I think the final score could depend on how soon we score the first goal (If we do)
An early first could open the floodgates or we could be frustrated for long periods and have to be content with a scruffy 1-0.

Dean isn’t a crap manager he was just the wrong manager for the job Hilton brought him in for.

Some would say that Dean was not brought in by Hilton to be a success but rather another outcome. I have no comment or knowledge regarding that.

For those of us not yet in the 21st century, what is an “ick” please?

Interesting possibility, Bet 365? That would make it possible to break their attendance record.
“In 1996–97 they reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first time, losing 2–0 at home to Notts County in front of a record crowd of 3,948 in a match played at Stoke City’s Victoria Ground.”

Never did me any good. Mind you I only went once.

An unexpected bit of class and honesty from Brown in his post match interview. That’s how you deal with getting beaten by a better team Mr Dickman (how apt that name).

Agree 100% having just listened to this, very balanced review by PB and full credit to him for that.

[cassidystash]

Magnificent result and decent performance especially 2nd half.
3 comments (not moaning)
Passing practice for all. Kiddy’s pass success rate must have been twice ours. Hardly wasted a ball whereas we gave it away too cheaply too often.
Shooting practice for Carlton and a couple of others. Situations where hitting the target is a minimum requirement.
How was Whitehall not MOM – superb performance.

Kiddy showing the game in their pub, bound to attract plenty on a Friday night that might have travelled on a Saturday.

[cassidystash]

In Kiddy’s position you’d think they’d be happy with a point.
Will they try for 3?
If they set up for a draw can we find a way to win?
Will we try to win or try to not lose?
So many questions, answers after 9.30 tomorrow, the anticipation is almost unbearable. C’mon Iron!!

90 points by early March and promoted before Easter, yes please.

[cassidystash]

Now at a level more suited to his ability.The players will surely respect a manager that has worked at a higher level, lack of respect was part of the problem here IMO.

An invitation to complacency if the players see that?

[cassidystash]

Just read the match report from their OWS, they’re not giving us much credit either.
“The first goal of the afternoon came when Michael Kelly pinged his long-ranger into the box with fine precision. After it came off Ubaezuonu and, later, Danny Whitehall, North East native Roberts was there to volley it in. Although Shields put up a good fight, the game was put beyond any doubt shortly before the final whistle. Kelly whipped another cross into the box, and just like the first it came off Whitehall before it found Beestin who only needed to head it home.”

“Came off Whitehall” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. Whitehall’s shot hit the post.
2. Whitehall headed the ball back across perfectly for Beestin.
Whoever wrote that is as deluded as the manager.

[cassidystash]

After watching that it’s good to know that:-
We have easily beaten the best footballing team in the league.
South Shields have absolutely no interest in slowing the game down if they are in front. (yeah right!!)
Some managers cannot accept blame.

I know we’re not short of MFs but I was impressed by Middlemas for SS. Checked him out and he’s on loan from Sunderland until 22nd September. Wouldn’t mind having him for the rest of the season.

Excellent result, decent performance, very disciplined, very energetic out of possession. Agree with AWG, Carlton could/should have had three and a couple of other good chances missed. Would have made watching much more enjoyable bearing in mind what happened on Saturday.

[cassidystash]

I thought Norman Collier had left us. No homework at all by the commentator, was it Vitamins in goal and Kahn at CB, I’d also have stuck with Carlton. Scales will be disappointed when he finds out he didn’t score.

[cassidystash]

Brogan, Rowley & Law all in front of Fin. Also Beestin if AB decides to start Carlton. Bench at best IMO. Just wish he’d go Whitehall, Carlton & Roberts as a front three, would scare most NLN defences.

They’re looking to make the club sustainable and secure its future. Tough and unpopular decisions are necessary as part of that.

Lucky for me Cox’s mike was very poor, barely heard a word but didn’t miss anything I’ve not heard before I’ll bet.
Message for Ollie Turner:-
No idea how many Iron fans listened to the match commentary but I know how many were interested in the score in the Hull KR rugby!!

[cassidystash]

Do you want a club to support?

[cassidystash]

I’d certainly like to see a few more with the potential to play NL (at least) and on a reasonable NL wage identified and secured similarly. We’ll all have our own ideas on who they should be, let’s trust the board to choose wisely and act.

Maybe if you’d taken a bit longer I would have understood.
“7 years”?
” offering everyone”?

IIRC several teams that played above themselves against us last season (sometimes winning) were very poor in their next match. Some statto might have examples.
