before Carlisle scored. The defence certainly looks very efficient. Also Solihull walloped them 4-1 in April by going at them hard from the outset. But they did beat York, something we never did.
I hope Jim has some attacking plans. |  | | |  |

They will be very worried about Mani D.
4 goals in 2 games against them. |  |

"We will be a serious problem for them" is what should start any discussion about the final |  |

Completely agree, nor have I seen anything anywhere which suggests we don't know how good Boreham Wood have been this season.
They might well have beaten York, but they still finished 16 points behind us, whom they didn't beat, nor take any points off.
Maybe "I hope Luke has some defensive plans" would be just as appropriate, given we've scored six goals against his team and were the league's third-highest scorers. (Not to mention, the joint-best defensively). [Post edited 7 May 13:46]
