Are there signs that he is learning?
“Scunthorpe United boss Neil Cox has accused his players of not being good enough, and has questioned whether some of them even care about playing.”
Well done Neil but a lot of people had realised this well before Christmas!
” went on to slam his players for what he perceived as them being “unprofessional” and “naïve”. – correct.
“When we get to the final third, we’ve been poor” – correct again.
“They don’t know what they’re doing” – right again.
““I don’t think they’re good enough at times to be honest. That’s probably the big thing.” – No argument there.
But just when you think he’s finally getting to grips with the situation he gets delusional again:-“We’ve done really well this year by sitting in and playing counter-attacking football” – WHAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!
If he thinks that then we might have a big problem in the future.1 user thanked author for this post.
They obviously haven’t shown that the defensive aspect of their game is good enough. Probably Dawson can’t defend corners and that’s what’s holding him back.

According to Cox Eisa was ill.
Did he mean ill or sick (sick of………….) Insert reason of choice.

Could be that some of them are giving 120% in training and have nothing left for match day.
Or maybe not.1 user thanked author for this post.
Having read the managers injury update I’d be tempted to go low risk and play 11 who are definitely 100%.
Watson
Howe Rowe Bedeau O’Malley
Gilliead Karacan Spence Eisa
McAtee Olomola
Subs:- Beestin, Hippo and some of the U23s
No good risking KVV, Taft, Green, Loft etc being out for the season. Reading between the lines it’s probably not a game Cox is ‘targetting’ for a win anyway.
” They’re a good side, have a lot of experience and are up there pushing for automatic promotion. We know it will be a tough test but it’s about what we do. We have to better in the final third.”We’ve had this discussion before UTI. Most business owners welcome valid criticism and use the information to improve their offering to the public. Nobody gets everything right all the time but to continue to get things so wrong is likely to give you the opportunity to stand or sit alone.

Getting the excuses in early this week. Nice to see the Club being proactive for a change.

It’s a mistake, a big mistake, if you keep doing the same thing, watching it fail and then repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. There’s a famous quote expressing this but I’m not bright enough to know who it was that said it. Playing Loft up front alone is a mistake, we all know that but he keeps doing it.

“Even sat in the warmth of my living room with a nice Rioja in my hand.”
Something that Mr Swann should make available at the kiosk then for the discerning supporter?

The alternative is an end to their pro football career, I know which choice I’d make.

BTW what’s happened to Beestin – looks like a pub league player
Yet he’s still getting picked before Spence who was MOM last time he started.
Another clue as to why things are not quite right on the pitch?3 users thanked author for this post.

“More untried unheard of players to replace all those who have been offered contracts and no doubt none will accept them as more than likely a lot less offered than presently on due to financial situation.”Au contraire Rodney I suspect there will be a significant number of L1 and L2 players released or offered much reduced contracts who will be available to us. It’s not just us, everybody will be operating on vastly reduced budgets and players will have to appreciate that if they want to continue as pro footballers.
