I still think the fact that the Walsall player got away with it was wrong. And Labadie definitely should have gone.
Labadie was a pretty open & shut case, definite second yellow for the drag back on Nuttall.
Pughs first yellow was given by the lino right in front of us never a yellow but for their player Kinsella i think but not sure rolling around and then all of a sudden we are ok,terrible sportsmanship i love it that we have a bit of nigglyness anout us
He went in studs up at about chest height – I think he was lucky not to walk for that one.

A game we would have lost under Cox?
Discuss.
A game we’d have lost under Hill 9 times out of 10 too.
We were awful last night but we were lucky enough to finally come up against an equally bad opponent. Yet we even managed to look distinctly second best for the first 20 minutes and our goal – from a brilliant free kick – was completely out of keeping with the rest of the game!
I thought Rowe did well & Grant has something to offer but aside from the 3 points, I’m not sure how much we can really take from that performance. We were even the width of a post away from conceding another goal from a set piece.

Thanks DM, I’ve used it in the past for the odd game when SUFC has promoted it but I wasn’t sure what the general rule was.

You could have said….. I was pissing by the trop dour, but we bomped into Koth Hull who served us.
Or, in Alcazar’s case, a simple “Good Moaning”.

Well, your manager’s half right, you’re not in a relegation battle with us, only Oldham!

Fans not being customers is a chimera
I read this in Mark E. Smith’s voice. “a chimer-aaaaaa”

Check the website Ferrite, there’s some offers on I believe.
I know you’re a troll or a parody but this is exactly how the club’s attitude to marketing comes across: “you come to us” rather than actively looking the other way round.
Why’s it naive? If you want to enjoy the good times you’ve got to endure the bad. Imagine what difference an extra 1000 fans could make to the playing budget? £250k per season at least!
Hi UTI, can you give some examples of initiatives put in place by the club to try to attract new fans (customers) or get old ones to return? Thanks!

It’s interesting. When Cox was here Ferrite was eagerly pointing out that the problem went beyond the manager, now it seems that the manager does have some fault. :-)
I’m just a bit baffled by how Hill is seen as some sort of a messiah among Iron fans. I realise this is partly due to how miserable the football had got under Cox and how Iron fans are desperate for some fresh hope but Hill’s not had much of an impact on the pitch so far. Hopefully it will come.
It must be said that Cox seemed to be in approval of at least some of the duds we’ve signed, and left them unfit, so cannot be whitewashed as some great manager. He was useless. :-)
I’ll leave it to better people than me to judge the fitness thing, I’m not entirely sure about that. He deffo signed some duds though! And his team was just awful to watch – that Barrow away game was a particular low.

I’ve not been paying attention, when is the new ground going to be finished?

He’s done all those things and should go but if he does go then our Club goes.
We are screwed on and off the pitch by himNot sure I buy this line of thought. The word from the club is that it is “sustainable”, which I understand to mean that the club spends what it earns. If that is the case, what does it matter who the owner is?

However you look at it – the squad has surely improved, hasn’t it?
The fact that that match fitness is sadly lacking does not mean that Hill has not done everything anyone could have done to ameliorate our terrible situation.Results & performances would suggest otherwise so far.
The big question is why did all these signings have to wait for the last minute? We should have ready to go at the end of December. How many games have we played in January, five or six? If we’d got those players – even half of them – in at the start of January, we might conceivably have a prayer.

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.
I’ll raise a glass to that! Being crap is one thing; being crap AND boring is much, much worse.

I tend to agree with Bob – I love the optimism among the fans but I don’t share it myself. I think we’ll win tomorrow but ultimately it will prove a bit of a false dawn.
Nuttall = this season’s Brian Quailey?
