A word of caution, we won our first away game last season against a team that ran away with the league. Not again surely. UTI.

I know what you’re saying and it’s only one game but I don’t see Brackley doing a Tamworth myself. Should be up there though

I watched on stream yesterday, did anybody else see the cricket in the background? They took a wicket at exactly the same time we scored our second or third goal.

Yes! I saw that. Who needs EFL grounds when you got 2 for the price of 1 watching NLN streams? Kind of surreal though.

And the low volume which they blamed on the microphones. Said they couldn’t fix until half time but second half was lower volume apart from a few seconds after the match had finished and it went higher. I suspect a loose cable or summerts

[Deereyme66]

Careful, last time I used the term ‘footy’ I got compared to Tim bloody Lovejoy.

[Deereyme66]

They actually looked like they knew what they were supposed to be doing for a change, determined, confident and enjoying themselves. Huge credit to the squad and coaching team. Schofield never stopped instructing and motivating all 90mins. Compare that to Brackley’s head coach who sounded like a bit of whinging plonker tbh. A great start. UTI

[Deereyme66]

Jimmyball is dead. Long live Butlerball.

[Deereyme66]

Brackley commentators slowly fading out to virtually nothing all through second half. Much like their team. Very pleasing performance from the Iron, particularly second half. May well be a case for quality coaching staff making a difference in the half time talk. Beestin must be challenging for a start next match. A lot to be positive about. Tenner well spent, makes a pleasant change! UTI!!

3 nil up and looking much fitter and at it than anything under Dean. All this ‘Butler’s a defender / not going to be attacking enough’ stuff looks a bit premature now. And unfounded. Really positive front footed second half

Boom!!! 3 nil. Boyce nearly smashing it through the net. Much better passing and ball control this half. Quality of player and fitness levels showing.

Yes!! Cracking second goal after a passage of prolonged possession and much better passing and creativity. Like that a lot! Brogan’s been a handful since coming on

[Deereyme66]

A few half time comments on X like ‘impressive’. Wouldn’t go that far. We’ve looked very fit and at it, broken them down well but need to retain possession more second half and start stringing more passes together. A pretty scrappy but evenly matched first half IMO. Nice summery breeze sound and live pitch pic during the break. Better than a holding image and shite background muzak.

[Deereyme66]

Well taken rebound from Beestin that. Might quieten his critics somewhat

[Deereyme66]

Can hear the Iron fans much more than the commentator. This may not be a bad thing

[Deereyme66]

Quote from awaywego. Absurd. I’d wager the number that wanted Butler were far fewer than those that weren’t overly keen but understood the logic of the appointment and were prepared to accept the Board’s decision.

[Deereyme66]

Some have shrines of Butterfield in their wardrobes

Been reading 1984 again. The only totalitarianism is coming from the likes of Musk, Trump, Farage, Yaxley Lennon, etc.

[Deereyme66]

No one has said predicting a defeat makes you less of an Iron fan. Finding the negativity ‘staggering’ doesn’t imply that.

[Deereyme66]

The opinions of AWG over ACG? I know, it’s a tough call.

[Deereyme66]

Probably still only making a slim profit with the amount of people paying for it tbf. Or a couple of commentators at each game are earning a bit?

[Deereyme66]

‘achieved by coup’. In what way exactly?

[Deereyme66]

Personally don’t have an issue with you posting it in this side given the situation awaywego.

Awaywego

Saw him supporting Paul Heaton at Edgeley Park a few years ago. Someone I know was playing harmonica with him

[Deereyme66]

Probably will watch it

[Deereyme66]

Yes

‘That feel good factor that fans were wanting during the Swann era, we got that last season with Danny’s fayre so no going backwards.’

Is it possible to go further backwards than that hygiene rating?
