Agree , all be it im still hoping for the miracle its pretty obvious its NL here we come and for sure a league very difficult to get out of at the right end…
My most pressing concern is the club going into admin folding and not existing at all.. i will be a Scunny fan til i die regardless where they play but the thought of them being no more is very haunting.

[ironfromafar]

Sadly have to agree … coming away with anything other than a heavy defeat will be a bonus..

my dreaming heart says 0-1 or 1-1 Scunny …….. alas my head is saying 3-0 Swindon

Or could we have a real go at this?

Fully match fit I think this line up is upper mid table which is what we need to be for the next 16 games:
Watson
Millen Onariase Delaney O’Malley
Grant
Sinclair Hackney
Feeney
Burns Nuttall

Subs:
Collins
Pugh
Rowe
Taft
Bunn
Pyke
Beeston

My glass is obviously half full this evening.

I will pretty much go with that line up when all fit and available, for sure we will have a better idea come the final whistle at Swindon where in honesty (not dreaming) a point would be a good result.

Hoping the Walsal win boosts belief n confidence.

Walsal sacked Taylor i see ..no real surprise

I think Delaney was excellent last night and looks an upgrade on Taft’s recent displays. To be fair Taft did OK when he came on. A lot more energy than he has been showing.

Possibly a player that needs something to prove to bring out his best given how good he looked when he first arrived here on loan.

Yes i missed Delaney off my earlier post … added to Grant he looks like a decent signing.

The fat lady coughed spluttered but sat down again , maybe shes got omicron ? and following two L2 clubs YT channels those being Walsal and Carlisle it appears they are getting squeaky bums and maybe the fat lady hasnt quite made her mind up where to sing yet.

keep the faith and get behind Hill and the lads.

Youve got to take into consideration what Hill inherited from Cox .. i rate him as a manager but sadly he isnt a fairy godmother with a magic wand..

Grant looks like a class player calm cool and something we desperately needed .. the jury is still out on the other January intake.

3 points is 3 points and Carlise Walsal and a couple more in the mix will be nipping their arses now especially with Oldham winning again.

[ironfromafar]

When hearing quotes n comments like ” building for the future” it concerns me … obviously alluding to a future in the NL and even lower ???, looking at the current teams in the NL Scunny would be in the bottom half at best… aka Southend.

Following the Oldham loss and looking how we played (didnt gel and looked unfit) the next fixture against Walsal is massive and Saddlers fans are labeling it as the biggest game of their season and a must win for both sides… another 0-0 or 0-1 then

Doomed …SAD BUT TRUE

Hi all. Walsall fan here.

Interested to hear your thoughts on Tuesday night. I’m going for some bizarre reason.

I’d also check out our managers post match comments from Saturday where he stated ‘we aren’t in a relegation battle’ – which is one of the strangest things I’ve ever heard.

We have a few decent players, but a completely imbalanced squad. Morale is very low.

Our press and fans are suggesting Taylor might be sacked if we don’t beat you, with even a draw deemed not good enough.

Thoughts ?

Two terrible sides and a must win for both .. if you loose against us im sure Taylor will get the boot.

Im going for a draw which in reality isnt much good for either side though it may keep Taylor safe another week.

I follow Walsall fan TV and the very loyal and passionate Simon …. even he looks worried and is very depressed by the current Saddlers situation.

Camorn Scunny show some fight and lets have a win

UP THE IRON

If we could play like Keith talks we have nothing to worry about.

Got to agree with that .. we would be toppa the league.

Oldhamn have strengthened their squad in the window ..plus new manager bounce ..gonna be a tough game tomorrow and IMO make or break and a win is a must, alas im going for an entertaining score draw .. PLEASE NOT A DEFEAT !!

Im happy with the players Hill has brought in in the window and pretty obvious these are Hills signings (no interference) theres more grit and experience in there now , Swann has supported Hill as he said he would …. now i just hope they gel from the get go.

I hope all the fans that can go do go and get behind the NEW IRON .. enjoy n sing yer hearts out for the lads.

UP THE IRON

[ironfromafar]

the deadline has ended and the scores on the doors ..

8 In have to confess dont know much about them other than whats on the SUFC website

Burns
Matheson
Sinclair
Feeney
Grant
Nuttal
Pyke
Delaney

A few out .. Hippo being the only one of slightest concern heyho

IMO ..like the experience above ,players with a bit of nous , pace and will get stuck in.

Huge game this Saturday ..and as Hill comments 18 cup finals ahead … he also confirmed there are still a few players here who he wanted shot ov ??????

Its not over til the fat lady sings … though i did hear her tuning up with a tentative humming sound.

Camorn Scunny UP THE IRON

One should never take for granted the option of supporting your chosen footy team and going to watch them on match days.. rain snow or blow through good times and bad, yes its always better whilst winning and competing at the toppa which ever league your club is in.
I followed Scunny home and away for years pre 2000 before left UK shores .. i can honestly say after 22 years away there are very few things i miss in Blighty..but going to watch the Iron is most definately one of them along with family , friends and proper fish n chips from a proper chippy (Scunny had plenty back then) , 7 hour time difference is a pain and thank the lord for tinternet so i can keep up to speed and watch “live” on line when available…i get my Scunny shirts sent over every year via a mate but IMO none of this compares to being at the ground and all that goes into a day at the footy , pre match pint , shitty pie n bovril at half time and the banter with the lads.

only my opinion ans each to their own thats what makes the world go around.

Love your loyalty and optimism .. i too am keeping the faith and praying for a run of wins starting against Oldham.

IF only Hill had been brought in sooner .. my worry is its too late ..but miracles happen n its a funny old game and not over until mathematically impossible to survive.

I think Hill is doing his best with his hands tied some what.. 6 losses on the bounce but talking to a mate who went to Vale Park said played a lot better and Feeney Grant and Sinclair improved us dramatically … hope can get a striker , goal scorer in ..Nuttal ciming soon ???? plus another ..also a replacement for Taft who is dog shit.

Why would you take Burns off 1-0 down ??? n chuck on a fella who was right back 2 weeks ago if im not mistaken.

Its looking bleak …bleaker by the week ..and if a miracle happens forever more it will be Houdini Hill .. alas pretty much look doomed to the NL

Fantastic turn out n support from the traveling fans .. WELL DONE TO ALL

ironarmy YT vlog sums it up all be it this week a bit strange due to sad circumstances

good news ..lets hope can get a few more book ends out n better options in , more so they click from the outset ..

Obvious with Kenyon dropping 2 leagues it highlights theres been too much dead wood in the squad in recent years… Cox years mainly.

Hoping for Grant , Nuttal plus a couple more at the very least… it looks like Hill is specifying players he wants and not the boardroom mafia.

Oops forgot about Matheson .

[ironfromafar]

So at present we have had Burns , Sinclair and Feeney come in … what is happening re Nuttal , Grant ???? and also be nice to keep informed as to who is leaving…..its like the club seem hesitant to keep fans updated and they have to rely on the various media rumours and tweets are these deals so cloak n dagger and signed off with a secret handshake?

A HUGE week for SUFC ?? .. HOPE SO

B Rovers seem to have to been busy in the transfer window .. as do many other clubs , im hoping Loft doesnt play would hate him to play well , score his head wouldnt get through the coach door for the trip back.

Anything but a home win not enough .. Barrow play Salford keep an eye on that one too.

like the sound of this lad … get him in .

What happened to any Nuttall deal ????

so so far still only Burns has arrived .. circa 6 days to go more so games added players can be involved in are dwindling away.

Seems we are missing out a lot, whilst all around us are signing at will Sunny Scunny obviously is not as appealing .. most of the clubs around us in L2 have made numerous signings , Stevenage Carlisle and even Oldham n Colchester are on the bus ..

circa 9 days and it aint looking good is it.

Even the Cods are finding players and Abrahams is a tidy player.

at the end of the window desperation is bound to set in and will end up with an odd experienced past it player of little use/improvement to the squad .. but then Swann can say he tried ..
FEEL SORRY FOR HILL

Im due a 1 month trip back to Blighty later this year put off cos of covid and will be attending as many home and away fixtures as poss , never been to Boreham Wood only the service station .. twill be interesting to see what sort of home crowds Scunny will get IF IF they do end up in the NL .

I think we need 2 good-ish strikers in as one won’t cut it. Need a CB and a progressive CM player. That’s the bare minimum because even then you could argue we need a RB and a mobile DCM player as Rowe is preferred over Kenyon so that can’t say much for Kenyon and he’s injury prone himself.

We have nothing at all upfront besides Burns and he’s never even played league football before coming here.

Cant disagree with that ..alas cant see any of it happening in the next 10 days ..hope im wrong but appears we may being going out with wimper .. even some young codhead fookwits are taking the piss on SM re our plight and Mactee scoring a stunner against Altrincham.
