Also difficult to polish and sell on a rough diamond if they only have a 1 year contract.

I didn’t know Joe Pasquale was an Iron fan.
Perry is there to pull the strings, sadly he’s discovered that most of them have snapped. (Or been cut maybe?) Also some, as in the case of Beestin, have been tied in the wrong place.
Is it possible that people (except UTI99) might deduce that the completion of a 10 year plan is close?

Think he’s scared of showing up, he’s a narcissist, rather like Mr Trump he doesn’t react well to criticism even when he knows it’s his fault.
Knows it’s his fault? That’s the trouble – apparently he doesn’t.

Lucky we didn’t lose by more than 4 vs Exeter so we’ve had some luck lately.

At the end of the day we can criticise whoever we want but the main problem is the players aren’t up to league two standards – end of
There we have it, the reality. We have ownership – disinterested, we have management – clueless and we have the players. Now this might seem harsh but of the 18 strong matchday squad who has proved, beyond reasonable doubt, (not necessarily in an Iron shirt) that they are L2 standard or above?
Taft, Perry & Beestin – that’s THREE!! 3 out of 18, little wonder we’re where we are is there?In fairness Cass I don’t think he is ever likely to say much different, although his summary of events is somewhat different to the impression I got from the match commentary on the radio.
Its like his pre match comment about having a good week in training, he’s unlikely to come out and admit it was a crap week.
As the weeks go by it becomes ever clearer that he has no idea how to improve things, unfortunately I’m afraid its time for him to go although as that would cost money I doubt it will happen.Exactly my point vader, same post match every week because nothing ever changes. “Good” week in training followed by the same dismal 90+ minutes on match days.

Same old post- match bluster then:-
Cox said:-
“We’re just disappointed with the goal.
We didn’t play very well
We conceded such a poor goal just before half-time through people not doing their jobs
We’re getting in those positions but it’s that final pass.
There was nothing between the two teams.
I’ve just told the players that we have to be better
We’re learning on the job.
We have to learn from these situations, such as how we could have prevented their goal.
We handled their strikers, but one disappointing moment cost us.”Do you want to copy and paste this for next week Neil?
“The rumours today is Peter Swan as left the club or leaving.
There is a group of Chinese people looking to take over.”Is it the same mob that offered £4 million for KVV?

I might replace Pugh with Perry but never with Kenyon. I rate him higher than Wood, Pugh & Thompson in MF.
Our players have considerable difficulty passing to a teamate without making it more difficult.

We seem to have an ongoing problem getting players fit and then keeping them fit. Season barely started and we’ve had/got unavailable:-
Billson, Millen, Davis, Thompson, Kenyon, Bunn, Hallam, Jarvis, Loft, O’Neill & Collins. Plus some I might have missed and Perry & Scrimshaw (possibly) isolating.
Add to that the 3 or 4 (or more) not good enough, 2 or 3 not quite ready and squad rotation is almost impossible without significantly weakening the starting 11Came on, but yes, he could have started.
That would have made it Beestin, Wood, Perry, Pugh.
Not much width there.
Which makes the decision to bring in two CMFs on deadline day at the expense of a wide man even stranger.Perfect for the old diamond though, I’m just a believer in picking your best players in their best positions and using a system that fits that. Better than picking your system and making the players fit that IMO.
Except picked a better player maybe?
Green? Who many thought should take a spell on the bench.
Hallam? If fully fit.
Bunn? Where was he?
O’Neill? Not convinced!
Hackney? Likewise.
We’ve a number of players who are much of a muchness. Lacking that little bit of quality that’ll make the difference.
But we knew that, didn’t we?Pugh.
“Hippolyte with his boots on the wrong feet, meant two errors led to two goals.
Nothing the management team could have done about it!”Except picked a better player maybe?
Could have picked Rowe at CB so let’s hope it was a realisation that 4-4-2 works better. Pugh for Hippo would have been my choice, looks unbalanced with only one wide player unless it’s a 4-3-3?
All doing ZERO to help their TEAM when they need it most.
Great effort.So what are you doing to help the team?
Bought a season ticket
Bought 3 replica kits
Meal in the restaurant before each game
Food & drink at HT
Parking at the ground
Sponsoring players kit
Sponsoring match/match ballWell done, what are you getting in return?

“Yes the team isn’t the best at present but I wonder how they’d react to positive crowd getting behind them.”
Well here’s your answer to that question quoting Mark Lillis from the OWS:-
“The fans have been unbelievable this season.”
“Like I said after the game, it was unacceptable”Anything else you need help with?

Did the owners care about football when we finished 2nd, 16th, 7th, 3rd and 5th?
Yes they probably did then, do you think they do now?
1 user thanked author for this post.
IF(?) the two MF loanees are guaranteed a start under the terms of their loan then little wonder if there is some resentment, where’s the incentive to perform under those circumstances.
BTW there was an article on the OWS when they signed with Cox declaring they were not automatic selections but that seems to have been removed – because it wasn’t true maybe? Possibly, at that time, Cox hadn’t been told they had to play, just speculation of course but, no doubt, all will become clear.2 users thanked author for this post.
“You don’t field a baffling team as we did which was detrimental to ourselves just because you’re obsessed with what the other team offers.”
You do if you’re Cox, that’s his only tactic.

I’ve seen some odd things in my time but that even left me speechless
Probably just as well, how long would the OP have been otherwise?

Good job we – trained well all week
– did our homework on Exeter and knew what to expect
– set up to defend against a team that don’t score
Otherwise it could have been really embarrassing.2 users thanked author for this post.
“I know it was mentioned several times during the Euros but Cox and Southgate seem to have the same corporate manual.”
Southgate has silk purses, Cox – sows ears.
Is he German?
With a build up like that? It couldn’t be could it?
I think the Cass has tee’d somebody up to link his title to the exact opposite
of the ventriloquist ie the dummy!
But nobody has bitten yet.You overestimate my ability – thank you.

Seems harsh, perhaps you could enlighten the masses with the reasons for your opinion, supported by factual evidence maybe?

Didn’t make that clear on the OWS – welcome back Staffy.
Keeping the ball is clearly a major problem. I live in an area where the internet is too poor to obtain ifollow so I end up using SUFC twitter and the OWS text commentary to follow the action (or lack of) It’s amazing how many times The Iron win a free kick and the next minute the opponents have a shot on goal.
