Out of interest Sanfran, if Pugh stayed who would you take out of the current team to make room for him?

He’s probably our 6th choice central midfield option behind Butterfield, Scales, Clunan, Shrimpton and Beestin…IMO of course.

[BigLeftToe]

Would have liked to have seen Elliott in for Whitehall (agree he’s not doing enough at the minute, 2 goals from open play in his last 15 games) and also Roberts in for Law (another who I don’t think is doing enough to stay in the team at the mo).

Expecting a tight game, will take another scrappy 1-0.

[BigLeftToe]

We looked a lot more dangerous when Elliot replaced Whitehall and actually gave their defenders something to worry about. I like Whitehall, but there are too many games where he pretty much offers nothing (he’s scored a whopping 2 goals from open play in the last 15, one apiece in the 6 goal hammerings of Spenny and Bishop’s S).

Elliot needs a run in the team and I reckon he’ll start finding the back of the net on a regular basis.

[BigLeftToe]

Yes, that is perfectly understandable…that is until you get to the FAQs which mention a WEEKLY draw to be conducted on Sunday’s.

So what are the prizes being drawn on a weekly basis then qwerty clever clogs?

[BigLeftToe]

For those intelligent folk who are obviously capable of reading between the lines then, is the £250 top prize drawn weekly or monthly?

It’s only until you get into the FAQs that a weekly draw is ever mentioned. What’s the difference between this and the monthly draw?

[BigLeftToe]

I was about to say Awaywego is either illiterate, a troll, or just plain dim…but he’s right. No mention of a weekly draw in any of the literature until you go through to the FAQs. Here it states monthly draws take place on the 14th and weekly draws take place every Sunday.

So what’s the difference between the monthly/weekly draws? Or are the FAQs just wrong in mentioning a weekly draw?

Sounds alright to me. All of the information one might want or need has been provided:

Plus I make that 5 points dropped largely caused by Fitz trying to be clever and play it out from the back (vs Chorley and last night).

Agree with all of the above, we can’t keep trying to score only after we’ve exceeded 20 plus passes. Get the bloody ball in the box…how many times did we actually give Whitehall an opportunity to attack the ball inside the box? The answer is a big fat zero!

[BigLeftToe]

He had a good game against Spennymoor (as did everyone) and scored a good goal. Other than that I don’t think he’s done anything particularly noteworthy.

[BigLeftToe]

Just need to concentrate on ourselves…sort our away form out and we’ll be more than capable of winning this league.

It was so bad, amateur hour in comparison to RH commentary…the guy literally couldn’t stop yawning and coughing down his mic.

[BigLeftToe]

I see people keep mentioning the points gap to Tamworth. If Spenny win their game in hand we’ll also be chasing them!

We haven’t won away since mid August, something isn’t quite right with our mindset away from home and needs addressing pronto.

[BigLeftToe]

We were rubbish, ain’t getting out of this league unless our away from drastically improves (5th in a row without a win). Lucky to hold onto a point at the end.

[BigLeftToe]

Over an hour gone and, as far as I can recall, not a single shot on target.

A poor half in which Boston look the better team. Why are we so turgid away from home? It’s like watching a completely different team!

If it’s on the schedule on NLTV then it’ll be on. Whether the feed syncs with Humberside commentary is a different kettle of fish, it’s worked for about 50% of the games I’ve streamed this season!

Yes it’s being shown on there.

[BigLeftToe]

Our only wins on the road this season have been on artificial pitches, so not really sure what the problem is here.

Plus it’s a moot point for Tuesday night, Boston play on grass.

[BigLeftToe]

Still think we would have stayed up in League 1 if Swanny didn’t pull the trigger on McCall when he did. 7 games and only 2 points later under Dawson and down we went with a whimper. Probably one of the biggest contributors to us being where we are today.

I struggle to get to that many games due to living 210 miles away, really hoping they make this club lottery available online to us out-of-towners!

The four changes made a massive difference. Smith, Clunan, Law and Ogle were all excellent!

Confirmed next two home games will be played at GP whilst a deal for the stadium is still in the works.

Ike Ugbo has certainly had an interesting career since pulling on the claret and blue. Has scored goals in the Netherlands, the Belgian top flight, the French top flight, the Championship this season for Cardiff and has a few caps for Canada. I think our loanees’ performances since that League 1 relegation season says more about us than their actual talents!

[BigLeftToe]

Scales is one of our better players, definitely worse in midfield without him. Never stops running, decent on the ball and doesn’t shy away from challenges. Couple of games he’s been the best player on the pitch!

This is why I thought Simon should have apologised. There will be grievances from some quarters after he derided fans. Like I have said, unity goes both ways. Elliott needs to make amends. I am happy for him to do so, but understand some will be irritated after his conduct.

Isn’t him helping to pull people together, those people with a real passion for the Iron, to literally save the club from the grasps of an irrational fraudster making enough amends?

We’ve still got a club to watch and support and he’s part of the reason why. That’s enough making amends for me.

[BigLeftToe]

That consideration is giving Swann far too much credit for which he deserves none. Don’t forget he stole the ground because of his mismanagement (and his mismanagement only) and was quite happy to let us be wound up whilst keeping the stadium firmly in Coolsilks hands.

What sort of business stops paying their bills whenever a negative article crops up in the press!? He’s a bloody comedian as well as a convicted fraudster!
