Maidenhead played the ball on the floor and ran at our defence pinpointing Taft and O’Malley in particular. They scored with their first two attacks putting the ball in the six yard box exactly where goals are scored.
Two of their goals were scored on the goal line far too simply.
We had a lot of good chances hitting the bar and post as well as scoring a well placed penalty and a classic header into the box from a good cross.
The worry for me was how often we pumped the ball high and long for Nutall.
We should learn from Maidenhead who played the ball through the channels and on the ground.

If your rumours are true that others have walked away can only be a good thing, we want someone who is committed to the club not someone who gives up at the first hurdle, most deals fail because the buyer can’t come up with the finance not being fed bullshit, just look at the Derby saga.
As ever you spectacularly miss the point and wonder off on a tangent all of your own.
You could throw yourself at the floor and miss.

Grant Shapes recieves £84,144 basic salary in May of this year he received a payrise of £2,212. He also received £71,673 as minister of state in the cabinet. A whopping £155,817.
Average train driver salaries £24,000-£60,000 depending on experience.
If you take away the right to protest (strike in this case) the gap will widen between the well paid few and a better paid many.
The French manage to protest extremely well and retire at 62 the Macron government tried to raise this to 64 amidst much national protest, theirs remains 62. Ours went up from 65 to 66 and soon to be 67 without even the bat of an eyelid.
MP pensions are based on final salary and paid at 65. Mr Shapps has a personal fortune of £1.2 million and has his own private jet.
If anybody thinks Mr Shapps gives a flying f### about train travellers or train driver salaries they are much mistaken and to curb the right to protest about anything is detrimental the democratic process, which is being slowly eroded anyway.
That’s why the fuel bill for the 400 mile round trip to Maidenhead from Scunthorpe will cost circa £70. Diesel/petrol prices at the forecourt are being artificially held up in line with other energy costs.
Maybe we should worry more about 9:1% inflation on everything, fuel bills of over £3000 per annum. The £200 rise in NI contributions per person since April 1st this year then 100,000 Train drivers getting 7% still below the current rate of inflation.
Might I also suggest that the payrise be paid for out of the additional 4.5 billion for Crossrail up from 14.5 billion to 18.5 billion.
In December 2020 the Government agreed £825 million finance deal with Tfl, the then transport secretary was a one Grant Shapps.
Who by the way is a complete tosser, I would be very disappointed if Ernie is not a Tory, the similarities are too numerous to mention.

Awaywego as usual misses most of the point or all of it, then comes back with a comment both in support and against something.
Centrica has announced record profits of 1.34 billion, so why are we paying such high energy bills, especially when only 5% of our domestic gas supply comes from Russia?
As for Maidenhead we can always go by car at £10 a gallon.

On the 13th of August they are!.
Good its time to stand up to these billionaires who dont give a flying fuck about the common working man, rising prices, house fuel bills, petrol/diesel prices, inflation at 9% and rising, no spare income to go to Maidenhead or any other London centric ground, public transport services we get 20 metre strip of tarmac whilst Cross Rail cost 18 billion and rising.

Nuttall spent most of Saturdays friendly against Peterborough in the channel he won’t reach single figures out there let alone double.

Shite squad, no goals in the team and players still making the same individual mistakes as last season (Rochdale friendly).

Has anyone factored in COVID and Bolton Wanderers from Ernie’s excuses.
Ernie fails to factor in umpteen crap managers, selling Aduleken, Holmes,Townsend and Wallace and not replacing them quality wise.
Oh and selling Paddy Madden our last regular goalscorer to be replaced by nobody able to score more than 10 in any season. Or as currently a team unable to score 10 between them.
Ernie did not lose interest he simply fails to deliver on anything, his attention and money was diverted to the Sands Venue, a multi-million investment of a 5 star hotel in errr Blackpool the home of B&Bs stag n hen weekends and scotch week. Popular for donkies, kiss me quick hats and rock!
Blackpool also once had the worse ever football club chairman!!!!!!
Something is amiss, Ernie kept saying the fans don’t want him here, when normally he has blustered through with “when you are the chairman you are there to be shot at,” or “in all walks of life when you are in a position of responsibility or leadership there are always people who want to have a go,” Usually followed up with “I have broad shoulders and can take whatever people throw at me.”
I don’t believe he is any nearer to selling the club, just setting up the fans to depart and blame us for not wanting him.
Just a thought, oh and for good measure the consortium will pull out because the fans were ungrateful.

Somebody has put an amalgamation on facebook about Ernest’s intentions going forward, but it is 3/4 theories based on rumour.
It seems to suggest Ernie still wants to press ahead with the flats which is stalling on any sale.
It reads bad but even Ernie is not stupid enough to retain the club at £80k per week loss to reclaim profits in 3 years time, basically any profits from the flats would be eaten away in the losses prior to that. Also surely no one with a modicum of business accumen would enter a financial arrangement which allowed Peter an element of control?

So looking forward to the latest Pawn Podcast.
Don’t want the usual drivel and shite, only want to hear.
“There is a buyer”, “due diligence”, “I will be gone!”
“SORRY”

It’s like the replica kit saga another absolute shambles. Who dreams up these own goals time after time?
The hardcore home support base is down by two thirds of what is was under Graham Alexander.
It’s like somebody sits there thinking what can we possibly do to piss another tranche of supporters off. Hey look we have served up some absolute drivel on the pitch for a few years and they are still here.
Look 30 miles up the road and it’s a different story on and off the field, Ernest Pawn needs to go so people can be brought in with commercial nous and good business acumen.
Our club stinks from top to bottom and I cannot think of a single positive for some considerable time. My loyalty to Scunthorpe United is paramount and unwavering but I dislike everything about the club.
I will not be driven away by the egotistical narcissist wanker responsible.
PS I won’t be buying a replica shirt anyway it’s f……g embarrassing being an Iron supporter without advertising it.

Great first season then he could not be arsed in the second season.
He could not wait to get away either and NOT better himself elsewhere.
On that basis it’s a no from me.

But where should a striker play IronKing???
I want mine in and around the box ready to score.
It’s the one position where tracking back is not really high on my agenda
Centre-spot to penalty spot, don’t want them in the channels or back for corners, want them working both centre-halves with most of their work done in both the 6 and 18 yard boxes where the ball should be put.
Goals are mainly scored from inside the boxes so don’t see the point of strikers chasing the channels. That’s for midfielders, wingers or full backs.
Shearer was a box player hence the number of goals he scored.

Does some really sterling work actually if anybody is watching, unfortunately its in the channels attacking or defending throw-ins.
Can’t remember Cammy, Greeny, Killer, Flopper, Sharpy or Hoops doing any of that, no they preferred to play down the centre. Just imagine how many more goals they might not have scored if they did!!!!!!!

Against an U 23 side, and we still did not win!
I may well be thick, but you constantly prove to be thicker.
overall Ironking I doubt if our squad averaged over 23 in age.
Thanks Mick, just had it confirmed by Adrian Mole average age 13 3/4.
