So according to that Maison is currently worth about 10 bob.

The only way is up.

[MK Iron]

Raj on the scoresheet.

[MK Iron]

Butler inferred survival and sustainability were the goals and not in that order.

[MK Iron]

WG will find them on CM in a minute and let us know if they’re any good.

[MK Iron]

Unusual to be naming the trialists.

Raj Uppal?

Too many Dawes’ to have a clue but CB perhaps?

Last season all National League games were livestreamed including Saturday 15:00 kick-offs.

You can buy/watch any in the UK except 15:00 Saturdays. You can buy/watch those games from anywhere abroad or by using a suitable VPN that convinces DAZN that you are abroad.

He looked 2 yards short of NLN pace when he arrived but had hardly played at Solihull so no surprise.

A bit of game time and he only looked a yard off the pace towards the end of the season.

Given this league is a yard quicker again than NLN he is a player in desperate need of a strong preseason so glad he’s turned up.

Can’t see him being anything other than a plan C hoof it up the field option when trying to salvage a point or 2. Even then Boycie likely to get the nod first if he’s on the bench as well.

Go on Mark. Prove me wrong please.

We know he’s good enough – would he be prepared to come and prove his fitness for a couple of weeks?

34 and no contract so he can not be too choosy. Was my kind of midfielder back in the day.

[MK Iron]

Real shame Barrows is not fit as he is a good right back and half decent centre back. A loanee until Jan with the same skill set would be good. Might free up a slot for a mobile but aggressive midfielder everyone seems to agree we need in this league.

[MK Iron]

Just backed the wrong horse.

[MK Iron]

First choice keeper required.

1 centre back – 2 if Maxi has gone with 1 being a starter.

2 midfielders needed. 1 holding player with physical presence and one left sided with a bit of pace.

One of the above outfield players needs to be able to deliver quality right footed deadballs. If Clunan was the best we had then nobody in the current squad is up to scratch.

You might be crediting our football authorities with more common sense than they have ever previously demonstrated Awaywego.

Recent history suggests winning away at the league champions.

Not a second of it.

Not many Americans pitching up to watch it either.

We might look back on this joke of a tournament as the moment so called top level football disappeared up it’s own greedy backside.

[MK Iron]

Friendly at Bottesford on Friday 4th July so I’m guessing Monday 30th June.

Who’s ready for the annual identity the trialists game?

[MK Iron]

National League sides are often very strong in the air from corners, wide free kicks and long throws based on our season in that league.

At least one midfielder that is tall/strong in the air is always useful.

[MK Iron]

Agree Les. Best distribution of any keeper in my time by a margin.

Pretty decent at the other stuff.

[MK Iron]

Linnets fans facebook suggest he’s heading back there.

[MK Iron]

Done. 1st prediction is I will finish fairly close to Deery – assuming his above prediction is a good one.

I also have a pair of Iron tinted glasses like Sanfran. To be fair they have been nowhere near as damaging these last 2 seasons as they were the 5 seasons previous.

[MK Iron]

Where are our ITK posters when you need them?

[MK Iron]

Friendly?

[MK Iron]

Sunderland fan until the family moved to Scunny in 64. Saw the Iron beat the Cods on Boxing Day for my first game at the OSG. Suffering ever since

Still a soft spot for Sunderland though so will be watching with interest.

[MK Iron]

Cut it fine but he passed the test.

Well done Andy.

[MK Iron]

Nothing according to Butlers Humberside interview.

Everyone fit except Barrows, Beck and Roberts.

[MK Iron]

Tesco is 3 hours limit and I got fined £40 the day of the Peterborough game for being about 15 minutes over.

Number plate recognition and evidence photos in place. Gallagher retail park (B&Q, Next, Aldi etc.) has specific no football traffic signage.

30 minutes to get out of the car park might not be a bad idea. Street parking probably going to be half an hours walk away from 14:30 – 15:00.

[MK Iron]

Shrimpton played as well as any other Moors players and better than a few.

If the lad hadn’t missed the best chance of the first half that Shrimpton created and put on a plate for him the outcome might have been different.

Kai Corbett was probably Shots most creative player once he came on but you have to wonder why he was a sub in a middling to poor National League side.

[MK Iron]

There will be a load of tickets available from 4pm Monday when the none purchased season ticket slots are released.

For the Chorley game for example there were suddenly 300 DRE spaces in an area previously sold out. Many DRE regulars get a seat when they know visibility will be difficult in a sold out standing area.

There were also a surprising number of seated tickets released at the same time. Many (including me) do not book the season ticket seat as I want to sit with a different group so have gone elsewhere.

[MK Iron]

Everyone thought so but him apparently.

[MK Iron]

You can disagree with someone’s decisions without being disrespectful or abusive.

For some people (including 1 or 2 on here) being disrespectful and even abusive is a default response.

Agree and didn’t mean to suggest lack of effort.

More a lack of a plan or perhaps lack of belief in the plan.

I am not saying this to infer criticism of individuals or the team but if Butler and a number of the squad remain next season it needs to be addressed.

[MK Iron]

Forget formations although I still am still wondering in what universe playing 5 defenders for half the season against 5-4-1 or 4-5-1 is a good idea.

5 at the back or 4 we never found a way to play away games against the teams you are expected to beat.

Brackley are worthy champions because they did the business in the games they were expected to. Only lost 1 away game against the bottom 12. Drew a couple but won 9 of them. We lost 4 of them.

They got 29 out of the 36 on offer which is kind of what champions do.
We got 22 which is kind of what champions don’t do. Kidderminster and Chester both managed more points than us in away games against the bottom 12 than us. Anyone that went to a few away games will know exactly what I mean. Cautious, tentative and lethargic are how I would describe many of our away performances this season.
