Just worries me how long it will be before a struggling EFL club come sniffing around for AB

[BigLeftToe]

Cracking result…onwards and upwards!

We’d have won that with Campbell in goal

[Cliff Byrne’s Right Peg]

Incredible performance; cannot give them enough credit.

Travelling support were superb too, a great time to be watching the Iron.

Whatever you’ve been taking to come to that conclusion, please stop. I know you’re emotionally invested in Campbell, but let me break this to you, he currently isn’t good enough. If we could extend the young lad from Leeds loan and send Campbell out on loan it would be fantastic.

[RoamingBull]

What a belting win.

Unfortunately not around to see many games but two wins against two top ex league clubs like ourselves is fantastic.

Well done to AB and the team.

The result of the last few matches will have the rest of the division watching. If we can keep this squad together, and perhaps add a couple more, we will have all the ingredients for a very successful season.

And I even got to send a video clip of Ewing’s penalty to my daughter and her boyfriend during the match last night. Bragging rights are in full effect!

[TheJuryeffsOut]

Absolutely fantastic match to be at, the atmosphere from The Iron fans was amazing.
Every player gave their all but I have to say Beestin is on fire, what a game he had.

They looked a good side, last season’s Iron team would have folded in the end ,our ability to break at pace now is a big improvement and certainly helps to alleviate feeling of dread when we’ve made all our subs and are under pressure.

It’s a huge improvement on ‘Jimmyball’ – whatever that deluded notion of football was.

Still conceding goals in added time!

Helps if you score yourself straight after mind.

[Deereyme66]

That last goal was a huge relief. The dread was rife by before that. Headlines being written: ‘We was robbed’.

[TheJuryeffsOut]

Classic sucker punch from us. They pulled one back and were pushing for an equaliser and we broke away and got the third. Pace, confidence and quality from Sellars-Fleming.

[BigLeftToe]

Great goal from TSF and he’s exactly the sort of outlet we need when under pressure like that towards the end of a game that we’re leading in (i.e. not Mark Beck!).

Even his players don’t want to play for him now, they go to the wrong town for a match.

[sufc_not_on_tour]

Listened to both interviews by their manager, whilst very briefly recognising our performance he’s delusional with regards to his team’s lack of performance.
He’ll be looking for another job before Christmas.

Perhaps controversial but I wonder what the difference would be if Campbell had a month coached by the keeper coaches at a Premiership club.

I personally didn’t see anything from last night that Campbell can’t do in this new guy.In fact Campbell got called a flapper for a very similar goal to the one we conceded last night by Burney on here .I might add that just because last night didn’t require great keeping,I’m not saying Campbell is a better keeper than last night,s or that Campbell is a great keeper,something I’ve never said btw

[Deereyme66]

I’d wager Campbell or Watson would have been getting stick last night had either been playing and conceded that goal if York had gone on to equalise. In fact, I’d guarantee it.

[Deereyme66]

With this bit of a hoo har about keepers rumbling on, I’m sticking to what I said post match about it above. The goal Mahady conceded wasn’t too disimilar to the one Rory conceded a few games back and as noted by some, one game is hardly a yardstick to judge his long term capability over Watson and Campbell. Unless their detractors are watching all three at training every day like Butler is.

You’ll not win anything with a,19 year old keeper.The double standards are sickening

[Deereyme66]

We wouldn’t be where we are now had the ‘Butler Out’ brigade had their way last season so why there’s a frequent need to undermine and criticise his decision making is baffling. ‘It’s all opinion’ some might say, but it’s more than opinion when it’s prominent on social media. That’s just heckling and can’t do any good.

Promotion last season.
A 53.85% win rate whilst in post.
What more does AB have to do to convince people?

Some will still say they were right, and their critics wrong, while saying Butler only changed because of reading comments on here, Twitter, crowd reaction or a board ultimatum. A negative opinion on Butler at the time was fine, there was a bad run, but it was very impulsive. Criticism was not always constructive. Managers can learn and there was little appreciation of that and maybe there should be more patience and consideration of that.

Being wrong is fine, but it’s the continued assertion from some that there was nothing wrong in knee jerk reactions to a bad run of form, while those who urged patience and thought he might learn were still wrong. And, no, this isn’t an attempt to crow. I have been as wrong as those were about Butler.

[Northumbiron]

The Minstermen certainly bounced back today with an away win at Pools.

[Awaywego]

Of course people were right, the football they were watching was shite in the main and never really improved all season, remember one game being lauded on that was the new year game against Kings Lynn, any others where we were outstanding?
Scrapped over the line to achieve promotion against Chester where we were second best for more than half the game, but over that line Butler took us and all credit for that and his place in history.

This season in an higher league like chalk and cheese, already seen at least 6/7 games like the Kings Lynn game.
Butler’s doing good and many of us who wanted him out now look forward to watching and there’s nothing wrong in that it’s not everyone has that chip on their shoulder that can’t be removed with the likes of 64 with his, some of us want all our players to do well and always have for that matter.

[Siderite]

They were right? So we should have got rid of Butler, even though we did gain promotion and have now turned a corner, when there is no guarantee a replacement would have done better? It takes some chutzpah to declare yourself correct when we were told not sacking him would see us midtable or not achieving anything and those saying he might learn and improve are wrong when he learned and improved.
