No New Signings?

[PhilAnders]

Deadline was 20 mins ago…no signings as yet. Brogan and Howe recalled tomorrow?

[Awaywego]

Joey Dawson is back from his loan spell.

Mo fadera loaned to Guisley.

[Ironawe]

Leo has gone back so we’re now short up front unless we can do some late business

[PhilAnders]

Kian Scales could be recalled from Radcliffe to cover Midfield and Right Back, JB could the provide a bit of pace at centre back and Horton switch back to LB! I don’t see joey Dawson filling Leo Farrell’s boots!

[Ironawe]

Howe is back I think so Butler will hopefully deploy a plan B 4-4-2

Pleased to see it.

Not sure Scales brings much

[Deereyme66]

He might bring a bit more oomph than some lately. Great player on his day and can defend well.

I thought everything about him was good except the final action of each move. In other words he’d scrap and get the ball back then give it away with a bad pass, or he’d burst past defenders into the area and then scuff his shot out for a goal kick, or he’d make an incisive run from deep and smack a 25-yard shot into the stands etc etc etc

I watched him carefully in one home match last season. He lost possession 9 times in the first half.

I was a big Scales fan in NLN when only his finishing let him down, but the National League proved a step too far.

As the previous posters said he gives the ball away willy nilly and there was no end product, he was running around like an headless chicken at times.

You know.

Interestingly Les I did the same with Evans (watched the long passes out of the back) in the last home match, 9 out of the first 10 failed to reach a Scunthorpe player. In a world of playing to stats you think someone would have a word. Either more practice needed or maybe don’t do as many.

Check out Denton too. TBF as a whole our pass success rate must be abysmal. Do the staff have access to this stuff because there’s been no noticable improvement.

True. Hardly just Scales who gives the ball away easily. Still think it’s a good move bringing him back for the run in and playoffs. He may just come back and hit form when we need it

[Iron-awe]

If we need someone to cover full back knowing our defensive frailties then Scales with his enthusiastic energy is a good call, we made need extra legs mid second half in a playoff game.

[Deereyme66]

Agreed.

[another fed up fan]

I thought Brogan would have been recalled too extra bodies for playoffs

Scales was getting pelters and was cheered out the door wasn’t ?

[Deereyme66]

As I recall, yes. Not from me mind. Not a convincing performance yesterday tbh. Shaky. Hopefully improves.

The Brackley manager seems to think they were the better side

[Deereyme66]

I can see how they’ve lost so many games but they could and should have scored too.

He also said missing chances has been the story of their season and better sides don’t do that too often, plus I don’t recall them missing many chances yesterday, it was a poor wind affected game that was won by a piece of class from a player who funnily enough was on the better side.

[BigLeftToe]

If we kept our composure when in and around the oppositions penalty area we could have easily won by 3 or 4. Far too many wrong decisions made in the final third.
