I am not retired yet, but watching this AB team is depressing.
Hated 5 across the back and probably always will, however Buxton showed me how it can work and played the system beautifully, I agree about Scarborough away but Buxton at home was a real eye opener. The 3 x 0-0 draws showed AB and AS were not really upto the job and the dogged belief in the 5 across the back system and claiming everybody was signed up to it really peed me and a lot of the fans off.
The Brogan loan looks like revenge on the fans as he was starting to play well and making AB look a complete plum.

I wasn’t a big fan of Danny Elliot, thought he spent too much time running anywhere but towards goal.
He could however score goals, so what were his wages compared to Botty Beck.
The real value is in how much we are/were paying per goal and on that issue Botty is a financial nightmare.
Good work but not a great advert for retirement.
Butler should set up to attack and not let the opposition play, then they would worry about us.
Other teams know he is negative, with limited tactical nous and a track record of bizarre non inspiring substitutions which usually turn the game against us.

Just watched his monumental six yard box clearance instead of scoring v Rushall.
He’s a complete arse and shall be referred to as Botty Beck.
If we paid money for this player, some serious questions must be asked of those who discovered this signing, wanted this signing, sanctioned this signing and continue to play this signing.
He is getting worse by the week and one or two goals won’t change that.

Too many lost opportunities to gain the top slot and then consolidate it.
3 X 0-0 needless draws at home means you have to make up the results on the road, especially against a team 2nd from bottom.
We are okay when ahead but have no answer when teams come back at us.
More NLN next season I am afraid.

Fans who were there today – was it the fault of players/manager/combination?
Who cares they are second bottom and we are supposedly chasing promotion.
1-0 up comfortable, to losing 2-1 without an answer when they equalised and then took the lead.
We were told he had learnt lessons from the first half of the season, well forgive me but two good results away at Peterborough and home v Kings Lynn had me believing that.
Today says not!

Only one noodle to blame I’m afraid and he picks the team along with the other chuckle brother!

If money is the issue, then the income from home gates is going down after we constantly shoot ourselves in the foot and miss opportunity after opportunity to seize the top spot and put distance between ourselves and the chasing pack!
Mind you I do not think Beck could even shoot himself in the foot!

2 weeks to bring a right back in and we prioritize a catering and events manager instead.
At least we seem to have money to throw around.
Maybe a right footed catering and events manager who can play right back Saturday/Tuesday!

He’s not odd he has a disability.
After Staffy he’s the only fan legend left.
Spellcheck Sidey…
Earl is an ignorant sodThank you for confirming Earl is ignorant, I thought it was maybe a personal thing.
Jerry is a lovely chap actually and a medical condition caused his present demeanor, prior to that he was as ‘normal’ as anyone of us.
A further serious medical problem later in life did not help him either.

It is very noticeable that the whole matter which thrust two certain characters into the spotlight has gone very quiet since one contacted the other on a second X account which showed an unhealthy interest in ladies of questionable age!
When certain people resurface they may find themselves viewed very differently in many people’s eyes.

I half expected this to be a double entendre of Vizesque proportions in reference to a well known fundraiser and highly dubious posts on an X account!

A lovely old gentleman who was an ardent Iron used to subsidise away travel.
Sadly that gentleman passed away, when his funding ceased certain people stopped going away
Now that half of Stuart’s raised funds are subsidising away travel, those people are suddenly back on the scene, which is an amazing coincidence.
Furthermore with their favourite Premiership team struggling after a few glorious years, they are now part of the un-elected Unity set up!
