There were people questioning decision’s , there were others who access to information going on behind the scenes and foresaw what was about to come. They were few and far between though. I remember a few posters on here getting stick for questioning his motives.
His name was chanted on the terraces right up until the banning of the Iron bru 2 and Dave Green. EVEN, after all that in which he admits to planning an exit strategy, he still received support on the Cult Facebook group and throughout our support. There was even a crowd funder to help with legal fees FFS.
I’m not buying it Awayswego and I know you’re not daft enough to believe it either.
Ref – four notches below the dizzy heights of average!
Inconsistency was unbelievable.
No red for the thug at the end? – 2/10.There was a period in the second half where he and the linesman near the dugout got 5/6 fairly simple decisions wrong in a row.
This included when the Southport striker beat Boyce for pace and was running on goal, Boycey shoved him over and not even a free kick was awarded.
I’m never one to jump on officials but the standard falls off a cliff once you drop down to this level.

Another completely inept refereeing performance, some of the decisions tonight were baffling.
Steady performance from us tonight. Certainly feel we could have put them under more pressure in the first half. but when we stepped up the tempo the goal felt inevitable. Job done and on to Saturday.
Was slightly disappointed with the crowd, was hoping we could start bringing a few casuals in and build on a feel good factor.

Transparency would be appreciated and respectful towards our long suffering supporters.
What is our total debt?
Are we currently breaking even on a bi-weekly basis?
If not, how much extra debt is being accrued each fortnight?I highly doubt they know themselves with the effort to secure the ground taking priority.

Remember though: there’s no gland in Glanford!
Not now Sherbert is banned, no.
Is he actually banned?
Hopefully so; Dark times when our only form of communication was through his Facebook rants alongside Wham

The reaction has been abit extreme from a few despite the disappointing performance- that’s not a problem exclusive to Scunthorpe fans though.
I remember after the P’boro sports game stating that the sense of expectation in the ground was palpable, never really experienced that as a Scunny fan. Unfortunately for Dean, we are expected to win every game with the players he has at his disposal.
I wouldn’t want to see him cave in and try anything drastic as overall the football has been entertaining; it’s just a case of showing some flexibility in tactics and responding quicker in games. Clearly we have to set up slightly different away from home as evidenced by results.
However, I enjoy listening to his analysis after games and it’s encouraging he seems to have watched the same game as us, under Cox/Hill and co they seemed oblivious to what had unfolded in front of them.

I won’t stick the boot into Jimmy Dean but no coincidence that their manager was Curzon’s manager and he did exactly the same job on us tonight.
Dean brought Elliot on and I thought surely he’ll put him up there with Whitehall and go 442 but obviously didn’t and goes with the same formation. Truly baffling was the decision to then leave Boyce upfront to go with 2 upfront at the end.
Elliot though with that miss was shocking and if he scored that we go away with a draw. I know Dean like possession based football but they went with everybody behind the ball and we were being far too patient. Only way you dislodge them and create space is quick play and balls into the box.
Players wanted far too many touches and generally took far too long to make their minds up. Curzon Ashton game again minus the crazy weather. Dean has got the drive home that when playing against teams who set up like this that we need to play quickly and stop messing around.
Can’t disagree with that.
I thought we were out thought off the pitch and out fought on the pitch. We need to show more versatility tactically as KL’s manager has shown he has the blueprint to beat us.
Really disappointing viewing tonight; we just look like a totally different team away from home. Must improve if we are serious about challenging for the title.

Happy with today even if it was more solid than spectacular. Defence is tightening up, Boyce has been excellent and Barrows stepped in effortlessly. Whitehall has much improved since the Chester defeat 2 weeks ago too.
My only criticism would be it became too pedestrian at times and Clunan has to have a glance forward rather than always looking to play towards his centre backs; but that’s being picky.
4,200 crowd which is much more like it.

Best away performance of the season tonight.
Fluid, attacking football first half, with 2 excellent strikes. Not sure how it came across on TV but The Banbury pitch was huge which seemed to be advantageous to us. Second half was more reserved but I thought we managed the game well with decent enough chances to add to the tally.
Sounds like Ogle has fractured his collar bone so that will be him out till Xmas you’d imagine, Barrows came on and looked comfortable though; he should be a more than adequate replacement.
We’ve responded in almost perfect fashion since the Chester debacle and now have a kind run of fixtures, we have a real chance to put points on the board and potentially open a gap up

We all know what encourages people to come along regularly, and playing at National League North level doesn’t!
Winning 6-0 & 6-1 may be a lever but that’s not going to happen every game.
Classic Catch 22. We need to be higher up the FL Pyramid to get the crowds but to get there we need better attendance now!
I’m not sure this applies tbh, we are not far off the home crowds when we were thumping sides in league one.
Many teams of a similar stature have had a renaissance in non-league and boast larger crowds than they ever did in the EFL.

Barton, with all due respect
, who is going to want to take Chapman off our hands when he’s probably sat here on a contract he wouldn’t get in the league above ?We desperately need to trim the squad and that’s going to mean some of the better players leaving as not only will they be on the biggest wages, they will be easier to sell.
Promotion would be nice but it’s not the priority for me. How many winding up orders is it going to take before we realise we must become sustainable.
The tv money distributed between NL and NLN must be minimal, what are we risking our future for?
