That is a load of tripe Uptheiron99, we are paying customers, just like if yourself WAS going into the same eatery week after week, year after year, and then for a lengthy period of time the food BECAME tastless and cold, and you are no longer enjoying it any longer, what would you do??, just eat it and accept that the food was continually terrible and not worth eating, or after complaining many times that what is being served to you is rubbish, would you continue attending the same earery???
NO ONE MOANS WITHOUT REASON, IF AFTER THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM MOST SUPPORTERS FALL ON DEAF EARS, AND THE MANAGEMENT CONTINUE TO TELL YOU THAT WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE A LEAGUE TWO FOOTBALL TEAM, NO MATTER HOW BAD THEY ARE, THEY ARE WRONG BY TELLING PAYING CUSTOMERS THIS.

I think that when Mr Swann stated that he had many reasons to turn his back on the club, but hadn’t done so, which sounded as if the supporter had no real reason to say that, and should stick with them.
I think that when Mr Swann stated that he had done all that he possibly could for the club, was not what fans wanted to hear, the one thing that he could do was invite Cox into his office and INSTRUCT him to get the team to entertain the fans now that we are safe, and to shelve this one up front defensive rubbish that he has instilled into the team.

Hi guys, I have had a couple of Bru / Scunny fans call me today suggesting that I am the ‘old codger’ that cropped up on the Mr Swann interview on Tuesday, I think that this is not the case, because I have been attending Scunny’s matches since 1951 (not1949), and I think the age of 90 was stated, I wish the fan the best, but I will be 80 in two weeks time, so a bit to go to catch up!!!, maybe it was supposed to be me, with a couple of errors being made ha ha!
I also have stated on here that I shall not be renewing my long term season ticket, even though I have some good friends that sit near me, it is simply because I am not enjoying what is being servedup up on the field, and with this bloody 5-4-1 system that has been adopted at GP, what’s the point of going!!!! This does not men that I will not atten any matches, but that I will select an odd game, just because The Iron are in my blood, but good luck to any season ticket holder that does renew their tickets, and I wish them and the club all the best.

Here goes with the grim task of trying to look on the bright side for another matcj summary.
WATSON—6—Did what he could and no fault with either goal made one fantastic point blank save.
HOWE–6–He is getting better with ga,e time. works well with Gilliead.
BEDEAU—6—Defended well. but lacks height for corners were we are very vunerable.
CLARKE—5—Two bad toughes which went unpunished, Onariasse badly missed.
O’MALLEY—7—I like him playing, up against a really fast winger, but stuck with him.
BEESTIN—6—Not able to support forward play because of Carlisle constant attack.
GREEN—5—Did nothing again before being injured.
KARACAN–8—Probably my MOM, see his class in him.
SPENCE–6–Played ok, but no support for our inapt front.
GILLIEAD–7—A few good runs, but head dropped after 0-2 down, nothing up front again.
LOFT—4—The young guy gets worse, no ball control, poor passer and no support from anywhere.EISA–5—He should be playing better than this, whats gone wrong??
MCTEE–5—Also has given up, poor team system and no one is really bothered in Scunny.REF—8—Did very well and kept it going where possible, a first year ref is not narmally as good as this guy, and they are normally whistle happy.
COX—4—When will this guy give up with his one up front rubbish, and try attacking for a change, and for fans watching to get a scrap of enjoyment and entertainment out of our matches.
Cox has knocked all fun out of supporting the team, we are well safe in the league, but still will not let the team play a bi of attacking football, his systems have ruined any fun out of watching.
Sad report, but what can we say after getting overrun, and it should have been 5-0 with the chances they missed.Two shots though they were both on target in 94 minutes.
That is better than last week Mick, thus one up front doesn;t appear to be working tonight, maybe it is because it is a new sytem for Scunny!!!!
After the match, Swanny is putting all the club problems to the Corona 19 virus, I wasn;t aware that any of our players had actually had the virus, I can understand the finacial side of things being very badly effected, but on the field it is the players and mnagement that have that task, for the record, does the virus only effect Scunthorpe. there was me thinking that rules where in place throughout the country!!!
Awaywego—–If playersare not going to be kept on at the end of the season, or going to be offered contracts with the salary being slashed, they do not want tellingthis imfo with ten or twelve games remaining. Uf you were in their position, would you be happy and giving your best, because there are a lot of players that will not bein that group.
Who in their rightmind would employ a squad of about 35 players and naybe 15 youngsters, this being for a team in League Two, same as being stated on here, a squad of about 20 better class of players rather that 35 with 15 or more not good enough, we are saying that we have players not trying, but are they capable of doing any better, we watch Loft, and he cannot even control a ball. Hippolyte cannot even pass a ball, and Greem only touches a ball for about two mins per game, Turan does not even need a ball, and we have our normal squad of about eight long term or regular injured players in the club, so what chance is there of turning out an entertaining team. Added to this the manager plays a system where we never get above three shot on target in 90 mins, and one up front even against very poor teams, and all we get is “well he did not get a good squad handed to him, Christ he has been here all season and we are playing his style of shite, and it appears to be getting worse, he moans at the team after games, but it is him that is selecting the players, and told to play his pormation, end of story.

i can see what you are saying MK, but the enjoyment and entertainment has gone out of watching Scunny, I appreciate that there have been many not too clever seasons past, but I have never felt like turning my back on the club before, but you hear of players not wanting to be here, players told that they will not get new contracts, or players going to have their present salary slashed etc etc, this is surely being reflected on the field, and some players are not bothering, this is new to me in 69 years of attending our matches. I really, really wish that I could sit down and say that I had actually enjoyed two or three games on the trot, I think that the Bradford match was the only one that I enjoyed in the past month.
There are many Scunny fans that keep telling us that Cox took on a very poor squad, this may be so, but after8 months in charge, the standard of entertainment seems to get worse, yes I have paid out the £10 fees for all away matches, and will be signing up for Tuesdays game as usual, but I can confirm that I WILL NOT BE RENEWING MY SEASON TICKET, I will probably, or should I say certainly attend a game or two, but I am not committing myself like past years, if it be snowing, freezing or blowing, sitting in the Cluggy freezing one’s balls off to watch suchshite as being presented to us this season, if the club have a team of non-league players, they shouldexpect non-league crowds.

Awaywgo—-Yes I Nhave done my share of moaning thus season, in fact more than my share, but can you honestly say that youhave enjoyed the season yourself????, it has been total defensive dia boring dross, you can count on one hand the games that have been entertaining.
And you are wrong mate regarding me being there next season, I may take in two or three games, but there is no way of getting my usual season ticket, in fact you can have the seat (I31) in the Cluggy, and there are some nice people in nearbye seats, I say that you can have the seat, I was forgetting that the refurbishment of the ground may be ongoing next season, Mr Swann wants it to be ongoing along the side of the construction of the 160 new appartments that will be built on the car park. That build maybe a good place for jobs for some of the players, they certainly are not footballers

I cannot see why you are worried Eondergoals if Gilliead, Eisa., McAtee, KVv, and Karacan will be leaving at the end of the season., we shall still have Turan, Green, Hippolyte, Jarvis and Loft remaining at the club, and with the management team in place, do you doubt that they cannot knock a good attacking team together, and you are obviously forgetting our recruitment and scouting team led by Swann junior, the trouble with you Wondergoals is that you do not carry enough faith in the remaining squad.
This situation will result in a saving in printing season tickets, simply because no one will want any, as a follower of Scunny for 70 years, I never thought that I would feel like this, but there is no possible way that I shall be attending and watching this shite that is played under Cox, Mussa and Lillis, and I would think that next years gates will be similar to the one’s this season. I shall still monitor Scunny results and read the opinins of the few remaining supporters that bother to go.
For Christ sake Coxey, give us a break and tell Swanny that youcannot do the managers job, he may even promote his son from scouting, noting will come as much of a shocknowadays.

You would have thought that after ten days without a match, that we would have been at full speed and at them continually, instead of just going through the motions, apart from Gilliead, they should be brought in tomorrow for extra training.

Sorry to say, but this was a game of complete rubbish, is there anyone that does not agree with this comment???
90 minuteswithout a shot on goal by Scunny, and Crawley had one shot on target, only one goalkeeping save in the full match.HOWARD—5—N othing to do really, but still made a few errors..
O’MALLEY—6—No overlaps today, defended ok.
BEDEAU–6—Defended ok.
ONARIASE—hEAR—7—Was the heart of a shakey defence, very much overworked.
HOWE—6—defended well, but no overlaps.
GILLIEAD—9—The only Scunny player that performed well, any Scunny danger came from him.
KARACAN–6–Did ok without a lot of support to the front.
BEESTIN—5—Spence should have played, caught out a few times.
GREEN—4—FaST but none productive, was missing for the first hour, not good enough.
EISA—6—Had some good runs but end product was poor.
LOFT—2—What can I say, no ball control, poor game and a complete waste of space.bring
back Novak!!!REF—8—No co,plaints, trued to keep a pathetic game flowing, a good ref.
COX—3—Nice statmeent from him “we are going for wins in all of our last ten matches” followed by an home game against a team that has lost 6 of their last 7 away games, and we do not have one shot on target during the 93 minute, what a bloody clown!!!!
Some better players on the bench than some of his selections, har too late in bringing on subs, for a team that was playing no less than pathetic. A lucky point for us, Crawley were poor, but our lot?????.1 user thanked author for this post.
The lads put in a good shift tonight and came away with the 3 points. They ride their luck at times and Bradford hit the woodwork 3 tumes and pronably two or three good chances, but after saying that, Scunny scored two good goals and also missed a few chances, but I think that we just shaded the game.
HOWARD—5—His kicking is terrible, and test your nerves a few times, no saves to make.
BROWN–6—Played ok although being injured during the 1st half.
BEDEAU—8—Is getting a good partnership going with Clarke, very good defending throughout.
KARACAN—7—Also played well in midfield, but always does.
HOWE—8—Played very well, he is quick and links up well with Gilliead, great debut.
GILLIEAD—9—MOM tonight, had some great runs, and what a ball for 1st goal.
SPENCE–7—Worked very hard, and full of energy.
CLARKE—8—Has really settled in the centre of our defence, played really well.
GREEN—6—Quick, 2 or 3 good runs, but then falls over, took the goal well.
EISA—7—-Did enough to keep his place, took his goal well.
LOFT—5—Had a stinker, lost the ball, or poor passes from him.REF—8—A ggod ref who was not drawn to diving players, noy an easy game to ref really.
COX—6—Did ok, but still a defensive system, but is limited with the players we havw available, very pleasing to see Howe perform well, he stood out, and will be a good signing.
A good performance by the lads, but the 2-0 score lime could have been 5-4 with the chances both teams had. Enough points to call ourselves safe for this season, Gilliead, How and Kanacan need long term contracts sorting out, but Gilliead is Champiuonship level really, and far too good for Leagues 1 or 2.—

The real problem is that Sarfend showed us that gorgeous, old-time fourth division football.
They were only interested in closing us down and giving us no room to move – which they did very well. They stopped the prospect of any footballing skills being able to be used. Their one mindset was to be destructive.
Sadly we did not seem capable of coping with a side whose tactics were that negative and so, whenever we won possession, out came the big hoof upfield.
I truly hope that they do not gain another point this season.
Let us have them out of the league! – Bye bye. Good riddance.
Urgh. Nasty!lesgeo—–I cannot agree my friend, you say that Southend stopped us playing football and hoofed the ball upfield throughout, that was exactly what we were doing ourselves, and if Southend are so good at stopping teams playing, why are they sitting at the bottom of the League???
The game was a terrible match, and in my opinion Southend put more effort into it than we did, the truth is that both teams are bloody crap.
Just look at the stats, Scunthorpe had ONE SHOT ON TARGET.
Scunthorpe had TWO CORNERS IN THE GAME.
sOUTHEND HAD two shots on target.
Southend had ONE CORNER THROUGHOUT THE MATCH.So the combined total shots on target was THREE.
The total combined corners in the game was THREE.Does that not tell its own storey, and Cox said before the game “THAT WE WILL ATTACK THEM”, maybe he was making reference to Clarks stupidity and not the football side of things, I am sorry to say, but if Cox stays next season, supporters will just stay away, we want entertaining , and to enjoy attending.
I can say for sure that if I had been at GP yesterday, I would have left by 70 mins at most, ptobably along with a few others.

Match ended with Scunny scoring a 93td min equalizwer to make it 1-1. This being a fair result, after Scunny shading the first half, then not turning iop for the first 35 mins of the second half.
HOWARD—5–Not a lot to do, no real saves of note, should have done better with their goal.
ROWE—6—Looked safe enough, a few good crosses.
BEDEAU—7—I thought he played well today, better than normal.
CLARKE—8—My MOM today, got through a lot of work, and better in midfield than full back.
BROWN—5—Far to many back passes, a few miss placed passes, prefer O’Malley.
GILLIEAD—7–Some very good quick runs by him, a slow starter today.
KARACAN—6—Played ok until a first half injury, hope he is fit soon.
SPENCE—7—Played well.
GREEN—7—Fast, but lacks finnishing touch, needs to practice finishing runs.
KVV—7—After a poor start, put in many very good set piece crosses, subbed instead of LOFT.
LOFT—6—Tried hard without much impact but got very little support up front.McAtee looked lively, and maybe time for a start.
BEESTIN—6—Played ok when brought on.
Hammil–6–Not on long, scored a goal and then injured, looks a ad one possibly.REF—7—Was ok, but must swat up on the advantagerule, he played advantage many times, and then the team kept possession he blew up, why, why, why.
COX—5—Where was the attacking that he was going to order, maybe just the last 10 mins, Oldham are a poor team, and one win in nine matches backs up that statement, but only one point from the home game, and a last min one at that, this guy will never manage a team that plays attacking football, season ticket sales will not top 200 next season with this management team in charge
Another easy match on Saturduy with another very poor team in Southend, I hope that Cox plays attacking football against them, I am very sure that he will!!!!!
