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

A special day that will live long in the memory.
I apologise to those that missed the Unity walk as it left early. The crowd was far larger than anticipated and began moving together before the scheduled depart time.
Doncaster road was a sea of claret and blue. It really was a sight to behold. Noise, colour, laugher; young and old mixing together, just how it should be without a hint of trouble.
Many thanks to the Iron Trust, humberside police and the club for giving their blessing and support. Along with the Iron hour podcast and Iron bru for promoting it and playing a pivotal role in unifying the fanbase.
We’ll be back bickering about the catering and formations next week. But today was a good day, a special day.
United we stand, forever and always.

Scrappy performance, much improvement to be made. Little did it matter today, 3 points and a superb atmosphere.
Not seen so many smiles on faces in a long time, almost felt like an end of season promotion party.
We’ve got our club back, now we need our ground.

I have a family member who bought into the scheme. They were fully aware of the risks and have accepted their loss and will continue to buy season tickets in the future to support the new board.
I understand not everyone will be able to afford that and as 64 states, delicacy and common sense will be needed on both sides
Sounds like there is plenty more to come out. People are now choosing to ignore the damage he’s done which is their decision. However, He’s finally gone and that’s a win for everyone who cares about the club.
I echo the thanks to IB. You certainly have an axe to grind with Hilton and I hope you continue to shine a light on the misery he causes elsewhere.

Delighted with the news. Feels like the club is finally in the hands of the community. A good day.
