Matt tried to emphasise his argument by suggesting he was talking objectively when discussing the keepers, my counter argument would be objectively we are weaker defending crosses in full back positions than anywhere else as again proven tonight.
Tonight was always going to be a tricky game, subconsciously we were never going to be at the levels when competing against the likes Carlisle/York.
A good 3 points to bounce back with and 3 excellent finishes

Agreed, couldn’t have asked for much more than we got today. Fine margin game and the red card for us was stupidity- 3 reds in 11 games is a problem that needs addressing.
Couldn’t have asked for 2 better games than Morecambe/KL to get back on the horse and put another run together. Another test for Butler and the team to see how they respond

Last couple of years have been dreadful away, majority of the time no roof and spread around the ground.
No idea why but last night everyone was up for it, felt more like a cup tie than a standard league game. Must’ve given the players an extra 5%.

Best away end in recent memory- supporters were magnificent from start to finish

Incredible performance; cannot give them enough credit.
Travelling support were superb too, a great time to be watching the Iron.

Can’t ask anymore from this side or the manager – outstanding result.

Aaaaand another solid display and clean sheet from Rory…

Like most others agree we were schooled first half by a very good team, if you don’t get near the opposition and press them you will get punished. Three good saves from Rory kept us in it but second half we closed them down sooner and they suddenly looked less comfortable. Deserved a point even though Cal got lucky with the pen rebound and a draw was about right overall. We are learning every game and are still unbeaten in the league, cracking match though full of good football, endeavour and both teams looked thoroughly knackered at the end with the efforts they had put in, I really enjoyed the game.
Agree almost word for word. B.Wood an impressive outfit for this level, could have easily been out of sight first half- number 10 especially oozes quality.
Got to give credit to Butler though, changed the shape to improve the press and it seemed to pay dividends as their defence began to tire. Last 20minutes were thoroughly enjoyable to watch with 2 decent sides exchanging blows- more then happy with a point.
Evans exceptional again- MOTM. Mention to Watson too whom I thought had bother solid game.

There’s criticism when some believe some have been targeting the goalies unnecessarily even though they’ve committed howlers and saying how it is, now Beck he his targeted fair enough imo, Carlton got it last week basically everyone gets told there shite at times, what’s it matter whether we’re winning or not.
Shite play is shite play and obviously that fan thought it and duly expressed it, no more different when you see fans clap players at the end of the game when we’ve played absolute dog shite , Gateshead away comes to mind, when asked why they’re were doing it they don’t really know.
Let’s not sanitize football anymore than it is already, either that or go challenge and let fighting commence.And that works both ways, no crying when it’s given back by the manager

There’s still too much focus on the keepers
Disagree. Neither are currently good enough. Watson is showing why he’s only played 4 first team games in 3 years and Campbell is a project. I’d rather we had a capable goalkeeper and I’d rather he learnt his trade out on loan.
Our first 10 is as good as anything in this league, we really should be fielding a GK which compliments the other 10 players.
You, along with a few others had your mind made up before a ball was kicked.
You may turn out to be correct, but it’s a sad state of affairs when people start gunning for players in an attempt to be proven right.
Even saw some comments laying blame at the door of Rory for the Wealdstone goal when he had nothing to do with it.

Never seen the like before, hopefully the league slap a nice fine and points deduction in for good measure.
Another really solid performance today. Tactics spot on again and on another day we’d have had 3/4 first half. Whatever we have left in the budget I’d be using to tie Ewing up on a long term deal- superb player for the level.
Continue to be impressed by what I’m seeing and it’s reassuring to see players stepping from the fringes and putting in competent performances. Tougher tests to come but you can’t ask for much more than they’ve delivered

‘We won didn’t we’ Detail and comprehension of the game lol.
‘I dont want you to come to games if you’re going to criticize players performance’
Contract extension now is it? I thought everyone bought into the narrative that he hadn’t signed a contract so there was no extension. Well at least that’s what Michelle told us.
You’ve took that criticism to heart AWG, never had you down as a snowflake.
Agree Deerey with regards to Butler, continues to impress in many areas and clearly knows how to get a team playing for him.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see a few teams sniffing around if we are in/around the play offs in a couple of months.

If common sense prevailed you’d imagine both teams would settle on a point, however with it being abandoned I’m
Not sure if the protocol is a replay.Looks like both players are up and talking, fingers crossed it’s nothing more serious than a sore head for a few days.

Perhaps, guess that’s dependent on that style being effective, when he’s on the pitch I couldn’t tell you what the plan is

Never saw him play, enjoyed the stories from older family members and his record speaks for itself.
RIP

Really enjoyed the interview. Might rub some fans up the wrong way but there’s plenty been fired in the other direction.
He’ll back his players to the end, I admire that and it seems to get rewarded through them busting a gut for him as we saw today.

Credit to him today- a lot more confidence claiming the ball in his area.
Really pleasing to see the reaction he got in front of the main stand at full time too

Cannot ask more from a Scunthorpe United side than what I saw today- under tough circumstances they were a credit to a man.
Bigleftoe: I honestly don’t know if football’s the sport for you if that’s what you take from today’s game.
