I just want us to set out to win every match instead of containment, Saturday was a perfect example of never having the right mindset to win a one off game, still can’t believe how negative a lot of our setups have been this season with the squad we had.

I’m guessing this subject is only visible to true believers then bill ?

Wow more revelations, thanks for posting Apollo11, remarkable stuff from Michelle and her team and well done Julie what a star you are. The £100,000 in bonuses required to find if we’d gone up is another Hilton legacy issue, what a loon. Let’s hope those new solar panels being fitted continue to light our way forward to a brighter future.
I will be buying a season ticket next season, the first time since lockdown simply because of Michelle and her new board saving the club and hopefully to keep pushing forward. I have still regularly attended home games since 2020 ( think I missed four this season just gone ) but I haven’t been away since lockdown, I’m getting too old and cranky for all those balls aching bus trips particularly coming home after a thumping defeat, plus I have had enough of listening
to people talking bollocks about the game I love whilst stuck on a coach on the way home.7 users thanked author for this post.
I’m sure Awaywego that Gareth is told plenty off camera he can’t put out on the vlog and I’m sure he has a fair bit of editing to do before he posts it. Thing is if you start regularly questioning the manager and staff over team selection from fans and it’s regularly posted then Gareth might find his vlog is not required by the club in the ground and whilst I believe in free speech it’s not always appreciated in people’s faces week after week game after game, he may find himself banned. At the moment he appears to have a good relationship with Jimmy and his staff, that could change and the old Swann siege mentality could return, I don’t think anybody wants that and whilst some of the content is a bit twee at times I always think Gareth gives a pretty fair analysis of what is going on and wrong during the game. I think he should be left alone to get on with what he’s doing and as always if you disapprove then don’t watch it, it’s not compulsory.
Gotta agree and Saturdays team set up was just a bridge too far with Beestin played in the wrong position, Sembie-Ferris left on the bench and a sub keeper for the first time in ages also on the bench reeked of containment rather than go out and win the game in normal time, which with the right team selection and tactics we were more than capable of. It’s all ended up very flat and disappointing and I’m sorry to say JD is entirely to blame.

Quite a lot are just offering opinions mick which is fine but until the board make up their mind one way or tuther then speculation will continue to run rife amongst us all.

Look nothing is a given in football but considering the quality of the squad based on a massive budget compared to the rest of the divisions clubs and the fact plenty on here and in the ground on match day have stated we should have comfortably won the title then JD has to be moved on. Yes he’s a really nice guy and genuinely loves and wants the best for this football club but he’s way short on tactical nous for getting the best out of these players in this division, he’s been out thought too many times by better manager’s with poorer squads and in the best interests of this football club going forward he has to leave. Sorry Jimmy, nice guy with a great heart but you are not good enough for this football club.

Understandably a lot of anger on here tonight and as a result probably a lot of comments are not as objective as they should be, that’s fair enough, anger can do that to a lot of opinion straight after an event that causes such passion and feeling. I would say it was a collective failing of the whole team and management over the season that led to today’s display on the field, we were simply not good enough when it came to the big occasion games or consistent enough to achieve the results this group of players should have been capable of getting. A disappointing end to a disjointed season but there was success and big success at that, our football club was saved and we still have a football club to watch because of that. Go away,lick your wounds and come back next season knowing you can watch a team from this town, win, lose or whatever but we still all have a football club. Thank you Michelle and the board for that.

Crozzer is a legend … and available
Watched the Iron since 1964 and Crozzer is one of the best centre backs I ever saw pull on an Iron shirt, watching him lead out the team with that broken nose and contemptuous look on his face was enough to scare me never mind the opposition. What a great leader and motivator he was for us.
I’m guessing Cliff that the season ticket holders seats who have not yet been purchased will remain greyed out till the Tuesday deadline then if not purchased they will become available for general sale and turn green but a lot of non season ticket holders seats in the main stand have already gone, the club want as many as possible in the ground for Saturday so it’s a no brainer many have already been sold, they are a business FFS and one that nearly went bang a few months back, they need all the money they can get as quickly as possible.

Actually SNOT is wrong about all the central greyed out seats being season ticket holders, several non season tickets were bought on Sunday online and mine is one of them. Going to be a big crowd I reckon.

Part of the reason VAR came in was due to pundits on shows like MOTD constantly going on about poor refereeing decisions, now the pundits moan about the people who control VAR on match days either informing or not informing referees when they should review certain incidents occurring during the game, it’s bonkers. Damned if you do damned if you don’t it’s a no win situation. VAR is just a machine, it gives marginal offsides because that’s how humans have set it up, all the controversy surrounding VAR is as always down to human interpretation and interference, JI is right they should have left things alone and allowed referees to sometimes make mistakes because guess what?, they are human after all.
