The iron Bar is back to its normal shambolic state.
I hope theres feasibility for an extension in the future as it’s never been fit for purpose.
Same with outside the DRE. You’ve got the space for a good little fanzone there to potentially get people down earlier and spend abit of money.

Can’t recall watching the Iron playing many poorer sides at GP, they were absolutely woeful.
I thought Jimmy was done after the Darlington game, so credit for putting some form together.
Gloucester is now a chance to rest players and we look in good shape heading to he play offs.

There’s a couple of good accounts on Twitter with a focus on lower league finances. Ben Pearson- a darlo fan- is one I’ve recently followed.
Some of the accounts are frightening- nearly every one is posting losses in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions with fan bases smaller than ours.
For example, South Shields lost 1.1m last year in the Northern Premier League. Subsequently their main investor is now looking to sell.
As Awayswego said, it’s all well and good until the plug is pulled out as we found out.

We are rudderless ship coasting towards the play offs.
Flat, boring and no plan. The midfield shape is non existent. Some poor individual performances from Pugh and Denton in particular. I’ve nothing against the lad but what has Pugh ever done for us? Never got the hype.
Dean looks tired and a man on the edge to be honest, I feel for him as it can’t be a nice position to be in, but he’s over his head.
I’d beg to differ a few weeks post a 7,500 crowd.
There’s definitely Been a blip in enthusiasm since Tamworth have run away with the title but the club seems to have support from the community unlike at any other time I can recall.

If he’s brought in as a winger that’s:
Wilson
Sembie-Ferris
Mcalinden
Law
Roberts
Corbett
* Elliott BeestinAnd we wondered on another thread why players stagnate here

Another ridiculous decision, or more so the timing of it.

We always need more options though don’t we, a month ago we needed more midfielders apparently and now we’ve sent a competent local lad out to Spennymoor and paying others to sit in the stands- it’s the same strategy which hasn’t worked for 10 years.
We have more than enough talent at our disposal but for whatever reason they’ve downed tools or the manager is simply not getting the best out of them.

Without wanting to sound like a broken record… a big red flag for me was the way we capitulated after Notts County last year; he seems lost when things aren’t going to plan and as mentioned above, that’s probably translated to the players.
I don’t thing changing personnel will change our problems either btw- it’s comical people are looking at Bennett and carver again

No sympathy tonight; to set up how we did, especially after the last 20 at Chester is criminal.

Thought both him and Elliot looked sharp when coming on. Fair play to Jimmy for the positive substitutions too.
I really hope he analyses those last 25minutes and starts to set the team up different for the rest of the season.
The possession based approach has had its day against teams in this league now.

Incredible effort all round. A proud day for the club.
Second half was old school, they’re the type of halves that get kids hooked on going so hopefully we’ve converted a few.
Bizarre how we played so much better with 10- players looked well up for it and went much more direct rather than messing about with it across the back line and taking too many touches. Has to be the way going forward now as we looked a different side.
