    “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!

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

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

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

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

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

    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.

    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).”

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

    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.

    Never thought I’d be saying this but that’s actually a little disappointing if true. Yes he’s made the odd clanger but overall he’s been decent enough since coming into the team and a definite upgrade on Campbell.

    Mahady looked ok against York so hopefully we have him for more than just the one game this time.

    Keeper made some decent enough stops but none you wouldn’t expect him to make. Not a commanding type, pretty small too. Kicking wasn’t too great either.

    Bit unfair to comment on the other two as they are full backs who were playing in a back three, either side of Brogan who is in no way, shape or form a centre half. But they were both caught out of position a few times and pretty light weight.

    Don’t think we’ll be seeing any of them anywhere near the first team.

    Up there with Jermaine Beckford, Lionel Perez, Ryan Yates, Steve MacLean, Ivan Toney, Murray Wallace (before signing permanently).

    Our goals were all decent with some real nice build up play and finishes (even Beck’s!). On that showing I’m glad Foster didn’t stay with us or decide to come back this season.

    Brogan played CB after Boyce went off, with Gjoshe and Shipstone either side of him. Good to see TSF back and doing the business…we’ve definitely missed him these past few games.

    Yeah ok. Haks 13 goals in 30 games in League 2 last season. Has Roberts ever played a game in the football league?

    Better than any winger we currently have on our books, including Roberts.

    Save of the season and got us the 3 points! Made bloody hard work of that though. Still yet to see anything from Chadwick to suggest he should be anywhere near the starting 11.

    How does Chadwick start ahead of Howe? Baffling.

    Should have been game over at half time with the chances we had, and Eastleigh didn’t really have a sniff until Alfie missed that one-on-one.

    An away draw isn’t the end of the world and to be averaging 2 points per game after the first 15 is pretty impressive given where we’ve come from and on a lower budget. Do I see us continuing this form through to the end of the season? Probably not but you never know.

    Can someone please explain why we have a right back playing left back, a left back playing centre back, and a centre back playing right back!??

    Hopefully. I see Mahady was on the bench for Scotland U21’s the other night, no word about that from the club so assuming he’s left the building?

    Stats would be even better if his goal vs Wealdstone counted.

    44 goals in 74 starts for the Iron (87 appearances in total), suggesting he does a lot more than score the odd “worldly” free kick.

    A tough watch at times defensively, especially when their goal kicks were ending up in one-on-one situations! Three cracking goals though to seal the points. If after 13 games you’d have told me we’d be averaging above 2 points per game I would have called you a nut job! Goalkeeper situation still a bit of a worry for me but Rory is doing relatively well and made two great saves tonight.

    I thought Kelly played an absolute blinder for them.

    If he could shoot they’d have been out of sight!

    Whether it was Watson’s fault or not, that’s almost every single goal conceded this season being from a high ball into the box. It’s more than a theme now, it’s a major weakness!

    Alfie has always had a wondergoal or two in him but his ball retention has always left a lot to be desired over previous years…that appears to be much improved this season.

    I think Rowley is the reason we’re not missing Clunan in the slightest. He’s playing a slightly deeper role than he did last season and he’s excelling at it. Hasn’t been less than a 7 in any game so far!

    Great goal from TSF and he’s exactly the sort of outlet we need when under pressure like that towards the end of a game that we’re leading in (i.e. not Mark Beck!).
