    Im sure the super manager formerly known as Cox thinks they have to be brave ..braver..braverer

    I cant see where a Scunny goal will come from just clinging on for a lucky pen or an OG i suppose ..but sticking with my prediction 1-1 and circa 4000 attendance (how many tickets have the Latics sold ???)

    Only 2 home games left so hoping for a decent turn out and they get behind the team Hilts and management.. will we see a bit of player pride passion and effort or another total lazy let down for JD , Hilts and the many loyal fans

    Hey WGs you just trying to cheer us all up with statistics like that .. ive been keeping an eye on Peterboro Sports and they are winning more often than not.
    As i commented on another thread if JD cant get results and things dont go well im sure Hilts bin him sooner rather than later.
    We may well be 20 points clear at the top of the NLN table this time next year !! .. sorry ive been on the local moonshine again.

    Chappo n Elliot both fine to stay IMO .. as for the rest if i was pressed to say 3 more to stay on merit or ability Shrimpton , Butters possibly Ogle and Wilson (if his attitude isnt in question as it appeared at Gateshead)

    If that happens and we keep any more than 6 from the current squad it will be a tough season , i would much rather see a bargain basement clearance sale and a total rebuild of biblical proportions, and im sure JD would welcome any divine help from above if forthcoming.

    Don’t think DH will be ordering JD a taxi anytime soon guys, guess you’ll just have to keep on sulking like spoilt children.

    Yeah been made pretty clear by Hilts JD will be here to stay and given his chance with a new bunch of players in NLN but also made clear he must get results or that taxi will be booked .. fair play JD should be given his chance not crucified on his efforts so far however poor its been tactically or otherwise as being given a melting pot of rash signings most on loan in a gamble that simply has back fired very badly… whose gamble strategy was it ? either way thats history and focus must be on the future starting now ..or more so when the season is finally over and the swamp has been emptied.

    As commented on Gareths Ironarmy YT vlog .. new venues to visit , local footy pies n beer to look forward too ..lets just hope the football is an improvement on the last few seasons and the Iron are not in another seemingly annual relegation battle.

    Any body who can’t be arsed sub them,if there any more left on at that stage just bring them off one at a time till we have the minimum allowed to finish the game.

    I like that idea would actually send a message,.. but prob end up with JD getting some right stick….even more than normal !!

    Since the first half at York its been a diabolical shambles.. from what ive heard live and and witnessed via vids too many of this current bunch have totally given up , no pride or professional football player mentality , walking n jogging around waiting for the season to end , must be very frustrating for all concerned club staff and management etc let alone the owner n fans.

    Not that it makes a great deal of difference but any predictions for the Oldham game ..

    score and attendance (not sure how many away will be there)

    1-1 lord knows who will score for us but Nuttall to net for the Latics

    4,000 give or take 100 either side of that.

    Huge fixture .. any result wont change the course of my life but if i had to choose i would go for Notts C win as it appears as commented by many they are the best footballing side in the NL ..plus Mullin diving n playing for penalties etc chaffed my groin…saying that Wrexham fans have been very sympathetic to Scunnys plight as have the Notts fans ..hope its a belter of a game and may the best team on the day win !!

    It is a total sacre bleu clusterfook moment that one of these clubs will have to end up in the play offs with both currently being 36 ,,yes 36 points ahead of 7th placed play off club (embarassingly thats 2 more than Scunnys season total ) and dominating the league from the first ball being kicked ..

    O’Malley has been in good form for Alfreton. I wouldn’t be against recalling him and giving him another contract and replace Daniel. We would have to play him either as a winger or a wing back though as he’s a bit dodgy defensively as we all know.

    wg … I think you meant the promised land …ILKESTON not Alfreton ?

    either way Chappo n Elliot stay ok … as for the rest it would be madness to keep anyof them so they can all get on the night boat to Cairo , ooops wrong thread

    It seems Dean will be here next season. I would say Mr Hilton will furnish him with just enough options to hide his ineptitude. We probably can’t expect to win against Wrexham or Notts County but if your manager can’t even get players to compete against the team next to you in the league, when you’re playing at home then when are we going to compete?.Have we actually been up for any of the last 4 games ?. On the bright side, the stability of not getting relegated next season will be seen as a massive bonus I suppose.

    NLN Relegation next season is a real possibility .. exactly what was foretold prior to this season and so it was… sadly im predicting a mediocre mid table finish at best next season as we have dropped that low.

    get rid of the lot .. if i had to choose 5 to stay i couldnt without being honest

    Chappo
    Ogle
    Elliot
    Butterfield (no chance he will go)

    other than that p45S ALL ROUND SHOWER OF SHITE ..

    A professional footballer should have skill pride passion ability ..little of that has been on show in recent months at SUFC ..

    As my old gran says .. a new broom sweeps clean so Hilts .. bin them all.. and i mean ALL.

    I think Dean will be given his chance with a decent budget and if not playing well in in the top 6 in the NLN Hilton will sack him .. its obvious to see Hilton is not fazed by making tough decisions so give JD his chance.

    Total clear out .. can anyone name a player on recent performances and current form who should stay n play at the club next season .. all the loan players dont give ashit and sadly some who are on the books have given up and are an embarassment.

    Hilton needs the fans backing , if Dean remains crap in NLN he will go ..for now he also should be given an opportunity to succeed on his own merits not with a cobbled together mix n match bunch of no hopers hes working with now.

    IMO the rash of signings was a gamble to stay up that has back fired badly…

    commentators being as kind as possible but it sounds like the Scunny players just dont care , sulking mooching around no effort naming Cam Wilson as one of them… no chasing no reactions to even trying to get on the ball .. maybe they all need binning n start a fresh.

    Scunny fans still singing but let down very very badly yet again.

    You heard the bit where you can help by you and your company sponsoring the academy IFA to help keep it open.

    I did listen to the podcast in its entirety and picked up on the academy funding itself plan via both monthly subs and sponsorship seemed a practical and balanced idea.

    I did jokingly suggest to my two business partners both football fans (Norwich city and West Ham) we should buy 1899 shares alas with none of us wishing to be back in blighty for any length of time other than a holiday it fell on deaf ears.

    I am planning / was planning to take an 1899 share when the dust settles and all appears legally sorted and may be up for some kind of sponsorship at the club (academy)…not forgetting i and my business are based in Asia so just how something could happen would need looking at, our business here does deal with some big European companies and recently we talked them into sponsoring Rugby sevens tournament.

    I am planning a trip back to Scunny at some point, family stuff to sort here first so re SUFC IMO ITS EARLY DAYS UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP AND ITS NOT REALLY GONE TO PLAN AS YET …but may well do something in the future

    much happier since the DH Ironarmy podcast gig and decided to be more positive towards the new owners efforts, i liked what he said.
    Looks like JD is here to stay but he does know hes got to get results as i get the feeling Hilts wont take too much shit if things go wrong.
    I would like to know a bit more about DH plan moving forward but suppose all will be revealed over the next season or so.

    just seen the starting 11 n subs .. JD with nowt to loose has gives Elliot a start against one of his former clubs where he notched a few… but whose up front with him ?
    Butterfield on the bench.

    Be nice to get a win but not overly confident, hard one to call .. it wont be 0-0 but a score draw is more than likely.

    Hope the fans have a great day.

    Thanks for the commentary link Rene.

    how using GP only on match days will operate needs to also be an issue put to DH in the up coming podcast ,,i hope the guys that do the cast dont get all giddy n go soft on him as the event is staged in the promised land.

    I will predict now most pre season friendlies and non league cup competitions will be played at Ilkeston (except for the ones against Botesford , Cods etc.)

    hey looking on the bright side …….no more “must win” games we never win

    Watched Daz vid on the NLN grounds and theres a real mix of the good the bad n the ugly… i reckon a few real good away days for Scunny traveling die hards, i hope the away numbers are as high as of late.

    Gateshead 4 Yeovil 0

    yeah pretty much looks like the current bottom 4 will be relegated and all former EFL clubs ..

    Possibly Aldershot now dropping into the mix slightly…offering a slim chance for Torquay n Yeovil to avoid the drop , alas not Scunny.

    Sad sad times indeed.

    We would definitely rather have and support a phoenix club based in Scunthorpe than a club based at Ilkeston.

    100% …….whatever its name a club based in Ilkeston would mean jack shit to me
