Yeah agreed Sanfran, I was more highlighting how we threw our youngsters completely under the bus with no chance in hell of staying up. They were clearly not good enough at the time and have proven today that they were never going to be good enough either.

[BigLeftToe]

Some of the players we were relying on in our last attempt at staying up in League 2:

Jack Moore-Billam – Clay Cross Rovers
Cam Wilson – Matlock Town
Harry Davis – Northwich Victoria
Alex Kenyon – last seen at Bamber Bridge
Ross Millen – Inverness CT
Harry Bunn – Hyde United
Tyrone O’Neill – Guisborough
Alex Perry – last seen at Runcorn Linnets
Anthony Grant – AFC Whyteleafe
Joe Nuttall – Morecambe
Jake Scrimshaw – East Cowes Victoria
Luke Matheson – Macclesfield
Tyrese Sinclair – Solihull Moors
Rekeil Pyke – Truro City
Ethan Young – Peterborough Sports
Fin Shrimpton – Chester
Harry Lewis – last seen at Cleethorpes
Mason O’Malley – Worksop
Manny Onariase – Maidenhead
Dan Gallimore – last seen at Cleethorpes
George Taft – last seen at Mickleover
Harvey Cribb – Cobh Ramblers

Hmm…I wonder why we got spanked every week!? I think the only players who have played any kind of league football since that season are Hayden Hackney, Ryan Delaney, Ryan Loft and Myles Hippolyte (two of those were loanees and the other two we shipped out in the January).

Would be brilliant if we are able to get Westbrooke’s and Sellars-Fleming’s loans extended to the end of the season.

Both Chadwick and Eze can go back.

Barrows worth a contract until at least the end of the season.

There’s a few ex-Swanny players who fancy a bet. Toney, Toffolo and now Lewis.

[BigLeftToe]

Cracking win and a cracking day out in the sunshine. Two fantastic goals. Just a shame that the final round of subs seemed to weaken us again and turned it into a very nervy finish.

Strong lineup today, no reason we can’t ruffle some feathers and grab a result.

£1.14 million in their latest filed annual accounts (year end 2024).

He couldn’t have been on much at TNS that’s for sure, with average crowds of 300.

Think it was more the fact that Westbrooke was playing better than him (probably his best game in an Iron shirt) and wanted both Ewing and Beestin as the other 2 of the 3 in the middle.

[BigLeftToe]

Terrible first half but so much better second when Roberts and Ewing came on. Forgot how good Ewing is…jeez we’ve missed him!

Hopefully Dents is playing LW like he did a few times towards the back end of last season. Otherwise that’s definitely a 5 at the back!

[BigLeftToe]

Earmarked Matty Lund during pre-season when he was turning out for the PFA free agent team…sign him up!

[BigLeftToe]

After a decent start Dec has only managed 1 goal in his last 11 league games. Needs to find his shooting boots again and really should have put the game out of sight on Sat with that header!

I’m also yet to see much evidence that Dawson is “clearly good enough”. Other than that 45 minute spell against one of the worst teams I’ve seen at Glanford Park, he’s done literally nothing of note in an Iron shirt.

Settle start with 442.

We haven’t played 4-4-2 all season, why would we change now?

[BigLeftToe]

Was one of those travelling fans and can’t disagree with anything CT has said above. That was the most pathetic performance I’ve seen in a while. How Chadwick is anywhere near the first team, let alone the starting 11 baffles me. Can York take him back as well please?

Tomi Ameobi was probably the worst I’ve seen.

Not particularly ideal if he picks up an injury or suspension.

“Bruised toe” (aka Turf Toe) is a bit more serious than a literal bruised toe. It’s probably an actual sprain and can often require crutches because the pain is so bad you can’t walk on it!

[BigLeftToe]

They’re used to a non-mobile, non-goalscoring centre forward so fits the bill for them well.

[BigLeftToe]

Surprised he didn’t go back to Telford in NLN after he did well for them in their promotion push last season.

[BigLeftToe]

“I know what is around the corner – I just don’t know where the corner is” is probably my personal favourite.

[BigLeftToe]

Doesn’t sound like it’s going to be going ahead if their club statement is anything to go by:

Wishing him a speedy recovery!

[BigLeftToe]

Using that logic then Eze (who came through the ranks at Chelsea, Derby and Norwich) should be starting every game, no?

[BigLeftToe]

On what we’ve seen of him so far, Mahady looks the most composed of all the GK’s we’ve seen play for us this season…and by quite some distance too!

Just hoping his one month loan turns into something more long term. GK certainly isn’t a position we want to keep faffing around with.

[BigLeftToe]

Yep, already pointed that out. And there’s no ifs, it is a new rule. As Awaywego mentioned, FA Cup rule 95 now states:

“A Player shall only play for one Club in the Competition during the same Season, save that a Player that has played for one Club in the Qualifying Competition and/or the Competition Proper may play for a maximum of one other Club in the Competition Proper (but may only play for a maximum of one Club in any given round of the Competition).”

Presumably Cup-tied today as he played against King’s Lynn.

Makes you wonder why they’d recall him the day before a game he couldn’t play in though…

Rule changed this season…play in the qualifying rounds for one team and you’re free to play in the first round proper for another.

Watson not even on the bench today for York. Recalled to be third choice keeper once again.
