I don’t rate him and he has been our best attacking threat this season.

On a positive note most players and managers that leave the Iron do better elsewhere.

Only real surprise is Pugh who did well enough for me in a poor side.
Plenty of dead weight still hanging around. Taft, Perry, O’Neill and Hallam all unlikely to get much game time. Can they be encouraged out by payment of 50% of their contracts?

If the Cobblers want to know why they didn’t get promoted they should look to their away match at Scunthorpe.
The only half decent side in the division who looked as if they thought they only had to turn up to get the 3 points.
Consequently they dropped 2 points. The rest of the top 7 got their regulation 6 points from us.

See where your heading Cass.
Worth shipping 7 to get an extra £10k?

Totally agree Cass.
So who are these players that set the terrible culture?
We can probably let KDT off the hook because he only appears twice a year.
We can ignore Hallam unless he spreads negativity from the physios table.
Am assuming the youngsters are exempt.
Leaves us with Taft, Millen, Perry and Jarvis unless I have forgotten someone. To be fair we have had a lot of forgettable players these last 4 years.
As for responsibility for the culture – if it’s not the manager or the owners fault the who the feck is responsible?

Watson
Rowe
Delaney
Young
O’Malley
Feeney
Grant
Beeston
Hackney
Bunn
NuttallThat team still probably gets beaten at Bristol today but they would not have embarrassed the club or scarred a bunch of teenagers trying to make their way in the game.
I really feel for the likes of Lobley and Foster. In my opinion Hill has put the juniors out to protect his own reputation and shows no respect for the youngsters, for Northampton, for the integrity of the game or for Scunthorpe United.
Supported him fully since he got here but he should be at the Job Centre on Monday.

I don’t do religion but thank the lord that shit show of a season is over.
Unfortunately the shit show has been going on for four years.
Only one man to blame but I think we should clear out the lot including Hill, McMahon and Muzzy.
Get Crozzer in and start from scratch.

Not sure it’s doing much for the kids either Mick.
Just protects Hill from criticism of the shite he brought in to the club in January.

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.
