Tony Daws wanted to release Cribb a few years ago…
Have we seen anything of Cribb yet to be outraged by this statement?

Was at the game today and watched Cribb closely…I’m sorry but how the hell is he making the starting lineup at the moment!? Looked lost and didn’t get anywhere near the opposition. The one or two times he was actually in possession he gave the ball away. Then to read Hill’s post match reaction saying he thinks he matched up to Ebou Adams. Absolutely no chance!
Dan Gallimore on the other hand, looked very promising at centre back.

Hill’s more than disappointed…he’s done worse than Cox which is an almighty achievement!

I’d imagine some conversations went along these lines:
SE: Peter, why is your son head of recruitment?
PS: Because Coxy really, really wanted him to be, even against my wishes.
SE: Cox isn’t here anymore, perhaps we should look to make a change?
PS: How dare you disrespect my family!!
SE: Ok byeeee1 user thanked author for this post.
I honestly think we’d have more points now if Cox remained in charge.

Oh to be 2-0 up under Hill with his supposed January reinforcements…hasn’t happened yet!

Just saw the lineup, probably the weakest bench I’ve ever seen. Why isn’t Burns starting?

The fact that last night was considered a good performance and an improvement tells you everything about how far we’ve fallen. We were rubbish, never looked like scoring and had to rely on the crossbar and two crucial Millen blocks to save us a point.
Remember when we used to complain that Gary Hooper missed too many 1-on-1’s!? Now I literally can’t remember the last time we’ve created a 1-on-1 opportunity, let alone score from it!

I know we haven’t got time but to gel eight new players together will take at least six weeks
If that’s the case then why bother wasting money to sign them at the end of January? Especially as the majority are either on loan or on contracts until the end of the season so won’t be here after that anyway.

Was at the game and it was just complete men against boys. We actually had a couple of half decent chances to go 1 up but to a man Swindon were better than us in every department on the pitch (can see why Grant didn’t get in their team, lost count the number of times he got caught in possession or gave the ball away).
I’m also really struggling to see how a Premiership team ever paid £1m for Matheson!? He’s the worst full back at the club by far and we have a few poor ones! Probably one of the worst performances I’ve seen in an Iron shirt, looked like a lost schoolboy the entire game.

Bring back Cox! We need the players unfit and incapable of anything but defending the 18 yard box! :-)
Good idea, he does have a better PPG ratio than Mr. Hill after all.

Just not good enough. We were down before today but this just puts a few more nails in the already well sealed coffin.

Win every other game hahaha. You do realise we’ve won 4 games out of the last 50? Yes, that’s right, 4 out of the last 50!!

Realistically we need 1.5 points per game which would take us to 46 at the end of the season. That would have kept us up in the past 7 seasons in League 2 (depending on goal difference).
An incredibly tough ask given that we’ve only won 4 games in the past 50! We need to start by winning our home games, starting this weekend. Hopefully the new signings immediately click.

CT’s lineup is the one I’d go for (very much agree with the comments regarding Pugh, shouldn’t be anywhere near our best 11). If everyone is fit I still think Thompson is our best left back.

Might be because he’s played for 2 clubs this season so wouldn’t be able to play for another.
If that’s the case his options were either he gets payed off, sits at home and trains on his own as no other club can sign him. Or…earn the same money whilst training within a professional club setup every day with the (very!) slight chance you might make the playing squad.
Don’t really blame him for staying, the blame should be on whoever gave the man a 2 year contract!!

Scunthorpe United top goalscorers so far this season:
Hippolyte – 4
Loft – 4
Scrimshaw – 3
Davis – 2All gone this transfer window. 7 goals have been scored this season by the entire squad that’s left on our books. We’re down regardless of the likes of KD bloody T being paid up!
Any news on new transfers?
Blackpool Gazette are reporting that Nuttall is still due to sign for us by the end of the day.

Signing two players from a team just promoted from L2 should have been excellent business, why they turned out to be two duds is a mystery.
They were basically Morecambe reserves though.
The previous season Kenyon started 10 league games, Davis 22.
