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.

Too little too late though really isn’t it? Other clubs like Stevenage (who were below us in the table after the Oldham win) made pretty impressive signings in the first week of the transfer window and are now 9 points clear of us. We’ve dawdled around, sold last season’s top scorer and ended up 7 points from safety.
Doesn’t really matter who we sign, the club is rotten, we’ve won 5 games of competitive football in 49 games since March 2021!

There have been murmurings of a gentlemen’s agreement made with Bristol so that he doesn’t play. Then again, this is Joey Barton we are talking about.
Isn’t that against league rules? I recall West Brom / West Ham being investigated for not playing Snodgrass after he transferred from one to the other.
Rules state that “no club shall enter into a contract which enables another party to that contract to acquire the ability materially to influence its policies or the performance of its teams in league matches.”
Unless that’s only in the Premier League and doesn’t apply to us.
Can’t believe we’re not about 4-0 down, Watson keeping us in the game.
Absolute men against boys, it’s as if we’re playing against a Premier League team. None of these players are National League standard let alone League 2.

Anyone else feeling that 2-0 is incredibly harsh i feel like we have been the better team
Really? We might have had our fair share of possession but I can’t recall a single decent chance being created.
Pugh and Gallimore have been awful in midfield. How are they keeping Beestin out of the team?

Good riddance to one of the worst strikers I’ve seen in an Iron shirt. Can’t control a football, can’t pass, can’t shoot, barely wins any headers for his size, tries taking on the world with the ball at his feet…can’t believe folks on here see anything in him. Kyle Wootton was/is twice the player and that’s saying something!

Don’t shoot the messenger BLT, just posting what the rules are supposed to be according to the EFL. It seems we broke two of them with no problem so I’m still confused. Hope the club and the EFL know what’s going on. Of course if the loan was repaid ……………..!!
No shots being fired here Tash…I was confused in the summer and I’m just as confused now. I’ve read the same on the EFL website and if we are indeed under those embargo rules then surely we’ve breached it multiple times already??
