Apologies Siderite should have explained better. I meant Rory Mahady as he is our only other option.
Agree though Rory Watson was finally playing with some real confidence by the time York did the dirty on him.If Karma is a real thing we will beat Yoyk at Wembley in May with Watson cheering us on.

Meant to add – we play 4-3-3 whatever the hell the other team play and the only tactic is to get the ball to the feet of Roberts or Jones everytime we have the ball.

Not picking on just one player because poor was the best level any Iron player reached today but I am absolutely gobsmacked at how poorly Smith has played since his return.
He left here a player that looked a minimum couple of steps above NLN level. He has returned looking like he’s never played before.
I know Smith is a very common name. Are we sure they sent us the right one?2 users thanked author for this post.
To be fair Awaywego the only shocking away performances that I have travelled to this season have been Solihull and today.
Last season I could have given you 6 or 8. Don’t have a problem giving up a day and a wadge of cash to see my team lose. Supporting the Iron for 60 years I’ve witnessed more away defeats than wins.
I do have a problem when we don’t even compete. Will certainly be giving Wealdstone a miss.1 user thanked author for this post.
Just got back. Butler and his team should be apologising for that exceptionally poor performance. Waste of a day.

Ridiculous decision to take Beestin off. We have 2 players with enough close control to work an opening against a packed defence. Roberts was having an off day and we take the other one off.
He had a bit of a tantrum when he was hooked and I don’t blame him.1 user thanked author for this post.
Links work for me.
Unity Iron seem to have a problem distinguishing between Matt Ellis and Iron Bru.
Does Matt Ellis even post on here?

Broke my golden rule to not venture on tax dodging social media sites but could see no evidence of a massive dick.

Don’t be overly sensitive Rene. That’s Butlers job.
We would all miss you if we left.

Credit to Butler full stop. He has just about delivered the playoffs.
Last season the playoffs was a bit disappointing given our budget relative to the rest of NLN. He and his team rescued that situation by winning the playoffs of course.
Different gravy this season if we are to believe we only have a middling NL budget.
Of course we all have had a moan and groan when we have had a couple of dips in form and when we resort to hoofball but if we step back for a minute the team have massively overeachievd on any realistic expectations for this season.
We might feck up the playoffs of course because it is always a bit of a lottery but we are finishing the season with 14 or 15 players that are competitive at the top end of this league having started the season with barely 11.
So well done to Butler and his gang and of course the players themselves. Not forgetting Michelle and the board. They have done a couple of daft things (the pitch and the love affair with the Internet scammers) but they have driven the club from almost extinction to the doorstep of the EFL.
For me this is the best time to be an Iron fan since Swann first darkened or door.4 users thanked author for this post.
Casuals want to buy into something with positivity.

Clunan was OK but Rowley is a better footballer. He has been a revelation in a position he didn’t seem to have the attributes for.
Credit to Joe of course but a fair bit of credit to Butler as well for seeing that.
We’ll need all of the midfield 3 to be at their best to get results tonight and Saturday.1 user thanked author for this post.
Given he has been the only fit centre back at the club for the last few weeks it’s hardly surprising he has been playing.
For an older pro having to play 2 games a week in a team who’s midfield has gone pretty much AWOL the old fella has not done too badly. Did we not just win 3 games in the last week despite 25 hours sitting on a bus?3 users thanked author for this post.
Love the first team grounds bit. Didn’t know we had any other teams – or grounds.

Agree with Ironawe that Westbrooke has gone off the boil a bit recently.
A bit like Ewing did a little bit earlier. Even the ever reliable Rowley has looked a bit jaded of late.
Not questioning the effort of any of the midfield 3 but they have played a lot of games.
We are obviously short on options apart from left wingers so appreciate it’s difficult to give them a break but it might be an idea to rotate them through a couple of games rest each while Beestin is fit and looking sharp.
If we do make the playoffs we need our midfield at its sharpest to stand any kind of chance.2 users thanked author for this post.
