Agree, we must have been spoilt previously because we’ve had some fantastic strikers in the past. Not so much in the last 3/4 years (KVV aside)

Les this sounds like the last two season ends / build the experienced spine around some Iron youth.
My view is we cannot go into the NL with so many youngsters starting – it may destroy them and us at the same time. A rotation of no more than 2/3 from the youth team in the side. Some league experience and some
non league experience.Key for me is more pace and width – most if not all the players in the past 2 years have lacked both. Pace and width usually entertains brings the fans back.

The apathy set in long before this season, I tried to get my lads interested but the quality was so poor they aren’t interested.
I rarely watch MOTD and any football on ITV I avoid. I actually enjoy listening to Roy Keane more than any football – he is hilarious at times.Scunthorpe need to try and get the magic back for the fans which means new owners – I started in the 80’s and we were hit and miss for years but it never mattered back then it was just special to watch them – Swann family has really destroyed everything the club meant but we can get it back

The problem I have is Swann believes that peddling out these people somehow absolves him of his responsibility – I have noticed some criticism of Simon Elliot and now Lee Turnbull – but they were (have been) sold a pup and have been used by Swann based on their love of the club and he has taken advantage of that for purely selfish reasons. You could argue that both should not accept any role under this regime but I am sure they both thought they could help connect with the fans but everything at the club is rotten and the task thankless. I just hope recruitment is commenced under a new regime because the thought of another 44 players being used under the Will Swann sh*tshow doesn’t bear thinking about

I’m going to Bristol but that it’s for me no other matches. There will be ten of us, some who haven’t been for years – one last time to wave goodbye to league football

I can’t get my head around 44 players used this season!
A new squad every 11 games!
Which leads you to think relegation was pencilled in some time ago and KH is just looking at as many players as possible to see who to keep.Swann had no intent of paying the loan back so we were only going one way

Planning is irrelevant if any Swann family member is connected with the club. Get them out, new owners in and then recruitment done by those who know football / could add 500 season tickets and much needed positivity

As a businessman I don’t think Swann could have done a worse job, aside from admin/liquidation he has got every single thing wrong. I think if you took a chimp out of the jungle and gave him the role he would’ve got one thing right.

Relegation. Hope for a turnaround like other occasions but I fear we are in a perfect storm of useless manager and hopeless chairman.
The most upset I have been for a prediction coming to reality. All the posters saw it and those that didn’t were hoping for something positive which cannot be faulted. Heartbreaking
Next season 18th

I agree Les, the embargo hamstrung us, the constraints were serious enough to prevent KH getting any of his choices and he made do. Oldham had bigger revenues so could be more flexible and get better players – our chairman who has yet to fulfil one promise said we were ok with the constraints – clearly that was BS. KH was dealt a crap hand but part of me thinks he’s just given up. I will reiterate though our plight is only down to one man and his family.

back to OP, i think it is deeper than that Les. You can get through most games where 2 or 3 are having a poor game. I believe none of the squad are good enough however the youngsters can develop and learn but as Tom Newey pointed out it does no good playing full matches for the young ones. We have a set of really poor players who have been consistently poor. We wouldn’t be relegated if only 2 or 3 are bad. We’ve tried 43 different players and the recruitment has been disgraceful. KH also appears to have given up on tactics and is just throwing players at the pitch and seeing what lands. We have 7-8 not up to it every match and the rest made up of youngsters who cannot learn purely because of the circumstances that are thrust upon them.

It was the most organised we have been on the pitch all season we should start with them next game.

The worrying thing is that for several years we are continually replacing players and every player is worse than the previous, this means that people see previous players in a better light when really they were crap but we somehow unearth worse footballers.
43 players used this season (nearly 4 full teams – FGR used 19) and each time the quality drops slightly. Nuthall is an example among many. None of this squad is any good, none.If he left a good job at Peterborough to become lickspittle for a failing business owner then I would have given him more credit than I should, but for now he has credit in the bank.

We need to sort out the final third – we remain clueless in the final third – just no clue what to do.
I noticed when we stole the ball in midfield,
being 1-0 down and we just stopped. No movement no forward momentum they just had no idea.
Need Paul Hayes in to sort out the attack because Hill hasn’t a clue about attacking football2 users thanked author for this post.
that’s a relief

The more matches Hill loses the more the focus turns sightly away from Swann – its ideal for him. Hill was really constrained by the EFl loan, I doubt the players he got were his 1,2,3rd choice – they were just what’s left. However…..
You can all see the scenario, Hill builds the team, fails and we’re near the foot of the table when Swann gets rid – and the new manager has to work with the same players. if, and its a huge ‘if’ Hill is allowed to buy his own players then its crucial he gets it right because on stats alone he is the worst manager we’ve ever had but very little is on him – I just wish he would change the crap he comes out with on interview
high on alcohol, ffs how did you get here from Victorian England?
