Why not ten more games? that is the number that has popped up over the past two seasons, why only two more, although he is bloody clueless, he seems to be liked by a few supporters.
HE MIGHT BE A VERY NICE MAN, BUT G
HE HASN’T GOT A BLOODY CLUE REGARDING RUNNING A FOOTBALL TEAM, last year it was he has taken over other managers rubbish, well this bloody lot he has assembled is not even league standard, not even non-league.What are the gates down to, 2,447 including away fans ha ha!, they are luckey to get that few, what about cold January days!!!! 1,500 ???

Whilst you keep turning up to see such rubbish, things will remain as they are, simply because I do not honestly think that Swann and Cox know what the hell they are doing. Just all stay away and make Swann take some action, if not we will not have a club next year, amazing that you lot cannot see what is happening.

Peter Swann!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time to Go!!
Absolutely clueless
Don’t destroy our club… do the right thing and sling your hook!!!
It’s a bit late Shooter to say “don’t destroy our club” this has happened already over the past three years. I still have that feeling that land and club bankrupsy has a lot to do with what is happening, it is a very sad situation, but some fans keep saying “give it another ten matches”, the trouble is that this statement has been stated from the beginning of last season, and things never change, well thats not true, they do change for the worse, the problem is that there will be enough of the beleivers that give Swann and Cox their backing, why ho why this is so is too bad to be happening.

Cox is the dummy, Scunny are looking for an operator to complete the pairing.

We really must go along with this “we looked leggy” thing, we have to worry if he suggests that this squad can make a football team, regarding concentrating on defending, has it not occured to someone at GP, that if we play two or even three up front, we might keep the ball up field a bit, there are many more players in the treatment room then ever get selected in attacking positions, it must be great for teams playing us, all their managers need to say before kick off is “look this team does not play with forwards, so you can all play higher up the pitch without any cgance of them having a shot on target, and we all know that if we do not have a shot on target, they are not attempting to win the game (simple).
Defo needs to worry less about others and let them worry about us, ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK.
It’s almost as if Wilcox is still around.
No mate it is not like Wilcox is still around, simply because we did win a few games, or at least draw many, with this clown it is usually defeat after defeat, and boring defensive defeats at that, but Swann seems to like him for some reason?????????

Certainly some strange decisions and tactics from Mr Cox, but he’s the one paid to make them and it will be his head that rolls if the team fails.
There hasn’t been any evidence of exciting attacking football which he purported when he arrived, he’s very much safety first and very wary of the opposition who ever they are, he doesn’t seem confident that we are better than anyone, it’s quite concerning with him at the helm.
Vadar—-Although I agree with what you are saying except one point of yours, you say that “if the team fails, it will be Coxes head that rolls”, but don’t you think that wit one win in our last seventeen matches, this could almost be classed as a big failure” ????, Swann has sacked many managers with far better records than Cox, in fact NONE of them had anywhere near Coxs record of results, and the abillity to get rid of fans, by getting his teams to serve up shite every week.

Question – is he really that pacey?
It’s a really good question. I’m not so sure he is.
Matt—-no matter how fast a player is, he must have the basic football skills at the very least, I am affraid that Green has no ball control whatsoever, he cannot beat a defender simply because he has not got the basic skills to place the ball past a defender and then use his so called speed, his passing is terrible, and how many times has he been seen to fluff simple chances. In other words, he is not and never will be a professional footballer, the same can be said for Hippolyte and Turan, all three should have been binned, but Cox appears to have some hope in Green and Hiipolyte, because he keeps picking them, thats one reason that we have ONE WIN IN SEVENTEEN MATCHES,a bloody pathetic record that still keeps him in a job, like selecting Green, there may be a reason for Cox still being employed, and relegation almost a certainty.

Another shambles, 95 mins without a shot on target, what is matter with this manager, he plays this 4-4-1-1, and after losing Onarise 4-4-1, resulting in the bloody ball coming back into our half every time anyone tried to move forward, this management are taking up out of the football league without any doubt, they are clueless. Young Pugh should not only have been brought on, he should have been selected from the off, how the hell Green ever get selected is beyond me, he is not even National League standard, he cannot control a ball, he cannot pass a ball, and if pathetic at shooting, and wastes the ball all the time, that does not leave much else does it.
My Rating marks for today as could be seen on the I-Follower showing of the match:-
WATSON—7—Did ok and no fault with the goals, made a few good stops.
DAVIS—6—Not too safe in defending and had his part in both goals.
WOOD—7—Played well first half and had him down for an 8, dropped off a bit 2nd half.
TAFT—7—OK, without being outstanding, did not last the game out.
BEESTIN—8—About our best player in a very moderate team.
THOMPSON—6—Plodded away and got in a few saving tackles.
ONARASIE—4—Red carded early which made things difficult for our poor team.
ROWE—6—Did not stand out for his effort, bit of a fringe player at best.
HACKNEY—5—Not the best of cebut games, nothing stood out for me.
JARVIS–5—Trotted about a lot, but this 4-4-1-1 is not a winning system.
GREEN—4—Fast, but has no football skills what so ever, should never start a game.SUBS Did not make things a lot better, and once again never had a shot on target.
COX—4—Clueless as usual, subs were one for one with the team never threatening, Pugh should have started, and one of the centre forwards that sat on the bench, Green should never be considered for starting any match, but Cox sees things differently.
Now gone 17 matches with just the one win, that being the Tranmere game when we were awarded a penalty which wasn’t ever one. But Mr Cox is still the manager, and it appears that he still gets the backing of some long term forum fans, I wonder if they will still be giving it the old Neil this and Neil that when we go into the National League, it will be interesting.
REF—7—Average ref, but even the Italian International Ref Golena could not polish a turd like this match. I wonder if we will be getting a club message from Mr Swann regarding the club, surely it was not Covid or the 331 die hards fault for another inept defeat, surely at some point it must point to club management!!!
I would first like to say that I don’t approve of racist abuse, less still monkey chanting. But I also don’t like this ‘taking the knee’ business.
Personally I won’t boo this, I would simply turn my back on the players while they do it.
This is 100% the same as my feelings, I also do not approve of racism or chanting, but I do not approve of this take the knee thing, and have said exactly the same thing to people, although I have not come into contact with it, only on TV, but I would just turn away from the players if doing it whilst I am attending a game or where ever, I would hope that people would respect my views as well as I do theirs.

Samways—Do you not think that you are using the word “winning team” a bit loosly pal, one win in 16 matches is surely not a winning team!!!, if you had said a team that has just won a match for the first time in months, that would be possibly a better description of the situation.
When you say that the defence looks solid, that is because there are usually 10 of them, I would think that many more fans would like to see a bit of attacking play, it might just tempt us to return to see what is going on!!!, 2,500 gates are not the signs of happy Scunthorpe supporters.
You cannot find too many folks less PC than me, BJ.
But, forgetting all the tired modern labels – there is something we used to call ‘decency’.
Having ‘a larf’ at someone else’s expense is bullying.
‘Banter’ is what happens only between mates & family you know for certain can take it. If just one feels uncomfortable in a group – it is wrong.
(As a former teacher how many bollockings have I issued over years to gobby, bullying teens who claim that their nastiness is ‘just a bit of banter, sir’.)
Yes – I know there are people out there whose sensitivities can border the ridiculous who can be a real pain – but we must try to live with one another.
‘Love thy neighbour’ takes a bit of beating.
Do I practise what I preach?
Please list all the personal insults I’ve used on Bru over the last decade or so.Les, you have probably answered your own question pal, when you say that you have corrected many teen for things that they have obviously said, in my opiniom there is a big difference to being at school and being at a football match, I know yiu did not make reference about being at school, things certainly point in that direction.
Fans singing “get yourtits out for the boys is heard at other sports, when a nice young thing comes onto the sceen, normally the lady will just smile or laugh and take it as a compiment, I have never seen any take offence. I am sure you will agree that it is just banter and can be laughed off, and certainly not anything that requires an announcement on the club tanoy system.1 user thanked author for this post.
ironking—- you are completely correct in what you say, there is no wonder whatsoever that fans chanted about wanting our club back, what does Swann expect that fans will just accept the terrible thing that Swann has done and just contiue turning up as if nothing has happened, it must be accepted that most of that debt has resulted in the Chairmans running of the club over the past five or six years. As far as the chanting, I was not there, but I have been informed that the Donny Road lads were chanting “get your tits out for the boys”, this is normal, and will have happened at every ground in the country, normally the young lady involved just laughs it off, which would probably have been the case against Sutton, it is DEFINITELY normal.
And regarding you not hearing any racists chants, I would bet my pension that it was because there wasn’t any, if there had been, there would certainly have been a comment on this forum from Deerey, and I have not see one.
But this club statement is just to try and distract away from what are the proper problems, and ground, car park and training pitch land is possibly the main one, although there must be a big worry regarding attendance figures of 2,500 gates for early season matches, just wondering what gates will be in Jan / Feb, but again this will be the supporters fault, and no blame whatsoever on the way things are run, or how the team is performing.
Only time will tell, but there are some worrying times ahead for SUFC, I cannot remember ever being such bad feelings between management and supporters in my 70 years of being a Scunny supporter, and a club statement aiming all blame onto fans certainly will not help the situation.
