    Absolute garbage. Simple as that. This squad is offering nothing for me…..

    The joke about signing Kyle Hurst isn’t funny – stop it please. He’s not at the level we need, by some distance

    I would’ve thought the statement made by Michelle at that time was very much a needs must statement. Pretty certain she had to be very careful with her wording.

    Barrows isn’t good enough for NL. Seen glimpses of not bad play but it’s interspersed with lots of dross

    One game we had a song still being played and the players stood waiting to start for about a minute – only because the networks were still on adverts. Fair play to ITV for not succumbing to the temptation

    Despite what’s written here, along with Robert’s and, arguably Westbrooke they were in the Top 5 performers for us last season. No one has taken the slightest interest in our dross at the back. Lots of work to do in the market

    I remember being sat 6 ft away from the Leeds fans when they had that naughty corner so it can be done. Having away fans in there, no trouble that day so doubt Eastleigh will kick off.

    When you say Hilton started restructuring did this start with the land near Wickes that was never purchased or the complete embargo on paying any staff their wages?
    Westbrooke is a loss but I’ll get over it quickly if we get a midfielder in who can contribute some goals.

    Didn’t we get £750k grant on the proviso we put in £250k. The pictures certainly look like a lot of work is going into it. I’m guessing the carpet ‘takes root’? Or do we leave it loose to brush stuff under it?

    His logic of taking characters despite not being best available is flawed (England cricket check) MGW has earned a place way above Toney and Henderson. Wasn’t particularly looking forward to it anyway Infantino and Trump’s America taking away any sense of excitement. Tuchel will be gone and Pep will be in after the World Cup.

    It’s a tricky one, I don’t like the constant begging bowl because it just cheapens the product and could have an impact on business sponsorship. There will always be room for fan support but some of the tat that comes out of the club for sale and some of the things they ask for goes too far. I think about that young boys family who didn’t get a birthday shout out because they wanted £20 out of him.

    However the club might be desperate for every pound and penny, I think they need a commercial department who knows more about this stuff rather than putting a price tag/sponsorship deal on anything that doesn’t move.

    So we did everything correct last season but forgot to water it? Use to be the case the turf around Scunny was best in the land, Old Trafford use to use it (may still well do).
    Could we not find a sponsor for the watering can?

    If we don’t get an experienced keeper we’ll have the same pantomime we had last season with 4 keepers each dropping clangers. I too am surprised we’ve kept barrows who isn’t great. Hopefully Campbell gets a season long loan in NLN that’s his level atm.

    You would think freeing up space by letting Dawson and Beck go plus Carlton having gone would give us room for another decent striker. To get out of this division we’ll need goals, and a lot of them.

    Need to build from the back, our goal difference and goals conceded was no match for most of the top 6. Don’t want to see any of the keepers here that started last season. Need at least two solid CB’s and also need creativity in midfield with an AM who can contribute goals. Some of our defending over the whole season has been very questionable. Something I would expect better from Butler with his defensive capabilities. Throughout the season the two best players were Ewing and Roberts, we still have a lot of dross in the squad.

    Shame, our leaky defence was always going to catch up with us. Rochdale deserve to go up anyway

    All sold out without any going on general sale? Pretty poor showing again – only needed 400 season ticket holders to bag the full entitlement and then you’re done.

    My biggest worry is getting to Wembley the amount of absolute tat the commercial department will start trying to sell. Will make Del Boy look like Chanel (full size cardboard cut outs being auctioned…..bonnet de douche )

    Looking at ticket sales there won’t be that many on the pitch. Very different to the Chester game where many couldn’t get a ticket. Surely this is a bigger step so would generate more interest. Maybe 6-6.5k assuming Southend sell their allocation

    My heart clearly says Scunthorpe to win, my head says 1 or 2 nil defeat. We can’t score and we’re a bit toothless at the minute…..and we always concede

    I can’t see us getting past Southend unfortunately. Although if we did I would fancy us to beat Rochdale over York. The sobering side of today is it’s 2 wins in 9 home games and we do look toothless, however Ewing is coming back into form so that’s a positive

    Two goals in 4 games is the worry, Whitehall has disappeared, Dec done well but we’re just not playing good enough at the minute. The point leaves 5th on our own destiny at least.

    I’d prefer them to play on the sandpit – gives us more time to let the pitch bed in. Last thing I want to see is the pitch being farmed out all May/June. One dislocated knee from a pro would eat through all the income

    Butler has his obvious flaws. Needs to work on those but you cannot argue with his win %age. Has to be the, if not one of the all time best in terms of results. Would be amazing to have a fresh squad next season league two and a beautiful pitch having had all close season to get it right.

    Interestingly Les I did the same with Evans (watched the long passes out of the back) in the last home match, 9 out of the first 10 failed to reach a Scunthorpe player. In a world of playing to stats you think someone would have a word. Either more practice needed or maybe don’t do as many.
