Never attracted good crowds until the quarter final stages at least even before the EFL sold another peice of it’s soul to the mighty premiership in exchange for a few crumbs of cash.

I am sad enough to read most stuff written about the Iron in the public domain and I have never seen anything (other than on here) that suggests he is leaving.
Love him or hate him as a player he is currently the most likely player we have to score an occasional goal and however well or badly he plays he gives 100% for me.

They did get Wilson to warm up late on then realised they had already made 5 substitutions.
Having to sub a sub doesn’t help. Suspect we might see him on Tuesday.

Agree Les but I hope we’re wrong.
Would imagine all league 2 sides, half of the league 1 sides and the monied half dozen National league sides would all be in the queue for him.
Allegedly all of the above have bigger budgets than us.

Must have missed Devarn’s good game last season WG.
Agree he does not have the same problem as Hippolyte. He works hard and I would love to see him succeed.
As Usain Bolt demonstrated in his attempts to be a professional footballer being quick isn’t much use if you can’t pass, cross or shoot.
The fact that 50% of his runs end up with him on his arse looking for a free kick that never comes doesn’t help either.

One of Cox’s problems was to favour the players he signed although not the first Iron manager to do that.
Not sure if Millen was injured yesterday but interesting that O’Malley and Rowe got the nod at full back by McMahon. Both have struggled for starts under Cox.
Hippolyte also didn’t start and may not be doing in the foreseeable if the snippet from the half time team talk is true. Although it took him time to show it Hackney is the only summer signing to to demonstrate he is any better than players already here and of course he is going back in January.
Still hopeful Scrimshaw will look the part if Hill can organise a bit of quality ball to him.
Thompson is a hard working lad but no better a defender than O’Malley and not as good going forward.
Davis, Kenyon and Millen have had 2 good games between them although injuries have not helpedwith either of them. The so called experienced guys have been underwhelming at best so far.
I hope another 1 or 2 of our own young lads get the chance to shine in Tuesdays otheraise meaningless game (Wilson and Gallimore perhaps).
Dont think Mr Hill will fanny about with those that don’t care e.g. Hippolyte or those that will never be good enough e.g. Green.

Happy to defend the right to verbally abuse the people that actually do these things. Would do so myself.
Not the same thing to abuse a community or race for the actions of some members of that community or race.

Tell that to the people who have to clear their shit up, and I mean human shit, they never bring a toilet with them and they refuse to shit in their own caravans, so they leave their smelly presents up against people back gardens especially when on the field near Marsden drive now that’s what I call really objectionable.
There are some in the travelling community that do some bad and very selfish things. There are many that don’t which is why blaming a community for the actions of some members is racism.
There are a number of white English people that do bad and very selfish things but a lot of them seem to end up governing us.

Sounds like Peter is bored with meddling too much with the football side. Can’t see Mr Hill putting up with that.
Shame we didnt stick with Hurst and we probably would not be this deep in the shit.

If there is anyone out there desperate to listen to an overweight rich guy promising much and delivering nothing save yourselves the journey.
You can find Boris on tv most days.

If it was BPG it was probably Benny Hill.

Thats a bit radical Cass. Playing the best available players (who are fit) and playing them in a system they understand.
Let’s hope the next patsy agrees with you.

Was it not that we had a number of shite players on 2 or 3 grand a week that Hurst failed to “magic” off the wage bill.

Not sure at our performance levels the system ever makes much difference. We do well in games when we mark men, challenge for the ball and have some kind of attacking intent.
When we retreat into 2 lines and mark space instead of players and stop challenging for the ball we gift possession, chances and usually goals. Known in modern coaching parlance (bullshit) as keeping your shape.
You could never accuse Wilcox’s teams of not marking men or challenging for the ball – the attacking intent was often missing though.
If it means the current coaching team have suddenly had a light bulb moment and realised improving the ability of our squad is part of their job then it is cause for celebration.
We have seen little evidence of it over the last 15 months.
As someone who makes a living as a coach (of managers rather than footballers) then improving the capability of the people I coach is number one priority.

He knows where Alcy lives – remember the famous letter that the chairman couldnt be bothered to respond to. Unless of course Alcy forgot to put his address on it which would at least explain why he did not get a reply.

Makes the decision to give them so many opportunities to have a decent game between them a really strange one – Hackney finally managed it on Saturday.
Had probably our 3 of our best 4 performances this season since Pugh returned. Not blaming the loanees – they arrived unpprepared for mens football as you would expect. To put them both in at once was bizarre to say the least.
