A very strong squad and selection headache for JD with a fully fit circa 20 to choose from and this fixture purely depends on how he decides to tactically to address it.
i would like to see 442 and go for it from the KO as im sure Hereford will come to attack as they need points to get into the play offs

Fitz (obviously no one else)
Ogle Kouogun (Boyce or Evans??) Denton
Butterfield Scales Roberts Corbett
Whitehall Elliot

Bench DSF, MacAlinden (Boyce or Evans,Kelly Pugh.

If we attack play with pace and i can see us winning by 2 … 3-1
If its the slow sideways style .. 0-0 or 1-1

Final prediction is a tight 2-1 win for Scunny
Att 3,956

[ironfromafar]

Fitz
Ogle Evans Kouogun Kelly
Butterfield Scales Corbett Roberts
Whall Elliot

Just dont get JDs thought process… who everchooses n decides who comes in it seems rather strange…

Corbett looked excellent at SMT si ce cannit get a sniff
Clarke ??
Macalinden ??
Youmbi .. best not even go there
now this Leesley fella

Hiw many same position player do we beed not to play them ..

I reca.it took a fair while fir Connor Smith ti get in the side as well.

I thought Jds starting line up yestrtday was an Aprils fools joke with no Butterfield or Corbett.. i said as much on tha fans group FB but all you get is this 4 games in 9 dsys bullshit…its obviously JD doesnt know his best stsrting 11

The 89th winner in no way clouds my opinion as to just how crap weve been against KLT n noe Southport.. playoff win is pie in the sky on these performance levels

Having a day at the beach to cool down its 40 degrees here so an early prediction.

JD pre match interview will include ” its a tough game”

Not sure re Southports attacking options with Carver n Bennett both not playing expect another defensive set up to counter attack… FEELING THEY WILL NICK A GOAL…that said so will we for a score prediction of 1-1..

(hopefully we knock 2 in for a 2-1 Scunny win)

Sadly im not confident about gaining promotion via the playoffs especially as it now looks like we will more than likely not retain second spot.
I predict us getting 7 or 8 points max from our remaining fixtures which could see us in third or even drop to fourth depending how Brackley get on.

I base my lack of optimism on ..

Being very inconsistent
Always fail to turn up for big games
Terrible in front of goal failure to take our chances
Teams know how to set up against us as seen numerous times throughout the season.
Seems no plan B when things need changing in game
Does JD even know his strongest line up ?

I still feel there is some thing not quite right in the back ground … possibly some know they wont be here next season .. anybodys guess.
Read one comment on another platform where a fan is saying there is only one footballing brain at the club n thats Jacob Butterfield .. going on results etc since the NY whose to argue JB is one player the club must try to keep which ever league we are playing in next season.

Best player last game or two was Corbett – no look in today.

Mind boggling Corbett didnt figure .. and Scales should have been on from the start .

JD starting 11 was a terrible mix … i get 4 games in 9 days but the players that played so well at SMT should have started then subbed as the game progressed yesterday.

Very poor performance all round and honestly playing that that at home wont cut the mustard in the play offs .. Chorley moving in for second and us sucked into the general play off melee more likely.

Great attendance going home feeling let down …AGAIN.

Re York … if we dont go up could find ourselves in NLN with them next season and they may possibly be well backed financially where as we will not.

Im guessing all current NLN clubs would want us to stay down .. possibly weaker next season but still well supported which means added income for them ..OH plus the glamour of playing the once great mighty Iron OBVIOUSLY

Not an easy one to call this but im going for a score draw .. 1-1 or 2-2 , KL on a good run and too many sides as well as raise their game when playing us also have our measure… obviously i hope im wrong and we thump them 3-4 nowt.

Happy Easter one n all ..just had a delivery of hot cross buns ready for tomorrow ..

[ironfromafar]

im guessing many have enjoyed the extra income traveling Iron fans have generated this season ..
im sure Alex Cheshire Cheese landlord will be torn between promotion and being promoted..

There are of course numerous reasons why we must get out of this nasty league .. York City is one and my piss is still boiling from the ref at SPMT .. in truth just one of very very poor referees throughout the season this Taylor guy has to take the prize for worst decision ive seen.

Playing better which is obviously good but the play offs are a lottery and Scunny are consistent at not turning up for the big games so they do worry me.

Not that i partake but do get feed back from my daughter and shes offered mixed reviews on the food on matchdays but raved about the Sunday carvery
One has to assume TSG interest may wain and catering for the remaining home games may be some what iffy ..some stuff not available and using up stock before departing…after being installed by Hilton was always going to be the possibility of a one off season for TSG just hope for fans sake a decent alternate comes in.
As for Mr Stamp who can now stop the SUFC burger flipping (and listening at the board room door 555) has supported the club in many ways during his tensure so good luck to him in Burringham , i was a barman at the then Ferryboat Inn at just 18 yrs old a long time ago !!…great memories.

JD just has to go for it .. hopefully more options going forward with Corbett on from the start n Roberts off the bench ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ..could be a few goals in this one just hope Scunny score one more than SPM…IMO IF can win tonight its down to 8 points and Tamworth may get the jitters .. anything other than a win and its done n dusted, just our luck to be meeting SPM in a dodgy called rearranged fixture when they are on a unbeaten run with a couple of their best players now available…pleased that young loanee lad Shrimpton cant play hopefully be a big miss for them.

If its not called off AGAIN
Prediction is 3-2 (either way)

[ironfromafar]

If i recall correctly Warrington were a half decent strong physical side and a tad unfortunate to loose at GP earlier in the season so im sticking with my 1-1

If you are out on loan at this key stage of the season… then I’d guess you ain’t in the managers retention thought process?

Quite possibly true for ..
Carver .. agree should be gone
Bennett ..agree should never have been re signed
Barrows ..dont agree want him back at Scunny ASAP.
Wilson ..Jury still out for me let him go elsewhere.
* Poulter and Robertson .. not seen enough to comment

Im guessing Shrimpton my be the one currently out on loan who will figure in JDs plans for next season AND SO HE SHOULD ..if JD has a next season at Scunny obviously…

* IMO regardless of the outcome this season if i were a betting man i would put a few bob on JD still being manager next season just get the feeling the board will stick with him ..all be it with a very different group of players to work with .

Correct and lets not forget it is actually on the national football teams shirt not apparel designed for the Chelsea flower show. … not sure i could ever see other nations messing about with their countries flag.

I recall an Aussie fella here getting chucked in jail for standing on a Thai flag and more recently a Thai bank manager being demoted as the flag on the back was dirty and wind damaged..

Boycott Nike and this shirt ..easy

4 games in 9 days should not be a problem for a super fit FULL TIME correctly rotated team and tactically astute manager ….should it ??

And what does that have to do with us?

My comment was tongue in cheek as is yours Ironx3 ..

It is however times like this 4 games in 9 days that the players out on loan ie Barrows, Shrimpton n even Wilson may have been utilized especially with Evans ban and current walking wounded.. hopefully no more crocked or banned in the next couple of games or could leave us very light for the last few games of the season and even the playoffs.

[ironfromafar]

This has got a draw written all over it…

[ironfromafar]

4 games in 9 days should not be a problem for a super fit FULL TIME correctly rotated team and tactically astute manager ….should it ??

[ironfromafar]

Not that it effects me but in discussion with my daughter whom it does i thought the ST pricing was excellent regardless if in NLN or hopefully NL next season especially the Britcon terrace which would be my choice.

[ironfromafar]

Barrows
Shrimpton
Wilson
never really got a look in never mind a run of games as i thought the first two were and are worthy of it , Wilson has always looked somewhat uninterested when given any chance to impact a game off the bench and did want away end of last season until the takeover etc…so wasnt surprised at him going out on loan… Ross n Finn i was.

Hopefully these players will all do well whilst away and come back better that appears to have been the case with Pugh and DSF.

Nobody was talking about him last week, or for the last 5 years or so.

He was not a good manager @ Scunny. He has done very well at Coventry. These things happen.

100% bob on.. i thought Robins was poor at Scunny that said was appointed by and working with a nail in his boot in Swan n Co and it appears he has /is doing a great job at Coventry obviously under different circumstances and budget so credit where its due on that score.
i much preferred Alexander.

yes a change in the style of play has been noted …alas i dont think you can really take anything going forward from the last 2 fixtures both against such poor teams … i doubt we will get it so easy Saturday and in any of the other remaining games til the end of the season ..

Lets get back to this circa 5pm Saturday and hope we are celebrating another good direct attacking performance n 3 points.

Same here DM …unlike on the fans facebook page at least here one can post this without being targeted and tagged a non believer and have a month off.

Here was me thinking its a free country alas it seems remotely negative common sense opinions and comments are frowned upon especially by Mr “go Jerry go ” Mahoney.

Im busy next coupla days ..so an early prediction for Spennymoor is a totally different from BS and going for a score draw.

[ironfromafar]

Players best turn up Tuesday at Spennymoor to save his arse again hadnt they ? ..

[ironfromafar]

hey its just nice waking up and having something positive to take in like an away win and bonus a good attacking performance.. HOWEVER lets not get too giddy as i suspect my grans WI group could turn up n give BS a decent game at the moment apparently Gladys is on fire up front last few outings.

Yesterday will hopefully instill some much need confidence in all involved.

Whilst i find myself liking JD for his down to earth manner and the fact he does seem to have a real desire n love for the club im never overly enthused by his interviews .. pressure eased again but with Spennymoor on toppa the current form table Tuesday will be a whole different task from BS.

Its all about consistency .. consistently giving 100% along with the right line up n tactics.
