We should be asking the govt to look at this deal.
Swann talks a lot but doesn’t say anything. Key question how much was the ground valued at? while he keeps saying it’s a good deal as we were paying interest its not if the ground is valued at say £25m, then its a good deal for Coolsilk. He says the club will pay rent when it can afford it. Who decides when than it is. What will the market rent be surely he has a figure in mind if you writing of £11m.

Not sure saying trust me works when he hasn’t delivered on any promises. i cant recall him saying relegation and the dullest football ever and my son and i will play footy manager to almost take us out the league.
Swann needs to start with an apology and then let those who know how to find, sign and manage players do so. Just like he does with his horses or does he tell jockeys how to ride too!?

[iron64]

i took the word of Swan to be true when he said for £11m debt write off he had secured the ground and the surrounds for his other company. Are you saying he wasn’t stating a fact!?

if the football authorities and/or Govt are keen to see the greed looked at within football perhaps we should petition the FL to investigate the takeover by the club by another company. If nothing else they could look at whether the land at £11m under valued?
Vague statements by Swan that at some point in the future the club may have to pay some unspecified rent don’t prevent me thinking Bury mk2!!

North Lincolnshire Irons, alcazar

[iron64]

how lucky can we get – Cods throw it away

[iron64]

any left who thinks we wont go down. Cods 6 shots on target so far, heady stuff

[iron64]

spoke to soon – at this rate goal diff will be gone by the end of the night

lets hope we can keep it to 2. Cods can play for a win knowing a draw is a good result

[iron64]

goal difference advantage disappearing by the minute – nothing negative just realism.

[iron64]

Forest Green no win in 9, they beat us. Walsall no away win in 9 they beat us. Mansfield no home win in 5 they beat us. Hours and hours without a shot on target. See no reason for us to get another point this season.
Summed up by Spencer’s interview on website “. . . we need to give Newport nothing on Tuesday and hope to try to get a goal.” That’s our new found tactic hope
We finish with 47
Southend are doomed
Cods sadly i see them getting 3 wins or even 7 points and catch us on goal diff
Barrow will get the 1 point to overtake us tonight.
Swann sells the club for pennies as its national league puts the rent up on the ground and makes a killing on the land

Still in shock. Al was my friend for 45 years. He was a great friend, father, husband, brother and has followed the Iron home and away for decades. Will be missed by many.

[iron64]

hope he doesn’t claim they were tired – Vale played Saturday too!!

[iron64]

cant help himself thinks 5-4-1 is the way. Loft who looks decent with a partner now left alone to struggle with his injury, and the ball keeps coming back. Cox didn’t think attacking is the better way to defend

[iron64]

we were rubbish in the 70’s but we didnt sit back and not try to win. We had shots

[iron64]

“You said “I like good active attacking football” well up to now I have seen this not seen this! so please stop worrying about the other side and talking them up and just concentrate on your own side.”

Spot on – i doubt any of our opponents give a thought to how we play. All they have to say is dont worry about us we wont cross the half way line

[iron64]

unless their is a ‘new’ striker this week then next game Cox will sadly revert back to Loft. And will bemused why doing the same thing each week gets the same results. Football is so simple decent keeper and then 3 pairs down the middle and yet its beyond Cox

[iron64]

i wonder which coaching course Cox went on when the idea was suggested when you go a goal down you take your striker off? Perhaps he left the room when they said replace the one isolated striker with 2 strikers

[iron64]

fail to see where another point will cone from. Did Cox actually believe his own rhetoric when he said we would attack!!?

[iron64]

we can cut and paste our comments from Tue – set up not to win only two possible outcomes.

[iron64]

we forget we are playing an excellent side and need to adjust to nullify them. Cox will so pleased not to concede to a side below us

[iron64]

As Newey said we showed no interest in winning that game. Cox talked himself into thinking we were playing decent team which clearly we weren’t. Play for a draw you get nothing. Howard at fault but Cox set them up not to win

[iron64]

not a happy bunch at becoming our B team

[iron64]

Like many others – team proved me wrong. Perhaps having Clark alongside the kids at C/half makes the difference. O’Malley is too good to be worried about who’s along side him.

[iron64]

with both centre halfs now missing 10/1 Walsall to score 4+ goals looks easy money

[iron64]

Clearly don’t practice set plays, either defending them or putting a decent ball in. And hoof ball can only take a couple of minutes practice the way we play it. Question is – what do we do in training!? We don’t seem to be able to impose ourselves on a game. We have no obvious pattern of play.
Why did Cox just go down to their level. We kicked off, hoofed it out and never stopped tryin the same failing approach. Poor day for Cox

[iron64]

guess 5 at the back with Clarke 3rd center-half. 0-0 bore draw i fear
Do wish Cox would stop giving players excuses. Fail to see how professional athlete can complain is tired playing twice a week and little training it seems. Yet after each game he tells them they are tired. Why not say they are looking forward to doing what they paid to do. basic management skill. Don’t remember Adkins having tired players!

[iron64]

performance as good as last week -just finishing quality missing.
Pity Essex radio mentioned no away wins this season and not won here since that 4-3 in 1995. Sure that broke a 20+ games without an away win for them

[iron64]

that’s my point – he didn’t bring him on and go 3 at the back

[iron64]

pleasing game, decent performance, a game we would have lost last month. we all would have taken 7/9 at 3pm last Sat
Good to see Rowe improving. Rest played as would expect.
Cox – best substitutions he’s made this season. Tried to impact positively not just invited pressure with more defenders. And changed the shape to get back in the game.

[iron64]

jeez what an awful way to play the game – no need to play that deep. first half was spot on

[iron64]

and now 9-0-1 – if we don’t win sad to say Cox to blame
