Are they closed DM66, I had a eye test yesterday but not at specsavers, and my opticians have been open since July, when I should have had eye test but they are just catching up.
I agree with Ironawe and les, why change back to a failed formation because we were one player out, 3 centre halves never work for us unless it is late in the game, yet Cox didn’t bring Bedeau on against Morecambe, the other issue is we didn’t really threaten their goal, and though Gilihead had a good game he was wasted at the back and we should have played Rowe, I don’t know whether this is all down to Cox but he is getting some very poor advice.
Groundhog Day, nearly every home game this season we have had one shot on target, we have just had a three game unbeaten run when we have played a proper right back, tonight we played either Green or Gillihead there one as a wing back and three central defenders and we turn in another poor performance, we have had 17 games up to now and scored 12 goals with only one game when we have scored two, so Neil Cox this isn’t good enough and you can only see one outcome and that is relegation.

I think the late changes lost us 2 points, bringing fresh faces on didn’t help, and seeing we were hanging on maybe Bedeau would have been a better option, also we might have been better off if the ref had given them the corner which he had originally given seeing it came from Howard’s kick up field they eventually scored, but isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing.
Positives is we defended well, unlucky for Howard the goal, disappointment was we only one effort on target and hardly attacked, and old habit of sitting deep when we where the home team, we certainly need to attack more and also you don’t score goals when you don’t shoot.
I think we wanted a younger team, but we wanted league 2 experienced younger players not Southern League or lower, we also need players playing in their normal positions and no strange formations.

does any of you use VPN, if you do make sure you are in England with your IP address because if you are logged into Ireland, Scotland or abroad you might have problems, best thing is to switch it off.
lower league football clubs usually sign a side that can compete in the league they are playing in, plus 2 or 3 that are good enough when needed, they then have a few bench warmers that can come on for a few minutes or play if the club has injuries.
Scunthorpe United have signed a side that can’t compete in the league they are playing in, they have 6 or 7 that are good enough for the league but are either injured or not doing enough in training, they also have a few more that can make the numbers up.
who’s fault it is I have no idea but the responsibility is with the Chairman.
the way we are getting points at the moment those 3 games may as well be zero, it is like 2 years ago when we needed 10 points from 15 games and still failed miserably.
but like Les says there is too much inexperience in the team and with the best players being injured it’s like putting a reserve team out, now I think players have lost confidence and us supporters the will to live.
