Lee Canoville's goal against Nuneaton was his second of the season

Boston caretaker coach Jason Lee says his side can go into the Blue Square Bet Premier play-offs with confidence after their 1-1 draw with Nuneaton.

The Pilgrims went behind to Guy Hadland's goal but levelled through Lee Canoville's header.

Lee told BBC Lincolnshire: "As long as we keep believing in what we're doing, I think this group of players can go a long way and that bodes well.

"The boys have got a great attitude but we've got quality as well."

Boston had a second effort from Gareth Jelleyman ruled out for a foul on Nuneaton keeper Danny Alcock, although it appeared he had been impeded by Hadland rather than one of the Pilgrims' players.

I'd like to think they're a little nervous now, knowing that they could be facing us again Boston United caretaker coach Jason Lee

"It was a poor decision," said Lee.

"There were a few of those but I'm not going to moan about that.

"We were disappointed with the goal we conceded but I felt we played some great stuff."

Boston, in third, still have a chance to pip Telford to second in the table, and will play either Guiseley or Nuneaton in the play-off semi-finals depending on results on the final day of the season.

But Lee feels the Pilgrims will have the edge should they face Nuneaton again.

"I think they've seen what we're all about and we've had the majority of the game," he said.

"I'd like to think they're a little nervous now, knowing that they could be facing us again."
