Please God let’s get an experienced keeper can’t go through another season with 4 inadequate keepers

[Ironawe]

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 )

[Ironawe]

Played very good to a man. I reckon we can do Rochdale

[Ironawe]

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

[Ironawe]

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

Looked over the line from the camera pitch side

[Ironawe]

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.

[Ironawe]

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

[Ironawe]

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.

[Ironawe]

One of Butlers weaknesses is his man child behaviour. He comes across as a spoilt little child and cannot accept criticism. Optics for the club are not great and they need to do something about it. Fans will be here long after the man child has ejected his pacifier

I thought we played better when down to ten, bringing on the first teamers as well.

[Ironawe]

Probably a slight overreaction to what was a troubling performance by the mostly second string side. Can’t imagine many wanting Butler’s head for it but would be nice to hit some form going into the playoffs rather than being slightly lickspittle over how we should be grateful to even be in this position.

Really is nothing fake about the frustration. Incoherent play for first 45 minutes, like NI had no idea Smith was on pitch for first 30 minutes (playing central?!). We’re playing ourselves out of form with performances like this.

[Ironawe]

1 win in last 7 home games is a worry, need to find our winning ways if we have a home tie in playoffs. Would still prefer if we were away.

How Hartlepool missed that sitter at the end is a mystery

[Ironawe]

Did the solar panels ever get installed? Prime location and would generate free power and a revenue for the feed in tariff. Not much I know but would be a nice off season boost to the coffers.

[Ironawe]

If Dave was still around I think it highly likely the club would not be.
He was a convicted criminal who left us near the brink of extinction. People of his ilk should be nowhere near any community asset.

Whilst the loss isn’t great I think it’s clear they are on the right path and with legacy issues being put to bed in the future I think the club have done extremely well to get to this position.

Howe is back I think so Butler will hopefully deploy a plan B 4-4-2

Leo has gone back so we’re now short up front unless we can do some late business

[Ironawe]

I think a new back line is needed. We can’t stop conceding and defensively we just aren’t up to scratch. I rated Belahoun when he played right back but Butler must see something that worries him because he can’t get a game.

My only concern with Westbrooke at the minute is the volume of poor or misplaced passing. Just needs to tighten up a bit, aside from that would be a solid league two squad player

[Ironawe]

Jones would be good as number two learning off experienced keeper which should be a priority followed by centre backs and creative midfielder

As stated there is little difference in lower league two to mid to upper table National League. I doubt we will struggle in league two – as most clubs don’t having gone up. We are currently doing well in attracting supporters through the gates, need to build on this impetus – not wanting to go up would be counter intuitive to professional sport, rotten to the core.

Increased away gates and an average home crowd of 5k plus are achievable which will help a sustainable model, two ties against Grimsby should be all the motivation we need! (Unless they go up, they’re a bit hot and cold atm). Let’s face it our entire back line needs an overhaul whatever league we’re in anyway

First goal vital, let’s start on front foot, no lethargy of recent matches. Interesting that AB tried 4-4-2 unfortunately didn’t come off but can’t blame him for trying – might work with Howe playing off one of Farrel/Whitehall as a plan B later in season

Not many if any deserve a contract. Boyce is getting worse by the day, surely time to hang up his boots

I hope that’s sarcasm Les,
We look dreadful at the back again.
