Last 15 minutes Whitehall started to link up play and hold the ball up and looked a different player in doing so. Hope Dean can show him the last 15 mins and demonstrate what an effective player he can be.
Smith MOTM for me, really impressed in his last 2 showings.
Be surprised if we play a worst side than B.Stortford today- they look dead and buried. Perfect response from the Chester game though, Credit to Dean and the players

Truly shocking what was allowed to happen here. The repercussions will be felt for many years I imagine.
The positive news from all this is Scunthorpe supporters look to be more galvanised than ever to help the club.
That energy needs to be channeled into productive means.

According to Hilton’s statement our monthly wage bill was 130k with between 50-70k brought in my gate money.
It would be naive to think at least a few won’t leaving in the upcoming months. We could lose at least 2/3 midfielders without it impacting performances too much

Were they doggy doo or were we the dogs whatsits?
This was one where we were good rather than them being crap.
Excellent performance all round tonight and a complete contrast from Saturday. Moved the ball quicker, won the second balls in the middle and played more direct.
Midfield lost us the game on Saturday and won it today. All of them played well and Law/Smith have earned themselves another start for me. Encouraging to see the options we are starting to have available now injuries are clearing up.
Clunan looked rusty for the first 10minutes but grew into the game. His positional play is always on point.
Only thing I can moan about tonight was a slightly sub par crowd. Seemed abit flat and a few hundred down on where I expected. We need people coming down more than ever.
A good night though. UTI

The midfield in particular were making so many forward runs and moving so quick there is no way you can expect them to play like that for 90mins- they are only human and even the best have rest periods during games.
That’s not to say we shouldn’t be fitter then the rest of the teams in this league though, I’ve not been able to tell the difference to part time
And full time as of yet.1 user thanked author for this post.
Really poor today. We went with 3-5-2 and hardly created a chance from
Open play. Hard to blame the formation as we’ve struggled to break teams down for 5/6 games now.Midfield and the front 2 in particular were non-existent. I thought we’d see a response after a 2 week break and the recent takeover, but if anything it had the opposite effect.
With the amount of money some of these will be earning for the level, they have to deliver more, Jimmy Dean has to deliver more.

I personally wouldn’t hand over any money until it’s confirmed by our club

No home ground
Club’s currently insolvent
Debts incurred which no one seems to know the true figure.Everyone on here appears to be fully behind the new owners but we are in a very precarious position.

No tickets online for future games.
We still have a HUGE fight on our hands to both secure the club & the ground; I think the excitement of the takeover has led some into a false sense of security.
In regards to future home games, I would hope the league would offer us some flexibility since they were aware of the mess at the start of the season.

Feels like we have a war on 2 fronts trying to keep the club afloat and now raising money for the ground. I don’t know if there is enough financial clout in the town to be able to keep both.
Credit to the trust for their role in activating the ACV, it gives us a fighting chance at least.

Nearly every word I’ve heard about Michelle Harness is positive- the word integrity keeps cropping up. This will buy her time with local businesses owed their money and give some wiggle room for repayment plans to be put in place.
The real challenge will be getting the ground off Swann- which is no mean feat. Additionally, good will will only take her so far and the consortium will need to be pumping in hundreds of thousands to get us out this mess for the short term.
We aren’t out of the woods by any stretch, but hopefully we are now finally heading in the right direction.

I am a big fan of Scales. Would be surprised if he didn’t play league football in the coming years.

The turning point was the banning of the 3 supporters, although I’m reasonably confident that this was orchestrated between Hilton and Herbert to hasten his exit.
Football supporters are almost cult like in their devotion to players/managers and perhaps more worryingly, owners. Despite not one traceable of source of income, unpaid wages, an open Ponzi scheme, Wham still had a majority of support across
The fanbase.Astonishingly, he still had a ‘thank you Dave’ thread on Facebook active last week. People will choose what they want to believe, casting aside logic and objectivity.

We’ve got a proven goal scorer in Elliot, unfortunately he’s getting lost out on the left side.
I hope watching the game from home, and a couple of weeks rest and recovery will give Jimmy time to make some slight adjustments.
We aren’t a million away away and fortunately only 2 points of top, but you’re correct MK, we aren’t creating enough at the moment
