Of course I forgot about Dean’s contract ending. There’ll be a shedloads of work to be done in close season. I don’t expect Dean should be part of that.

Not so sure IA .. im predicting if Scunny dont get promoted either auto or loosing in the playoffs JD might be offered another 1 year deal by the board .. getting into the playoffs during such turbulent times may be seen as some sort of success also Dean may be the cheaper option rather than actually finding a new gaffa ..and of course he knows this level inside out.

Can see most of this squad leaving come the summer regardless if we go up or stay down. Its afact if it is the NL next season playing as we are currently it will be sort lived getting mullered every week and low attendances.
Too many Iron fans think we are better than waht we actually are ..which at the moment for whatever reason is pretty dire and im still of the opinion some thing behind the scenes is causing the dip in form and player confidence as they look shit scared every time they take to the pitch.

Another score draw it is then .. 1-1 or maybe even 2-2
Att 3333

[ironfromafar]

Next 5 fixtures , Curz , Sboro, SS , Alfy and Chester .. what do members think the points tally will be out of the max 15 ..??
Not wishing to be doom n gloom merchant but im thinking 9 max

Sadly i got the score draw prediction cock on … from reports sounds like it was another strange below par performance (except from JD who thought it was a perfect away one) .. ruined by another crap ref who it sounds like was totally clueless and needs to go to specsavers.

To concede as we did is shameful and will surely cost us come the end of the season ..Blyth were terrible by all accounts yet still couldnt beat them which doesnt bode well for the rest of the season.

[ironfromafar]

Not that i partake in the SG offerings at GP but after all the seemingly positive posts especially gushing reports re the Sunday Carvery and apple crumble surely it would be a step back if they dont carry on.

Suppose it all the depends on contractual elements that have to work for all parties involved.

Danny Stamp has stated FNB at SUFC would not be effected by his latest business venture in Burringham.

[ironfromafar]

Agree … Clunan has been terrible since injury and the new baby arrived… but its not only him several others have dipped in ability n form.

Did i hear JD say Butterfield is doubtful due to illness ??

Blyth Prediction score draw .. 1-1 or 2-2

[ironfromafar]

Rene ..dont have to be inspector Clooso to see your posts makes valid points .. glaring example Buxton being a bang average side who have done us twice this season purely on as you say playing out their skins… alas such is the change in performance level i just feel some thing is wrong what fans are not privvy too ..could be within playing set up or behind the scenes at the club , i have noticed the players seem less jovial , less smiles ..i hope im wrong and whatever is going on is rectified ASAP.

The town isn’t loving this team?

Except for the exceptionally bad times of repeated relegation (Cox Hill) there has always been a hardcore of circa 3k fans who turn up rain snow or blow with another 1500 to 2k floaters who will attend when the team is doing well and playing good attractive football (good memory needed) .. the fact the ownership appears stable and ground is safe plus better food etc it proves fans will turn out to support the club when decent football is being played . No one wants to watch a loosing team and go home depressed its human nature.

Re Blyth Tuesday… Play anything like the first half against RO and it will be literally a pointless trip.

Similar to you Rene after watching JDs rather sombre uninspiring pre match chat with James Moody .. something has /is going wrong and needs sorting out , the players seem to have lost interest are they questioning the managements tactic s ? not easy to predict but ..

Head n heart will take a tight nervy Iron 2-1 win
However my gut feeling is a 1-1 draw
Att just under 4k

Hope the Iron can up their game Tuesday … IMO a performance akin to Boston Brackley or PS simply wont cut the mustard.

Im sticking with my earlier prediction of a draw for this one ..

Att difficult to predict as will be way less than the postponed Saturday timing..
circa 4000 im guessing.

<strong class=”d4pbbc-bold”>Let’s be honest the squad is a great squad of players for this level but we lack any real depth.

So… it’s not a great squad.

Ive never been convinced this squad is all its cracked up to be,play well in fits n starts but not a lot of consistency in anyone single game let alone stringing a winning run of multiple fixtures together.

DSF surely got to be recalled now.

[ironfromafar]

Listening to the commentary it sounded like a pretty dire affair … PS offered very little goal threat especially after the big fella up front went off… Fitz was playing silly buggar on a couple of occasions but the whole day was about Roberts , thankful he scored but then sounds like a nasty injury.

On current form Tuesdays Tamworth showdown is gonna be hard and im still predicting a nailed on draw.

[ironfromafar]

Pleased hear Butterfield is back ..Law still injured and Whitehall at home changing nappies. PS are on a good run of form .. for Scunny a must win game as they all are now .. so

My prediction.. a tight n nervy 3-2 Iron win

I cant recall when Scunny last brought their A game for both halves (a full 90 mins) IA .. so many times they have been excellent in one half poor in the other… all of a sudden as well as the obvious Tamworth clash the imminent Scarboro and Chester fixtures are huge.

[ironfromafar]

Rumours Tamworth are loosing Jelis and two more players may derail there excellent run .. HOPE SO

They were very poor against Boston by all accounts and Boston missed two one on ones late in the game to take all 3 points …. it is concerning how the chasing pack inc Brackley , Scarboro, Alfreton n Chester are in stealth mode all of a sudden right on us .. games in hand are not guaranteed points in the bag.

Is the club condoning this utterly embarrassing begging?
Please tell me they aren’t!

Stus latest Klopp vid really is tongue up arse material embarrassing this begging format needs to be reigned in.

Scunny fan legend Stu has gone you tube crazy .. making more vids than Mia Khalifa at the moment.

[ironfromafar]

Atough away game tonight and looks like gonna be in pretty crappy weather … just listened to JD pre match interview and no Whitehall Butterfield or Law for the game.

Prediction .. i wish i could be more hopeful / positive but Darlo got another new manager and seems we are back in the nak of giving away soft goals

so …

Head says 2-0 Darlo
Heart 2-1 Scunny

Ive jumped on for the ride but there comes a point when this constant multi pronged begging all be it well meant starts to get a tad embarassing and smacks of taking the piss… im sure it will drift away like a fart in a taxi given time.

Gotta love Stuarts heart and spunk for even doing it and also taking the fight to the FA gods.

I fancy a few Changs , steak lunch and happy ending soapy massage this weekend dont suppose any of you guess fancy chipping in ???

Apologies if this has been posted already.

Decent read and includes a few titbits people may not have been aware of and that do still effect the clubs current situation daily.

I’m going to make an early prediction:

1-3 with no Butterfield.

Winning goal to come in the 82nd minute.

Elliott for us.
Finn & Jellis for them.

Att: 5,177

My money thief doesn’t have any odds for next Saturday’s NL games up yet.
Be interesting to see their ‘thoughts’
1-1 will no doubt be the shortest correct score-cast price.

Can you be more precise Rene ..

The colour of Gareth Ironarmys G String perhaps or how many pints drank in the iron Bar ??

Although im being bias my prediction remains a draw

hope says 1-0 scunny
heart says 1-1
head says 0-2 Tams
