Well we did not concede a late goal against Tranmere last Saturday but we did have 11 players on the field not 10 ( for 70 minutes incidentally today ) and we also did not have another of our better defenders off injured either. These little details have a habit of making the team weaker defensively, in case you happened to miss these minor details before posting your question.
Damned if he does damned if he doesn’t, would probably be hoping for a yellow but final thoughts, tough call seeing out a game for 70+ minutes with just ten men. Take this result on the chin and move on, no need for despondency.
Beating Carlisle 3-0 on the final day, Torps last outing and the ground rising to applaud him off the pitch for the last time when substituted, plus the Carlisle fans staying behind at the end to generously applaud our Champions as they paraded the League One Trophy round the pitch. Just a wonderful season for us all to enjoy.

Nice to read some positive posts based mainly on Saturdays result against Tranmere and to those posting who did not attend that game I would point out that despite the possession stats which hugely favoured Tranmere, it was the Iron creating chances whereas Tranmere didnt. We just need to finish these moves off but the team looked a lot more fluid going forward last week and the win was thoroughly deserved, the optimism from those who attended is justified IMO.
Probably best not to bite when he goes fishing…..
Your probably right MK but it’s just so annoying how a parody account spreading Nazi propaganda and racist hatred can be allowed to flourish on this board but SST appears to have disappeared into his shell over such matters. NI is quite correct, hatred won’t win, no many how many idiots decide to thank Big Jokes posts, he’s not remotely funny either.
It was a fantastic season wasn’t it with many memorable games and some cracking football in brilliant atmospheres. If only……

Just another example of how over coached the game has become over the years and another reason why we all appreciate individual skill on display when it occurs. I’m sure if Green took it upon himself to try what has been suggested he would receive the mother of all bollockings from the coaching staff if things went wrong. Myself and a lot of others who sit together at GP have discussed this for many years but doing something different would be so refreshing and if it worked would be warmly received. The problem is managers and coaches look at every eventuality that could occur from set piece situations and if Green wasn’t near an opponent he should have been if the move broke down from say a poor delivery and the opposition broke back upfield and scored, there would be hell to pay.
It seems sad that in attempting to eliminate all possibilities of conceding the game becomes so sterile from certain set piece situations. Remember the last line to most teams as they depart up the tunnel onto the field is ” don’t concede “.Underwhelmed but I guess it reflects the budget, best of luck young man, hope it works out well for both parties. Where’s the bloody striker?

….and so is the unacceptable debt and ground grab.

Never seen the guy play live before and Cass makes a very good point about fitness, I thought the lad did ok without being outstanding, which I would not expect anyway after such a long period out with injury. I’m giving the lad a chance to prove himself and I think others should too, look how Rory has improved in his last few games. We need to give these young guys a chance and be prepared to take the rough with the smooth this season, we have no choice, no budget means no experience or quality in abundance.

We lack quality but make up for a lot with work rate, passion and sheer determination. The only downer for me was not finishing chances but the guys worked hard to create them which is a big positive. Deffo pen for me les, arm raised when no need, well played ref on that one and well done all the players in general for just keeping battling on for the whole game. Fair play to Cox he has instilled a great attitude in these players and when injuries clear up we should be ok. Still need another striker but the defence is spot on for me, well done guys 👏👏👏

One promotion, two playoff semi finals in div one, and missed out on another on goal difference, one relegation, and made a loss while doing so much like every other club, seems quite good to me, don’t know about you?. Could be worse Barcelona have a £1.15 billion loss and theirs hasn’t been written off.
Whartons record was better, promoted from league two, champions of league one, play-off winners at Wembley, three seasons in the championship, manageable debt of two million, owned the ground and never once put it into another company to cover an unmanageable eleven million pounds debt. Yes there were a couple of relegations but come on be truthful for once, the two records aren’t even comparable.

He doesn’t need an excuse ironking, haven’t you noticed it’s always somebody else’s fault never the Prawns. It’s called passing the buck after fuc***g up himself.

Ok show me how it’s done? I have nothing against Wharton but why did we get relegated to league 2 after all those glittering successes you mention? I assume it was nothing to do with Wharton.
Discuss the unacceptable level of debt, lack of success compared to Mr Wharton and the ground grab that has never occurred before in the history of SUFC until this current chairman came along. Why don’t you discuss that Mr club sycophant?

The statement regarding washing down of all seating prior to the season starting is clearly untrue as many on here have stated about their own seats on matchday. I took a cloth with me for the Swindon game after a mates advice who had been to the Burton game pre season and my seat was filthy. The dust for a start was very thick and there were dirty marks and cobwebs on the backs of the seat and on the seat itself, many others around me were the same, so sorry SUFC you are clearly printing an untruth. Whether it’s because a member of staff is attempting to cover their arse or not I don’t know, I suppose the next statement will read ” well that’s what the stadium staff told us, honest “.
I did hear on a coaching course my grandson son attended this week down at Bottesford Town ( organised by SUFC ) that the stadium manager had been suspended as a result of the state of the stadium this season. Don’t know if that is true but it was being said this week by coaching staff running the course.Well at least you made an attempt an answer of sorts but you don’t mention the debt accrued under this chairman who has achieved nothing like the success Mr Wharton did with a much more manageable financial position and you never mention the ground grab that has occurred due to this chairman’s financial mismanagement. Wharton never promised that much but delivered a lot more then was expected and clubs like ours very rarely achieve long term sustained success due to the amount of financial clout we can generate through our size. The vast majority of Iron fans realise this and are happy to follow a club achieving occasional success but striving to play decent football whilst bringing youngsters through to help careers and provide financial stability through transfers.
This chairman promised much from a new stadium to a revamped stadium to the hope of championship football but none of this has materialised in 8 years of his stewardship. What has occurred is one promotion, two play off semi final defeats, a relegation and a financial disaster for such a small club. The biggest loss is the ownership of the football club for the first time in its history due to financial bungling. If you addressed that point rather then slag off genuinely concerned fans who raise these issues then maybe a healthier debate could ensue.Garcia! Garcia! Garcia!
Never mind that, address the questions put to you about the respective chairman’s records, less of your sycophantic drivel and more attention to actual details and facts. If your referring to Alex and his Wembley winning goal back in 1999 being the link to your avatar, no one gives a shit, just answer the points raised, be genuine for once in your pathetic existence or else shut it numb nuts.
I believe he got us relegated into league 2 and decided he’d had enough.
As usual a Scunny fan making out everything was rosey before the Swanns and will be rosey after the Swanns.
I think you mean rosy, anyhow let’s put the respective chairman’s records on promotion, trips to Wembley, seasons actually played in the Championship and debt incurred whilst in charge. Oh yes and Mr Wharton never transferred the club ownership away into a separate company to cover his sorry arse. Your go.

I have a dream, Cass.
One day there will BE clean seats at the SVS.Aye clean seats, clean toilets, reasonably good catering and a decent team to watch playing enjoyable football most of the time, plus the odd promotion, winning the odd league title and a few trips to Wembley some successful some not.
Whatever happened to Steve Wharton?

He could do to lose a bit of weight and hopefully become more mobile but I guess he is what he is.
Give it up Awaywego the reflection in the flat screen of the sparsely populated Iron Bar tells it’s own story, what a joke. I’ve been in plenty of away bars at half time ( would never go in our shit hole of a bar ) and they have always been jammed with fans jostling, chatting and more importantly all drinking beer. The screen should read lost customers due to an idiot not lost signal.

The latest bull poop was something happening by next August regarding the apartments wasn’t it? Just in time for our return to non league football then.

I am not surprised the foreigners have ruined fine British cuisine! They don’t know what to cook apart from off meat covered in spices! Their muck isn’t fit for purpose, so they will ruin fish and chips! There aren’t many good fish and chip shops now because of this! I hope libtards are happy with the outcome of their diversity! We used to have good chippies, now ruined because this country is being flooded with immigrants who can cut costs!
….as for you Adolph, you are just a hate filled shit stirrer, don’t think any sensible well adjusted folk will be taking much notice of your bilge as the truth.

Went downhill like this thread, once the Greeks got hold of it Ironawe.
That’s crap Awaywego and you know it, eat with your gob man not your eyes judging a shop owners nationally or colour, the fish and chips are still excellent at Carvers and I suspect the new owners use the same fish suppliers and possibly they took advice from Rosie on the old cooking method that made them taste so good. As for price, everything goes up but the quality remains, plus they do home delivery now.

Good chippy in Ashby– Carvers, the haddock is superb and the chips and mushy peas are also very goodThe last uti99 post just confirms that sycophants never do thin, they are permanently thick.

But they’re just a Mickey Mouse club fresh out of non-league!
Probably just being run as a hobby too, not a proper professionally run club like ours.
We were looking good for a win and I was enjoying the game much more then the Swindon encounter, we looked sharp going forward particularly second half and Scrimshaw was excellent, great goal and in their faces the entire game. Then the equaliser, once again Pugh found wanting at wing back/full back and beaten too easily by their winger who provided an easy finish for their forward and then we could have lost it when we should have been already out of sight. Good display by Watson but why oh why can’t we manage a game better when heading for three points? It’s getting better but it’s tedious slow in getting that first win.
Someone to work in tandem with Loft we hope, when Loft is fit of course. What’s this maybe a 4-4-2 coming back to GP?
