“Well we got what we expected, takes about 8.5 appearances to score a goal so is never going to be your main striker, your looking at 6 or 7 a season.”Would have been easily our top scorer this season with that return!!

Some strikers don’t even get a chance to be woeful in an Iron shirt.
Kelsey Mooney & Jonny Margetts spring to mind.2 users thanked author for this post.
Who did the least to try and prevent the relegation?
A. The Chairman
B. The Manager
C. The Players
Press your button NOW!!Easy to say, I’ll repeat my earlier post and await your response:-
“A potentially difficult situation if he’s contracted for next season. Can we move him on? Where to? Do we pay him to not play as we’ve done with KDT & Perry? Not a great use of resources when you’re on a limited budget is it.”

Apology on SUFC twitter, can we draw a line under this now and give the guy a chance to show he is genuinely sorry.

I’m glad posters are keeping some perspective and not touting him as a future England player after one game. Ridiculous.

I said at the time loaning Wilson out was stupid. Shone in pre season and was knocking goals in the reserves.
If Cam Wilson had been given the opportunities he would have scored 10 goals.
He had opportunities at a much lower level and scored once, that doesn’t suggest to me that he would have scored regularly in L2.
Nuttall is not fit to wear the Scunthorpe United Shirt and never should again in my opinion!

Well. Can people now begin to see what KH is doing for the club?
Is it putting out a team with a total weekly wage less than £2000?

There are one or two things I’d take issue with:-
“Tony Daws and our academy staff work hard to produce the players of the future with a clear and defined pathway, which will stand us in good stead for years to come.”
How many first team regulars have they produced in the last 10 years? The youngsters are only playing now because we’re desperate.“We can confirm Keith will be in total control of football affairs and Lee Turnbull will oversee the general running of the football club.”
How can that be guaranteed under new ownership?“Tomorrow’s game against Hartlepool provides the club an opportunity to turn a corner.”
We’ve had many opportunities to do that over the last few seasons, why will tomorrow be any different?“would ask that all of you continue to support the Iron with your passion, energy and commitment to move the club forward.”
A big ask considering that your passion, energy & commitment have vanished.Will you be there tomorrow?“

There could be stooges to make sure only the “right” questions are asked, maybe a hour on VAR again?

Exeter did OK out of Ollie Watkins. When was the last time we made any decent money from a sale. Certainly not from anybody scouted by the current set up.

Canny lot Scunny fans – if they pay to watch 90 minutes of rubbish they want their 90 minutes worth, unlike the Oldham fans!!
“Lesson for any chairman there to avoid an embargo by any means possible!”
It was possible by paying off the loan. Our chairman promised to do that ‘if necessary’ so he clearly thought that retaining league status wasn’t ‘necessary’. In the minority I would suggest, have any lessons been learnt by the ex-C?
Makes me concerned about the other promises – “Leave the Club in a better position than when I arrived” and “The ground will be returned to the Club”8 users thanked author for this post.
April 23, 2022 at 7:58 pm in reply to: Keith – ‘some didn’t want to play today fearing injury’ #236303Possible “don’t wants” – Hackney, Sinclair, Burns & maybe Grant & Taft. Doubtful if Jarvis, Perry & KDT were given the option of playing.
Second half commentary from Blunderside suggests the Iron have done ok, particularly the younsters.
They were wrong!!
“Beestin looked best I’ve seen him in ages.” Agree 100%
“Moore-Bilham and Gallimore were excellent.” M-B was OK, Gallimore barely seen.
“All other young uns put in a shift.” But not as footballers! Young given a roasting, Wilson looked lost.
“Rory was terrific.” Agree again.
I really wish these youngsters gave me some optimism but if we’re pinning our hopes for next season on them then we’ll be down again.Another chance to teach the kids how to handle defeat?

April 21, 2022 at 8:41 am in reply to: Les – The Guy Who Attempts Optimism Until Reality Finally Kicks In. #236181I too am undecided about Nuttall. Lack of recent football has clearly been an issue but maybe the B&N main striker is not his best position, he doesn’t win many headers from the 80 yard ‘passes’ he gets. Could he flourish alongside a B&N?
April 20, 2022 at 6:32 pm in reply to: Les – The Guy Who Attempts Optimism Until Reality Finally Kicks In. #236156I wish I could get as excited about these youngsters as others do. I’ve seen nothing that makes any of them a shoe in for next season, a hint of promise from a few of them but nothing more. Sorry.

April 20, 2022 at 3:41 pm in reply to: Les – The Guy Who Attempts Optimism Until Reality Finally Kicks In. #236127Key for me is more pace and width – most if not all the players in the past 2 years have lacked both. Pace and width usually entertains brings the fans back.
I think that’s why we signed Devarn Green. He didn’t excite many, pace & width are OK but a few basic footballing skills also help. Lewis is a possible but playing him at LB won’t help his development & Sinclair occasionally showed enough, if he can add consistency. Again RWB didn’t rxactly play to his strengths.

Looks like UTI99 has only the last few years experience to draw on, should be easy enough to pick the highlights out of that.

With JGNK, accepted relegation about 3 months ago so used to it by now. Arguably better than needing to win the last game to stay up, much less stressful. Lost interest in the Moneybags league several seasons ago.

All of the above, Spurs away the coldest I’ve ever been at a football match. (I was colder one Boxing Day at Market Rasen races!!)
I’m old enough to have been at the Blackpool 6-2 (2-1 down at HT) and, I suppose, as that was the first “big game” I saw it still tops the list.From KH post match:-
“Keith Hill then reflected on Harry Bunn’s equaliser, saying: “He’s an exceptional professional, and he’s someone I’ve got a lot of time for because he’s the right type of character and person. He can guide the young players and I’m really pleased for him.”A bizarre statememt considering he’s not let him on the pitch for several weeks. Bound to get another contract then based on that opinion.
