In a way it’s a relief that it’s over so early, spares us the heartache of having any kind of hope.
So, so poor today. As bad as we’ve ever been. Didn’t deserve nothing from the game and that’s saying something because Oldham were absolute tosh aswell- they’ll be coming down with us.
Didn’t expect much when Keith took over, but he’s somehow not met already low expectations, Performances and results are unbelievably shite.
On a side note, thought Oldham were the best set of supporters to visit GP for years. Incredible support given their position

I don’t think anybody is realistically expecting these players to come and help us perform the great escape; deep down, we all know the writing is on the wall.
However, maybe the optimism is there because we are hoping we actually might be competitive in games, perhaps create more than 2 chances every home game, score a few more goals and provide something resembling entertainment.

An almost perfect summary of our current plight.
The only sentence I’m inclined to disagree with, is the end one. Ours appears to be a story of mismanagement and incompetence rather anything more sinister- although the Jury is still out.

Certainly the biggest improver under Hill and has been one of the few to show glimpses of quality.
Not overly disappointed he’s gone, but expected a few more to be shown the door first.

The fat lady is warming up her vocal chords; even with a few more late additions the task is becoming insurmountable.
I understand it’s difficult to bring players in at the beginning of the month, but we really should have done our business earlier and given the squad a fighting chance.
Defeat next week and that’s us done.

The fact our experience is being contested by National League North teams sums it up

Never a Captain and one of the worst performers this year which is a feat in itself.

Feeney signed.
The calibre of player we need to be signing, so a welcome addition to such a lightweight midfield.

We look closer to a 6-0 hiding then we do a victory. Thankfully Bristol fluffed a couple of chances because the self destruct button was ready to be pressed.
They say it’s the hope that kills you, at least this lot are sparing us that.

As with any player, sincerely wish the lad the best of luck here.
However, he’s not a player with a track record that suggests he’s going to help get us out of the mire.

You’ve already answered the question:
Improving training facilities; plus the installation of a fanzone within the ground. Their biggest improvement- which ironically is free- is their supporter engagement, hence the 6k crowds.Not bad for a less than a year at the helm, and a significant more than we’ve done in 9 years and £12 million wasted.

There’s a world of difference in running an operating loss and pumping money into the infrastructure for the long term future of a club. Eventually it will pay dividends, as seen at Lincoln.
It’s what Swann should have invested his millions in when he first arrived. Improve facilities; improve supporter engagement; improve the long term sustainability rather than trying to massage his ego by chasing a championship dream that no reasonable Scunthorpe supporter would expect.
After all his millions, bluster and bullshit we are left with an ageing, tired looking stadium; basic training facilities, attendances at a 30 year low; and probably the worst football team ever assembled in our 72 years as a league team.

Confirms what we all thought; He hasn’t a pot to piss in and the club will be running at cost. Couple this with our disastrous recruiting over the last few years and it’s frightening to think where we might end up.

I can’t believe that. After getting new owners I thought they’d be storming the league.
At least they have some nice food to keep the ‘customers’ happy.
5,800 at home to Bromley today. Owners Spending a lot of time/money investing in the foundations to build the club upon whilst actively engaging with the supporters.
It may not be this season but they will be back in the EFL within the next few years

Watson was outstanding. The lad deserves a contract with a league club at the end of the year.
Not upset with the performances anymore, players seem to be still trying so that’s all I can ask for.
The Atmosphere is starting to turn nasty again and I suspect it will steadily get worse as the season progresses.

That’s funny uptheiron, I heard it directly from the chairman’s mouth that we could potentially lose up to £1million this year at the season ticket holders meeting.
Porky’s are being told by either you or Swann.

Wake me up when the season ends.
Shit show of a club

Oh for a Cammack, O’Berg, Grimes, Neenan, Partridge, Pilling, Oates, Green. Always put a shift in.
In fairness, so does this years team most of the time.
Just nowhere near good enough

Ultimately, it’s men against boys. If Jarvis would have bagged that chance then we may have salvaged a point, however it wouldn’t have been deserved and we were outplayed throughout.
We are asking a young lad who’s never played league football before and a bloke who’s scored 14 in 41 for Basingstoke to score enough goals to keep us up. It’s incompetent at best.
17 games left to go and I’m convinced the end of 72 years of league football is nigh. For those who are staying away, I’d advise popping down once or twice before the end of the season.
