Tyler Denton was also a KL player i believe.

Im also going for a score draw .. 2-2

Fitz half volley pass to Whitehall in the build up to the Butterfield goal was excellent… on the reverse side we have seen the odd dropped bollock involving Fitz n Evans if i recall correctly, cant see Chappo getting a sniff of a start anytime soon unless Fitz gets injured.

scrub that … Roberts name has just been added to the subs bench in place of Elliot

Surprisingly no Roberts in the matchday squad Barrows in for Ogle .. Kouogun on the bench as is Elliot

Aye i recall the ground was a tad rough and a mud bath of a pitch made a proper mess of my trainers n jeans that day….still sad to see any football club go.

Off the radar recently as been on a rural Isan expedition to buy a rubber plantation and suffice to say …..WOW been a lot going on whilst ive been away , seems SUFC playing well and scoring plenty of goals since the last game i recall was the terrible Chester away fixture.
I noticed players going out on loan but without trawling through numerous threads can someone gimme an update how things are off the pitch re GP and directors etc… i trust Mr Hilton has returned all the season ticket , sponsorship and 1899/100 club loot.

Back in the metropolis so as for tomorrow hoping for another home win and a big attendance though this is a possible banana skin as previously mentioned.

3-2 Scunny win

Reading the whose gonna be the next Cods manager thread is hilarious … a short list of about 30 and some names being thrown up including

Graham Alexander (Really)
Keith Hill 55555555 (classic cod humour i hope)
Jimmy Dean (not on your Nelly)
That leaves
Ronald Mcdonald …great choice !!!

The thought hasnt crossed their minds even with a free house on the Nunsthorpe estate chucked in as a sweetner enticing someone to move to Grimsby is the first hurdle its a shithole.

Mr Stockwoods interview after Hurst sacking … seems like a real nice bloke and spoke very well in a difficult situation.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0gpdn0h

When i managed to find the commentary it was OK … this guy Penberthy (i think) and Torps did a good job giving the listener a good idea of the area of the pitch the passage of play was in ..must say way better that Wishart who should be never allowed near a football commentary mic ever again.

[ironfromafar]

Fantastic performance and result yesterday well done to all at SUFC .. sounded like a great atmos.

[ironfromafar]

Cant remember where i read it but a guy on SM had the idea of when possible moving away fans to the side seating and giving the whole of the away end to schools and organizations similar to the community days, gets kids and possibly mums n dads plus those who would not attend interested and extra revenue from sales in the shop and FnB.

[ironfromafar]

Not a surprise after reading the fishy forum over the last week .. i was hoping Hurst would stay a bit longer to cause further the relegation hole to get deeper.

Anyway far to many issues at SUFC …so as for the Cods situation.

TJO seems like other clubs are already sniffing about ..York being openly mentioned as approaching players /agents and with Neil “has to be braver” Cox there should not be a surprise to anyone.

DSF out on loan already by the sound of things and can see other fringe players departing , i just hope the club can keep the first team together as will give us an excellent chance of promotion.

[ironfromafar]

just seen on the club website the latest statement from the board has been released .. positive news on GP but also 1.2 mil immediate debts …wow

Also on the fans fb page chit chat stemming from an interview on HR by Jimmy Dean that DSF has gone on loan to Peterboro Sports and also York city have been in for a player as yet not sure who and what deal ..Bennett has been mentioned ????

Im sure it will be confirmed at some point today.

[ironfromafar]

Be interesting this one as for whatever reason in the past Scunny have more than often slipped up against sides at the bottom and seemingly struggling…

i think this will be tighter closer game than most expect even after the Spennymoor goal fest ..

3-2 Scunny
Att 3,899

[ironfromafar]

MK .. i would add Ogle and Kelly to your list

[ironfromafar]

Now Clunan and Law are back and if the likes of Beestin Kouogun and Roberts return from injury and especially Roberts stay fit for a lengthy spell i think it will most certainly change the course of the season (avoiding needless suspensions also helps) …more so i hope non of the first team regulars leave as mentioned by Chris Plummer on the club website ..be a real shame.

The ground should have been called this in the first place, when we moved.

Totally agree

Suspect given the dire financial position they will be looking at selling naming rights for the ground.
Think this new community interest company being set up is another example of how hard Michelle and co are working to save the club.

Suppose the naming rights could still be sold whilst incorporating the name … for example insert name of the buyer/sponsor paying for the rights.

THE NEW ********* SHOWGROUND
or
THE ********* NEW SHOWGROUND

Must admit im not fussed so long as a deal is done and we stay there

A bit of down time so caught up on the Fishy forum chit chat … didnt realize they had been playing quite so badly and it seems many are calling for Hurst to be filleted and tossed in the scrap bin for fish fingers.. lost 3-2 at home to lowly Colchester last night and the knives are out and being sharpened.
After all the pre season optimism all is not well with our fishy friends up the M180..

Maybe sooner than anyone thought

[ironfromafar]

Well that was a shock !! … every time ive stayed up to listen to the game weve lost so was getting to thinking im a jinx …so… due to the time difference (currently KO 01-45 am here after this weekend 02-45 am) and my current workload i skipped it last night and we play brilliantly and bosh six in, suffice to say jinx or coincidence i will just be listening to the Saturday games from now on.

Lets hope this can act as a spring board for more of the same and get a run going as Tamworth dont seem to be slipping up.

WGs every time you mention HMS PTL it goes tits up so whilst i agree its making a huge difference injured key players returning im still not jumping on board your boat for the ride …love your optimism though.

A very laid back Danny Whitehall ..IMO one who needs to put a proper shift in tonight now Elliot is out

Well the Darlo win was a Tuesday night Cass, let’s see how we get on tomorrow, could be an interesting pointer to the remainder of the season.

Yep next two home games are massive to how the rest of the season will pan out.

Carver was on fire at Southport for a spell but dropped off recently…cant recall exactly when but i do recall him stating he didnt want to play for Scunny again.

As for the current first team squad IMO Whitehall looks very disinterested and just going through the motions which isnt good with Elliot possibly out injured and YES Bennett wins headers and runs a lot but couldnt hit a pigs arse with a shovel when it comes to finishing.

Being out played out fought by teams who set up defensively against us, we give a soft goal away and then we cant break them down A LA Buxton TWICE.

Hoping Butterfield stays fit and some of the injured return esp Clunan Beestin Kouogun and Roberts (just how long the latter will remain fit is guesswork)

i have a feeling that the team are slipping up right now, and according to some reports, a few players are not puuting a lot of effort into their performances.
So although the team tend to play better in home games (apart from the Buxton match), I am going for a forcast of:-
SCUNTHORPE 0 SPENNYMOOR 2.

3,743 ATTENDANCE Reflected by the poor showing on Saturday.

These two home matches this week could well be a big pointer on what chances they have on getting out of this League, six points and a lot more fight from some players would be welcome to our long suffering fans.

Agree with most of that , be interested to know the players that appear to have lost the will to fight seen a few comments relating to this lack of effort by some.. yes lots still going on off the field but being professionals shouldnt be the case. Possibly some had other clubs lined up if the club had breached the 14 day salary non payment (which they didnt as i believe everyone was paid) leading some to loose interest possibly.

As for a prediction … praying for a home win ..alas
1-1
Att 3,334

The easiest way to pack the park is by winning games n playing free flowing attacking football .. something we just arent seeing at the moment and havent for a few weeks since Scarboro at home which coincides with both the worst of the injuries and the extra DH turmoil re outing by the Athletic salaries and the ground court case.

in truth weve been playing crap for weeks ..only really the Darlington and Scarboro games did we click… we werent great in the 1-0 win over Brackley to be honest twas only Butters goal that saved the day.

Off field goings on more than likely could have effected the players ,JD away for his op even terrible clueless refs may be factors but should not used as excuses for a dross performance like Chester.
The only valid excuse are the injuries to Clunan Beestin etc which have made a huge difference.
No doubt this squad is more than capable at this level but its so easy for teams to set up against us , we cannot break a good defensive side down and lack any cutting edge in front of goal , creating real goal scoring chances just isnt happening and if things dont change its mid table obscurity this season followed by players out of contract and another year of NLN to follow.

All these guys are professionals but there seems to be a lack of confidence,pride n fight in a few.

Next 2 games are crucial , 3 away games on the bounce after that !!

Not too long ago we were cutting teams to shreds with Whitehall on fire but as mentioned with Clunan and Beestin out we have laboured. Clunan kept the ball moving quick in midfield and Beestin has that bit of quality to knit things together further up.

I don’t think the formation worked today at all, I thought we were far too conservative. I do however think we need to shed a few players and draft another striker if possible as Whitehall and Elliot aren’t enough.

Elliot’s injury didn’t help today either. Clunan and Beestin will help no end, I did mention we most missed Clunan weeks ago and a certain few thought I was mad but he was the one that took control and kept the ball moving.

Those two can’t come back soon enough !

On to todays formation change, I personally just didn’t get it. Why not keep with what we were playing ?

I thought we showed them for too much respect !

WGs … MAYDAY MAYDAY HMS piss the league is in distress emergency assistance requested.

Agree with all youve posted .. Clunan a massive miss in midfield also back 4 dont look as solid with Kuougun missing, we dont have enough fore power up front like a ratty goal poacher who can finish a la Sharp Hooper etc.

Next two fixtures are huge and max points a must.
