I’m sure that I could hear Rene shouting for Sutton in that last 16 minutes.

[lesgeo]

Every Sutton long throw has been a foul throw.
Ref was appalling in first ten minutes. Still making mistakes but not quite as many.
The goal conceded – I really do not know what to say. Sigh!

MK Iron

Awww.

[lesgeo]

Top man. Really pleased for him.

[lesgeo]

Have been trying to think of any forward of ours since KK 1 who: covers as much ground; makes as many challenges; trips the light fantastic better and finds more right places to be than DH.
His skills have long been there to see but many did not expect him to be as good as he is looking at this level.
And yes, Ewing looks a belting signing.
Gotta feel pleased about Horton. Boyce playing out of his skin.
Gonna have to revise my 14th position shout to ‘comfortably in the top half.’

[lesgeo]

One thing I cannot get quite right in my head is Rowley’s type of play. I don’t see him as often as I expect to but you just know in your guts that he is doing a really good job.

[lesgeo]

In so many ways that was a super performance yesterday. So many improvements showing through from last season’s play.
Better positioning; stealing ball well; heavier and cleaner tackles; better passing; getting best out of defenders; more effective attacking; not dropping straight back to the edge of the box as soon as Woking moved forward etc, etc.
If Howe can keep putting in performances like that – it’s almost as good as being allowed to field 12 men.

Rene Artois

Rory in?
We know from last Autumn that AB can really dig in his heels if confronted with the adverse consequences of his planning.
I do SO want Campbell to succeed but Rory – former Iron Player of the Season – MUST surely be the better player.
Innit?

[lesgeo]

3 points will do nicely.

Thanks, SYI.

[lesgeo]

Presumably no commentary anywhere?

[lesgeo]

The quality of that broadcast from Tamworth was an utter disgrace. Fact.
But, as for overall value – I got the £99 deal for the season. Adding fixtures abroad, whilst I am trying to find a bit of winter sunshine, means that I can legitimately get matches at around a fiver apiece across the season.
Ask me if I would rather have a shockingly poor quality broadcast or zilch – well, for me that’s a no brainer.
Even so, I am rather hoping that ‘the Tamworth horror’ will not be repeated all that often.

[lesgeo]

Great news!

[lesgeo]

I think a certain brilliant leave by Whitehall should get an assist.

Hope you are right!

[lesgeo]

Howe really impressed. His movement was so nippy that the Tamworth defence kept losing their shape.

Rene Artois, Awaywego

We genuinely looked as if we may be a plausible NL side. WELL done AB!
GK fine. Great save at the end.
Ref – 7. Got a large % right.
Only complaint – who let that ball bounce in the area when they scored?
Starbuck my MOTM. Looked really comfortable. Indeed, nobody had a below par game.
I am encouraged!
Tamworth 10th was it, last season?

Checked everything: hub link etc.
This was DAZN’s fault.
Appalling coverage. An utter disgrace.

[lesgeo]

At the moment, I’ll settle for any result – provided that we genuinely look as if we are a plausible NL side.

[lesgeo]

It does sound a bit that way.

[lesgeo]

Ah. Good spot.
Still makes me wonder why there were triallists involved who, presumably, are not getting a contract.

[lesgeo]

Hmm. That may work for the first 10 games.

[lesgeo]

It’s a fair point IFA.
The other issues are that no side of 11 men – (allowing for several subs) – has had 90+ minutes on the pitch in a single game.
WE have long known that we have been taking on (allegedly) inferior teams in every single fixture. How can that be deemed proper preparation for going into a higher division?
Never seen this done before in any pre-season – and really don’t like it.

A mate of mine and his daughter are Owls. They are worried. Had a long chat with him on the phone last night. It’s bad!
Talked to my cousin who used to lead a fans group in Hull until he got poorly. He had some awful tales to tell.
Should the word ‘corruption’ be coming up quite so often in English football?

[lesgeo]

Wasn’t he once described as a CB – or is my ageing braincell playing up?

[lesgeo]

Well done, Iron!

[lesgeo]

BLT, like you, I have reservations about our ‘Number One GK’ but let us say that he might possibly be capable of significant improvement. What if that potential might soon begin to show through with half a dozen tough games under his belt?
Just how helpful is it to call him ‘shite?’

Are you sure that you are being reasonable about that, San Fran?

[lesgeo]

How many times over decades have we seen The Mighty Iron outplay opposition – only to lose?

[lesgeo]

Unkind.
