Exchange for Delaney I hope.
I would love to see Delaney here next season but the swap is not a possibility.
Giving players of the season a contract is not the way we do things here Cass.

They probably realise more than many footballers why it it is still relevant.
Yems always seemed a bit of a twat even before the racist allegations.

Much easier for Hill to ignore the likes of Jarvis, KDT and Perry as he had nothing to do with bringing them here or giving them 2 year contracts.
Let’s face it none of them have done anything to suggest they can perform at L2 or National League level. If they won’t agree to pay offs we should be trying to get them season long loans in tiers 6 or 7 to cut our losses.
As with many things Swann and Cygnet can have all the credit for those 3 doozies.
Hill’s honeymoon ends at 17:00 next Saturday so I think it’s fair to be judging Nuttall and a few others a bit more critically from then on.

It’s all about opinions of course but I don’t think it’s lack of effort with Nuttall. He had barely played a game in th 18 months before he came here. That’s how we were able to get him.
He had no fitness and even less confidence. He has sorted out the fitness but confidence for a striker means scoring some goals. Difficult to do in a side like ours that creates so few chances.
My frustration (and those that sit around me) on Saturday is that for a big strong looking lad he gets bullied to easily by centre backs. He looks as if he should be bullying them and he doesn’t. Of course he missed a very good chance after good work by Wilson in the first half. He possibly took the wrong option with the opportunity in the second half but I expect centre forwards to back themselves when in that position.
Hooper and Sharpe used to miss chances but they often got 4 or 5 opportunities in a game. Nuttall has had 4 or 5 since he arrived.
Yes he should apologise to fans if he raised a finger but it shows the fellow cares and was, I’m sure angry and frustrated with himself.
There is a player in there and with a full pre-season, a few decent chances and half a dozen goals under his belt I think he could not only do well next season but become a saleable asset.
I would still like to see a bit more devil in him though.
Knew you were joking when you bigged up that tosser Grant.

I would file it in the same bin all of his other promises ended up in.
I see it as gearing up for “We couldn’t build a competitive team because the fans did not back us” quickly followed by “No-one credible came in to buy the club” (translation: no-one was daft enough to cover my losses and then invest enough to drag the club out of the shite).
Finally we will get the “No alternative but to put the club into administration and sell my land to a developer.”

There is a big difference between investment and speculation.
I suggest our absentee landlord did very little of the former and multi million pounds of the latter.
The speculation was all based on a misplaced confidence in his own judgement but he would now like his money back.
It’s not likely to end well for Mr Swann or for the Iron.

I am sure we will all have different views about which or indeed if any of the out of contract players that we should keep.
However it won’t be a long list of people happy that we are obliged to keep Taft, Millen, O’Neil, Hallam and Perry.
The infamous transfer committee keeps on giving.

Just a thought but is this deflection from a manager that has seen his left back roasted for 70 minutes and then brings the clubs best left back off the bench into right midfield to replace the days best performing midfield player.
Who refused to play who might have got a game anyway? Perry? The German? Nuttall? Why was he on the bench then?
Bollocks Keith. I know you were dealt a bad hand but I think it’s time to fold.

I remember an away game at Walsall when we had 3 shots on target and Walsall had about 10.
We won 4-1. I think Tom Hopper scored a couple that day.
Doesn’t matter how many lottery tickets you buy. Only winning tickets are worth anything.
