You should never slag off your players in public. The dressing room or better still the training pitch is the place for that.
I still can’t believe Tango man’s demolition of his Kidderminster team last season which cost his club promotion and him his job.
Fergie saved the hairdryer for the dressing room. If players don’t know themselves when they have fecked up then they are probably the wrong players.Boston paid Harrogate £200k for Cursons according to a group of their fans I was talking to before the game.
That’s probably why we are shopping in th subsidised wages loanees bucket.One of those teams thought it was an important derby game as they always do.
The other team didn’t as they usually do.1 user thanked author for this post.
Shows I’m getting old Awaywego.
My memory says the ground was much more rammed for the Arsenal game.Jimmy’s boss was very approachable and talkative too. Just couldn’t believe a word he said.
Seem to recall 16 or 17 thousand reported for the Arsenal league Cup tie. Don’t think the Newcastle replay was that high given it was a midweek afternoon. Got a right bollocking from British Steel for skipping the afternoon at college.
In the unlikely event of the turkeys voting for Christmas they would not change the rules for this season.
It would not be fair for the additionally relegated club.It’s Iron by the way rootshallbloke – Iron’s are that dodgy bunch from the London Stadium just up the road from you.
As your not from a lower division you might struggle for a result Saturday.I think we are at the stage where 3 home wins would probably be the best outcome for us.
Let Rochdale and York fight it out for automatic promotion whilst we close in on third place. Home semi final with a Wembley date for the winner would be great.

Goal every other game and second highest goals per minutes played in the National League this season.
Can be a bit of an arsehole but he’s our arsehole and every other team in our league would welcome him.8 users thanked author for this post.
He got a fair amount at Glanford Park at times.
They look pretty bad live.
Back to Back (5) then. Oh Dear!
I always knew a back 5 had it’s benefits, I just didn’t know what they were.
Magnificent first half performance, more please.I think for the first time that was a genuine back 3 which is a very positive system. Previous incarnations have been a back 5.
A back 5 leaves your midfield exposed whereas a back 3 allows you to dominate a decent midfield.
Well done to Andy and the whole team but particularly the back 3.3 users thanked author for this post.
Not surprised Starbuck has been given a rest. He had a poor game on Saturday.
Looks like he’s parking the bus and hoping for a bit of Roberts magic.Carlton struggles trying to play as a centre forward. He has a poor first touch and is not great in the air.
He has genuine pace, works his ass off and is OK at covering defensively.
Ideal attributes for a wide forward.
Why do we keep playing him/bringing on as a centre forward?3 users thanked author for this post.
Come on Oli, sign that contract.

Replaced by debt to the current directors?
Brings to mind away matches at Wolves and Southend. Both night games called off just as we were going to leave the pub for the grounds.
Only the the very lightest of frost on both evenings so were as surprising as they were annoying particularly the Wolves one as they had undersoil heating. Maybe they didn’t switch it on while they were in the Championship.
Delighted he’s finally got there matching his undoubted ability with some hard work. If the Penny had dropped 10 years ago what could he have achieved?

Another month loan for Mahady. Shame it’s not until the end of the season but good news all the same.
Thought he would become a very good player for us when he first arrived. Possibly even go higher and earn us a few quid.
That was with thinking he would learn who to pass to and when to pass it to go with his great energy and attitude. Sadly he is still pretty much the same player that arrived here. Still, never let us down and hope the regular games help him for the future.Took Butler 4 or 5 months to realise he didn’t have the players to play his preferred formation. Amorim never did. Feel for the ordinary folks that shell out a massive amount of money each week to watch their club being mismanaged by idiots but you can’t help but laugh at the idiots themselves.
Straight into the starting line-up for Beck.
One of Butlers biggest achievements is he gets 100% from every player in the squad every game whatever their skill level.
The last thing this squad needs is a player that chooses his games or even minutes in games when he does that.1 user thanked author for this post.
I saw it slightly differently Cass. I thought the front 3 and Roberts were fairly static for much of the match and the midfield were often short of forward options. Ewing was caught in possession much more often than usual and all 3 were spinning regularly looing for options before having to pass it back to Boyce.
Situation was made worse a Gateshead packed the middle defensively making space hard to find.The obvious outballs forward were to the full backs out wide which we used quite often but Denton and Starbuck demonstrated their limitations going forward. They are both very decent full backs defensively but neither are very good passers or crossers of the ball. Denton particularly turns down opportunities to cross or pass forward and takes a short sideways or backwards pass to teammates in less promising positions.

2 banana skins this week.
We don’t have a great record of avoiding them at this time of year. If we can I reckon the best calendar year for the Iron since we used to be parked at the right end of League 1.
2 points a game over the season has got you at least top 3 over the last 10 years. Usually top 2 and occasionally automatic promotion.
Toughest professional league to get out of – at the right end.
Unless 2 or 3 high fliers unexpectedly have a serious dip in form were going to have to maintain 2 points a game to guarantee a playoff place.
It’s a pain when your team keeps winning and you have to find some random sh1te to fall out over.

No problem you being a legal immigrant in Thailand IFA. Nor do I have a problem with the estimated 95% of immigrants that come here legally.
