Hang on haven’t we secured a £750,000 efl grant for pitch improvements? If we can’t come up with something decent after that investment we are totally clueless when it comes to getting a decent surface in place for August

[Iron-awe]

Great news about Ewing and talking to Roberts is a positive, shame about Brogan in two seasons he’s never really figured in Butlers plans which is a shame, guess he just doesn’t fancy him in his squad.

[Iron-awe]

You would think so about Bunker, however Smith has shown so far that’s not always the case, hoping for a big improvement from him next season.

Agree about needing to shoot more, we tend to overplay too much at times when a simple wack it from 25 yards and take a chance is often the way to go in a lot of people’s eyes. It’s all very well playing pretty passing football but pointless with no positive end product.

I get your points Awaywego but as you say fans yardsticks don’t count because the owners make the decisions regarding club manager appointments and whether they believe the manager employed by them is doing a good job, that’s where the differences are . The people pulling the purse strings will always have the final say and I reckon most fans except that as pretty unchangeable but opinions are different things altogether and we are all allowed one of them and IMO I reckon the manager is doing a decent job overall .

Was down at the ground yesterday just after the match being played had finished, 8-8 apparently between John leggot college and some Hull team or so I was told by a guy in the car park, who also said pitch renovations were starting today but again that was just his version of events. Not much defending taken into consideration for that match though 😂

[Iron-awe]

I’m guessing the owners have different yardsticks to measure what they class as success for the club based on expectations from finances provided by them and promotion followed by consolidation, which included a playoff semi final, I reckon will suffice for them. I’m happy for AB to stay based on his record over two seasons as manager and the budgets he’s had to deal with, he’s not got every call on team affairs right but which manager does if we’re being honest about it.

Maybe we should sign Vincent Kompany as manager, former centre back whose Bayern Munich team win nearly every game playing attacking football, however he has the right playing budget to help him out a bit. Give Butler a York Ciy budget and we will be promoted no problem.

I’m not sure you’re right.
He’s done the “sit on it, everyone behind the ball” too often for me, and often to our cost.

Till he gets the York City budget though I’m not sure your right either, pure speculation and speculating about Butler being replaced given his track record is laughable.

It’s more about budgets them managers IMO , we can’t prove it either way of course but the team going up had head and shoulders the biggest budget in the division, the Boreham Wood manager deserves a lot of credit for managing his team to a play off final at this level.

Because we’ve got Butler.

You mean the guy who got us promoted last season and really should not have got us into the top 5 this season on the budget and the predictions? Oh ok.

Yeah, the guy who cost us the championship last season through arrogance, stubbornness and naivety.
And the same guy whose stubbornness with refusing to accept we NEEDED a goalie, has cost us many points this season.
That guy?
Oh, ok

Always try to add a little objectivity to a discussion, never goes well after a defeat and of course people respond with opinions as is their prerogative but are completely unprovable, the board will keep AB because his record over two seasons and with his budgets available has been very productive. All about opinions however, have a nice close season everyone and enjoy the World Cup.

I’m sure we would rather play Rochdale twice next season then that long journey to Boreham Wood so I will be rooting for the underdog at Wembley. Close but no cigar for us but we half expected what the outcome would be, just need the retained list sorted asap so we can start planning next season quickly.

Congratulations to Boreham Wood what a season for them, bet Mark Hughes’s is having a right old sulk.

[Iron-awe]

Ewing was motm against Southend but Evans was outstanding on the night.

[Iron-awe]

You would hope Boyce and Rose are absolutely fit to be drafted into the squad at the expense of Smith and Brogan, it’s a massive game today.

Most people of a certain age have plenty health wise going on and quite a lot is some type of cancer related, what they don’t do is go forums mentioning it as a defence for their piss pot stupid references to something banal like an edit facility on a football forum, as for you Mr Xxx troll you as always can do one 🖕😂😂😂

Wonder if he’ll bottle it and put an extra keeper on the bench and only play one up front in a home game he has to win 🤔

You have such strong views of everything Iron, live in the town and don’t attend?

Is there a section on this clunky forum where only opinions of people who attend can be read?

Are you mentally ill? Just saying it’s a genuine question you are such a strange person IMO

It’s a shame a mod gets so wound up, over the deficiencies of this forum being pointed out, they resort to that sort of response.

Anyway back to this Rochdale ticket thread eh?

Oh give over you post gotcha type posts then start bleating like a lamb when the banter kicks in,why bring up a very common diagnosed condition in a lot of older men and make out your a victim, you really are taking the piss ( intentional pun )why not make like the forums edit button and leave soon.

That’s a very a very unique ‘feature’.

Apologies for pointing out it’s a substandard forum.

Something else which is substandard is my bladder, due to post P.C, meaning multiple visits to the loo in the night. I’m definitely at the mercy of spelling police and the warts on this forum on here on those occasions.

We wanted it more then them on the night and that was the difference IMO.

[Iron-awe]

It’s all about money ultimately and nothing to do with how big or small a club you are. How many people wrote off Bournemouth when they made it to the Premier League but their multi millionaire owner plus the money available as a Premier League team soon shot holes in that club size argument. Probably now one of the most attractive footballing sides to watch in the Premier. Look at Wrexham what has put them in playoff contention to the Premier it’s money. We are bucking the trend this season but it happens a lot less when compared to the money issue. If we get promoted this season it will be down to great management and the players grafting their nuts off week in week out, enjoy it whilst you can I reckon.
