Might listen to that if we get Jed Clampett or Carson Wishbone.

Yes depending who RH have on the mic today i was also thinking the same Cass..Def switch to Chester coverage if its Wi-shart , i like Torps but IMO hes not the greatest as Co commentator as well as he sometimes drops into Leonard Rossiter Rigsby mode .

A huge worry for me IFA. I’ve lost count of the number of times an Iron team has frozen at home when there’s a big crowd there that the club need to come again.

Yes .. Cass frozen or dont give a shite we wait n see .. IMO whether win loose or draw if these so called professional footballers cant raise their game n perform with this sort of backing its time to quit .,. regardless the result tomorrow we will find out a lot about the players desire n winning mentality..

[ironfromafar]

im also going for 2-1 Rene just cant decide who to.
Bearing mind recent updates on the grass roots and offers plus Chester bringing 1000 ….
Att circa 6,500

My worry still remains that when ever theres a bumper crowd n atmos at GP for whatever reason the players dont perform… various rumours some arent bothered cos wont be here next season if they cant get up for a game such as this how professional are they.. we may learn a lot about a few attitudes tomorrow.
Oh yeah hope we are due a good ref as recently they all been total gash culminating with the fella in charge for Alfreton who was an absolute joke.

Both Torquay and Rochdale will survive.
Talk of poaching their players is a waste of time.
4 or 5 months ago you would’ve moaned if supporters of other clubs were discussing poaching our players.

Totally agree.. i hope both survive , i think they will…

im going some where around the 5500 mark, HOWEVER TWOOD BE NICE TO GET TO 6k

[ironfromafar]

Just seen Alfreton manager Heath YT vid summing up the game .. this fella needs a reality check he is deluded ..gushing how magnificent n fantastic they played whilst obviously forgetting the time wasting tactis from.the first whistle n ther keeper faining injury every time the Iron vit up a head if steam .. hiw sweet was that 95th minute winner in time added for time wasting ..

[ironfromafar]

nothing is a given in this god forsaken league IA .. i hope your positivity comes to fruition alas if we dont beat Chester on SUPER CROWD DAY… IMO its the playoffs

Between me n You there are some Iron fans who still think we can catch n overturn Tamworth .. i want some of what theyve been supping

Elliot can’t play that role Dean is trying to get him to do. He’s far too weak to hold up play and his first touch is awful.
Worst 45 mins of season, Dean probably saved for another game by Evans.

Can see JD getting the push whatever the rest of the season brings our way .. the board will let him see out his contract and take it from there …

Whats the forums members opinion upon the unlikely event of promotion rather worryingly will he / should he offered a new or extended contract.

Without doubt the late winner to beat a nasty Alfreton side was deserved on the second half performance and has eased pressure on JD and the board.

Football and its fans are so fickle situations can change in such a short space of time and this result may not only put the pressure on Tamworth but act as a much needed confidence boost ..so long as we dont loose to Chester next week.

Agreed but much better second half and a deserved late win courtesy of Will Evans massive header. Ref was truly appalling but it’s nice to see a team that comes to spoil, roughhouse and feign injury to waste time get beat late on, makes it seem all a lot sweeter. UTI

Much better second half and well chuffed Alfreton time wasting especially by their keeper came back to bite them on the bum.. Terrible to listen to and the ref sounded the worst so far this season with some really strange decisions even for this level.

MASSIVE WIN and hopefully can act as a confidence boost n spring board for a winning run.

With the way things are going one day there won’t be any RH commentary…who you gunna moan at then? Be thankful we get coverage.

IMO thats MY opinion if a business /company offer an advertised service and it isnt of good quality i reserve the right to comment even if it sounds like moaning so what ..

HR commentary for the most part is pretty crap with a couple of sub standard commentators all to often battling Tech issues dropping out to Grimsby or Hull .. they cant even start the broadcast early enough for the kick off let alone team news n starting line ups.even though its stated the service commences at 2-55 pm / 9-55 pm in my location…

So why in the future is is likely there will not be HR coverage ?

[ironfromafar]

HR radio service and commentary is total bollocks .. dont know the guys name sat with Torps but hes is terrible… nearly as bad as Wishart.

[ironfromafar]

well that was an absolute crap first half.

If half the team were following JD’s “plan” and the rest were doing their own thing because they “know better” that could explain what we’re seeing.

I strongly suspect thats exactly what is going on Cass … this massive down turn in form cannot be tagged as simply bad form or luck there is some thing badly wrong at SUFC at the mo which is a real shame after the huge amount of hard work done by all concerned… you could probably have a fair idea of the possible unprofessional ,lazy rotten apple shit stirrers but whats the point its all turned to dog poo and the damage has n is still being done on the pitch.

Alfreton today and then Chester will be a litmus test for the players attitude on home soil .. hoping they can surprise me and get a result but its doubtful with all the BS going off behind the scenes.

Losse the next 2 at home and i still dont think JD will be sacked .. just drift to season and contract end and say byebye to him n Plummer (the latter ive always been not quite sure what he brings to the table in the first place)

It isn’t losses that are the problem. It is the nature of it. Fight for everything and lose then you gave it all, but if you see players not 100% then gates will fall.

Thats hitting the nail on the head .. no one likes to follow a loosing team but the fact it appears some of the players dont care and offer little fight and pride in their chosen profession most certainly riles fan as they are not going to spend hard earned cash on such a wasted exercise.

After a brief spell of positivity early season on the field and getting GP sorted the roller coaster ride at SUFC trunddles on !! and after all the hard work by Michelle and co its sad its going so badly wrong on the pitch now. Im sure some issue will come to light as to just why the players arent playing for JD …time will tell.

early prediction.
Its clear under whatever circumstances JD has lost the dressing room and some appear just not to give a toss..

Scunny 1 Alfreton 3
Att sub 3k and a tense toxic atmos.

Cant see you getting more than a single point from the next two fixtures (Alf n Chester) which will pile the pressure on JD and the board to act.

[ironfromafar]

cant see JD getting sacked ..more likely we will just drift on and scrap into the play offs loose and thus so another year in this nasty league , his contract will not be renewed as his remit was promotion and im predicting that wont happen this season.

If we don’t go up this season it will be catastrophic, the board need to see it.

Will it?

There’s hardly a pot of gold in the national league, no extra tv money and the away attendances will marginally increase

It will be a complete failure to not achieve promotion with this squad, however with the budget due to be slashed I certainly don’t see the desperate need for promotion in terms of the club’s sustainability.

IF IF we are lucky enough to scramle into the NL next season i suspect without a big spend on recruitment as the cods are doing in L2 scunny will get battered everywhere they go !!

Dean should see his contract out til the end of the season and if not promoted resign or the board should not offer him a new contract ..simple as that really.

[ironfromafar]

Poulter should be playing for Scunny taking Whitehalls place as at least he is keen energetic willing and 100% interested , where as Whitehall for what ever reason obviously is not.

Does it matter ???????????????

On current form at least half the teams in this terrible league are better than us .. HMS piss the league once full steam ahead then floudering on the rocks and now is a ship wreck with our players failing miserably in front of goal and more worryingly some looking totally disinterested.

Im firmly in the not fussed camp as the way things are panning out more or less resigned to another season in NLN.. Tamworth are pretty much odds on for the title and regardless where we finish in the play off spots i just cant see us raising a decent performance to beat the likes of an in form Chester , Brackley etc etc..

Oh by the way lets wear the green third kit away from home now had zero luck in the nasty white apparel to date.

Week in week out HR is total gash … tho i must admit listening to John Tondeur bemoaning the Cods getting another tonking 5-1 at home perked me up ..even if it was Donny that administered the whipping .. The NOT SO Mighty Mariners are in real trouble in L2 , playing awful and a plethora of very salty comments on the Fishy are well worth a read.

Yes i agree .. we are now so consistently inconsistent predicting results has become rather inconsistent.

Forget catching Tamworth , ifact if we do overall them i will have my gonads removed without anesthetic and change my name to Dorathy

Re SS AWAY .. anything else than a win n we are gonna get dragged into the play off scramble so im going for a draw AGAIN.

[ironfromafar]

SS had 2 players sent off as well so they may have bans ?? .. on any given day any side can beat anyone in this nasty rag tag n bobtail league so dont be surprised if its another draw Tuesday.
