Tuesday against Lincoln is probably the last good chance for trialists to impress.
You would think Cox would want a near starting 11 to play most of the Wimbledon game. Second 11 to play Grantham on the following Tuesday but with respect to Grantham not a real test.

July 25, 2021 at 3:25 pm #210940“Was really impressed with Callum Wilson”
Not surprised, he’s an England International.
Do Newcastle know he played for us yesterday?
July 25, 2021 at 6:03 pm #210946Quite!
July 25, 2021 at 6:19 pm #210947was really impressed with Callum Wilson on the wing, this lad is little but he ran rings round there defence and he is ours.
Aye, Cameron Wilson, a Goolie. I thought he was stand-out too, looks an exciting player. Pity he went off but Cox probably decided he could play a bit and wanted to see others in action.
It was pretty encouraging all round, and suprisingly entertaining too. Can’t remember the last time that happened.
Spare a thought for the guy who used to walk among the crowd home and away selling raffle tickets with the customary good cheer – Dave(?). He’s apparently been let go by the club after donkey’s years of service. Now about to launch a book ‘SUFC – Nutty Bits and Iron Filings’. Only sold privately, so I hear from a pal who saw him yesterday.

July 25, 2021 at 6:57 pm #210952That’ll be John Staff. If true, shows the ever growing disconnect between club and supporters

July 25, 2021 at 7:23 pm #210954Staffy gave me a leaflet yesterday, has he been let go, the only thing I heard was they weren’t doing Draw tickets in the friendlies and nothing had been decided for league games, so you must have heard more, I know it would be difficult doing it cash free, the item I will miss is the programme, even doing a basic one would have been OK.

July 25, 2021 at 9:15 pm #210957I have been quite impressed with the Iron in the two friendlies thus far. Look to playing a more traditional 4-4-2.
Watson, Collins, Davis, Taft, Onariase, kenyan, Beestin, Loft, Thompson and O’Malley all look decent.
The lad at 4 v Hull City was very impressive great vision, good range of passing and covered a lot of ground.
Greene was wearing the captains armband v Burton but yesterday Davis wore it first half and never stopped talking/organising. Taft wore it 2nd half.
Well done to Lex Icon might not be all doom and gloom afterall.
July 25, 2021 at 10:04 pm #210959Staffy seemed confident that the 50:50 would be here for Swindon game but wasn’t sure if he’d be given a card reader or accepting cash!
July 25, 2021 at 10:26 pm #210961I guess club away coach travel will be hit and miss this season ( deffo a miss for me ) but Staffy was a main organiser and invariably headed a coach most away weeks. Wonder where all that will fit in over the next nine months or so?

Think he’s been given his cards, unfortunately.

July 26, 2021 at 12:06 pm #210971Take it the club will take the same stance with the coach travel. Is the half time draw a club thing? I always thought it was independent of the club.
July 26, 2021 at 12:23 pm #210973Don’t think the club would even consider getting rid of john if it wasn’t for COVID-19, but it’s just to risky having someone walking between the supporters on match day.
I would hope he can do his usual 50/50 near the club shop/tickets office as long as you wear a mask.July 26, 2021 at 4:32 pm #210981So no stewards, then? 😄😄😄😄
