I shouldn’t complain as we need signings but centre back is the only area of the pitch where we have decent players.

We lost Bedeau and McGahey, so two out, one in sounds sensible. Onariase, Taft and Davis as CBs is a reasonable platform.

We need to replace KvV and Olomola with a decent goal scorer and Eisa and Gilliead with wide man who can deliver a good cross.

And then there’s the keeper…!

Another ex-Iron gone to Bradford.

Yann Songo’o joined the Bantams today.

It’ll probably be more like 1st April!

Just a bump to say how great it was to see both England and Germany united in “taking to the knee” last night.

Also nice to see Neuer and Kane wearing rainbow captain’s armbands for Pride Month.

Well done all round.

[Northumbiron]

Bremner & Giles would have been proud!

this Leeds lad, Phillips?, was our main playmaker?
Was he playing?

If you were German you’d have known he was playing!

Saka was taken off because he was getting his arse kicked by their defenders.

Sterling still makes too many wrong decisions, but not as many as Timo Werner!

Grealish changed things, part assist for the first and assist for the second goal,

Leaving the one man who can make things happen on the bench for 70 minutes is either stupidly or genius!

At 6’2″ can he play in goal?

France ground their way to the last World Cup, it seems a reasonable model to follow!

Also an example of what happens when your wonder kid doesn’t score!

Has he applied for one of the catering jobs?

Would tend to agree.

Since we said goodbye to the likes of Madden, Wallace, Townsend, Holmes & Morris the players that have come in have combined to achieve a lower finish than the previous season each time.

That includes most of the ones we’ve released this summer including Gilliead, Eisa, McGahey & Bedeau.

It also includes a few Dom Vose types like, Dales, Olomola & Mooney.

Who’s to say we’d have done any better had they stayed?

The problem we have is the sheer volume of outgoings compared to the dearth of new arrivals. That, and knowing that at least half of those still under contract are not EFL standard.

Pity McMahon isn’t coming in as a replacement for the club clown Cox!!

Hmm!

Ten games in, Cox and Lillis sacked, McMahon given manager’s job with new U18s coach as assistant.

Method in the madness?

[Northumbiron]

He’s been there before.

Gilliead, Eisa, Sutton, Novak.

We didn’t exactly set the league alight when we had them.

Will be interesting to see how they perform under Adams.

[Northumbiron]

Bartonscorpion will be pleased.

Think you’re looking at the wrong end of the table Ferrite!

Indeed.

They will have bought into Oldham’s sales pitch.

“We’re a bigger club than L2. We are aiming for promotion this season, and establishing ourselves as a Championship side in 3/4 years time”.

Remember when we could do that?

[Northumbiron]

If Swanny can’t relieve our anxieties then perhaps UTI99 could explain what’s happening.

He/she appears to be the only one who’s unconcerned.

Unless there’s anyone else out there who thinks it’s all hunky-dory!

[Northumbiron]

The SUFC official newsletter than just landed in my inbox is pathetic.

Season tickets are now on sale. Really?

Next season’s fixtures in full. Yeah they were automatically synced to my iPhone yesterday!

Anything on our new signing? No!

Anything on future signings? No!

Anything on league debutants Sutton United? No!

Anything on the new kits? Ha ha ha!

It’s to do with confidentiality Les, UTI99 said so!

Has Big J ever been to Germany? Cos he’s talking bollocks!

It’s fine. Just a quicker way to be disappointed every month.

August?

Opening game of the 82/83 season and I took my newly wed bride to Victoria Park to witness a storming 0-0!

Close on forty years later and it remains the only ever Iron match she’s attended!

[Northumbiron]

Just knew Hartlepool away would be in winter!

Bet ” passionate, brave Scotland ” would have settled for that.

Ha,ha! Indeed.

A bit like “Braveheart” which was a load of old guff too!

Concerned that Kane looks leggy and Rashford doesn’t seem any better. Bet Southgate is ruing the decision not to include Ollie Watkins or Patrick Bamford.

[Northumbiron]

Expect a letter in the post later this week I-A!

[Northumbiron]

So we really have learned nothing from last season the past three seasons then.

A slight edit ‘tash!
