They only average 2800 at home Ironawe 630 is a good turnout for them.

Yeah I get that Awaywego but the town population from the 2021 census is around 111,000 whereas Scunthorpe in the same census was 81 to 82,000. I know they live in an area with a lot of bigger league clubs and they have a rugby league team but it’s still rubbish support IMO.

[Iron-awe]

Still can’t get over the poor Rochdale turnout last night, I know they don’t get massive gates at home traditionally but to bring only 630 fans to an away game just 80 miles down the road with the great side they have to watch this season is not good enough. The York fans and I know York is nearer put the Rochdale fans to shame in turnout numbers.

[Iron-awe]

Good shout DM and as I said in my post match Rochdale comments for me Alfie is a great club player, always gives 100% runs himself into the ground game after game, great pro.

AB has gone 4-4-2 mid game a few times cass, why not have Dec on the bench as an option, you don’t have to go like for like every time you substitute a player.

Looking at bringing another striker in today but Dec seems to be a back burner option if the deal falls through. Seems a strange one, Dec is in form and scoring goals out on loan and with Farrel gone why would you not bring him back, go on AB bring Dec home, give him a chance.

Yep agree about Jones DM I like what I see, pace to burn, skilful and beats his man most times. He was up against a very good fullback last night but Jones gave him a hard time IMO.

Farrell has acquitted himself really well in his time with us an I am sorry to see him go back and there is deffo a good player in the making there, Barnsley should hang onto him, he’s one for the future.

Must have missed the clever pass then BB26, that midfield was a little congested at times.

[Iron-awe]

Certainly didn’t deserve to lose and the fight back was excellent because we had played some great football and didn’t deserve to be 2-0 down. I’m not going to slate Jones because the back pass left him in no man’s land and he made the wrong choice, shit happens and he pulled of some good saves in the match which helped us stay in it. Great opportunism from Cal to get us back into it and who else but Alfie Beestin drawing us level with a thumping shot, who doesn’t love Alfie really he’s proper Scunthorpe United through and through IMO, I hope he sees his career out with us. Most entertaining game along with the Forest Green encounter a few weeks back at the AA this season. Disappointing turnout for a top clash and Rochdale only bringing 630 fans to an away game with that team they have is rubbish IMO York brought 1600 and their fans were brilliant.

I thought Beck had been and gone? Or is he there and back?

You make Beck sound like the young man from Tashkent, whose cock was incredibly bent, with a great deal of trouble he got it in double and instead of coming he went boom boom.

Have I just missed something, thought that was our third consecutive away win and four wins out the last five games? Moving on yes the defence needs a revamp next season but we have discussed this for weeks so it’s not a new subject is it? As for Belahoun well he’s been out with nasty ankle injury since January and has had two injections and almost needed an operation so it’s obvious AB will be easing him back in, if some of you kept up with injury talk from the manager you wouldn’t have to ask or repeat the same old questions. Another cracking away win and playoffs looking virtually nailed on now, well done Iron 👏👏👏

Also spotted that Joey Dawson is yet to start a game for Buxton.

You have to be fit to start games, I think Joey has struggled in that department since coming back to us, reckon his two serious knee injuries have done for him in the professional game, he will be gone come summer, great shame he was some prospect as a young player.

[Iron-awe]

`I think Jones the keeper has looked pretty decent in the games I’ve seen him play and wasn’t he on Donny’s books in league one? If so why couldn’t he hack league two?

Lobby Lud. UTWI

My late father told me as a nipper that the Lobby Lud competition was run by the now defunct News Chronicle and when you spotted Lobby at a popular seaside resort which had been mentioned in that morning’s edition ( apparently Lobby would have a rolled up copy under his arm) you had to approach him and say “ you are Mr Lobby Lud and I claim the News Chronicle prize “ which as correctly stated was a fiver. Anyway moving on 😂

[Iron-awe]

Is there concrete evidence of this or just hearsay 🤔

Decent start two up in twenty minutes, glad Alfie got a start and got another goal, nice to see the young lad up top chipping in aswell.

[Iron-awe]

Posted same time as you Awaywego I wasn’t nicking your thunder by saying virtually the same thing, should be a comfortable win with DW watching from the bench.
