    He is on loan for the rest of the season Bhuna their webpage say’s so, I’m with the Altrincham fan who said we announced only a month deal just to appease our fans.

    Aye, and a bloke in our local said Newcastle had made an agreement with Real Madrid to sign Mbappe!

    Rest of the season because he has a bad attitude? The Chinese whispers that is Social Media.

    Or is Dec the new Bobby Grant?

    If we have to send players out on loan because we can’t give them game time then our squad is too big, not too small!

    To play 100 games you have to be in that division for at least three years (assuming playoffs don’t count).

    We could have been the top of the NLN Ton Table but we only stayed there two years.

    The only thing that table shows is that the league is a bloody difficult one to get out of.

    Can’t afford to play in the fourth division? Jeez!

    Not quite sure about the Carlton/Roberts swap but the cognoscenti on here were saying Ewing should be dropped.

    York stronger and half a yard sharper. Iron wasteful and wayward.

    Had a decent spell of possession midway through the second half then Mahady decides to go play fullback. Shame as he’d made two good saves to prevent certain goals earlier.

    And do we have a plan of attack other than to wait for the opposition to make an error?

    All looking a bit disjointed!

    I don’t for one minute believe that professional footballers stop trying once “the objective has been met”!

    Their form dips, sure, particularly when they’ve been playing out of their skin for two dozen games. Ewing needs some time out to regain his early season form but AB seems loathe to drop him.

    Perhaps if Brogan and Scales were still in the building he”d have better cover in midfield.

    Dawson out now. I just don’t get the deal with loans both in and out.

    We can only recall Howe if there’s a recall agreement in place.

    Initial month I believe so that’s up next weekend.

    With the players we have Butler should be able to change from a 4-3-3 to 4-4-2 as and when the need arises.

    Not that difficult.

    Yes, had fought point. Disappointed with Dale. Considering the are in the box seat they looked very average.

    Once again too many aimless punts forward and misplaced passes.

    Not quite sure what happened with their penalty? Did Dieseruvwe touch it?

    With just one automatic spot and six clubs thrown into the mix via the heavily seeded playoff lottery it was always going to be a big ask get out of this division at the first time of asking.

    Six or seven ex EFL clubs wanting to get back there and at least four are going to have to wait until next season.

    Who knows, next year it may be three up. The cliche “it’s a marathon, not a sprint” seems particularly appropriate at the moment. And it looks like we may have hit “the wall”!

    A draw would have been a fair result. Bit of a howler from Mahady for their first and poor defending from the corner for the second. No complaints about their third as we were all up there in search of the equaliser.

    Big problem tonight was the number of times we gave the ball away cheaply. Need to cut that out.

    Always a big ask tonight and just the fourth defeat in 29 games, so not too shabby.

    Was at St James Park (Gallowgate End) for the original tie. Should have won. A certain Neil Warnock had an open goal to aim at but narrowly missed the corner flag!

    Remember being at the Fox St end for the Arsenal game but don’t recall being bothered by the rain. I guess kids were tougher in those days!

    I just don’t get the timing, if we announced someone inwards at the same time great but we’re now heading into a crucial game on a pitch which saps energy and we’ve made our bench much weaker. Why not send him out Monday if at all.

    Unless Smith is Howe’s replacement?

    Unfortunately though it doesn’t look like R*form are going anywhere soon.

    With the Tory Party’s biggest gobshites defecting to them on a daily basis it seems to be turning into some sort of Frankenstein’s monster.

    “It’s alive!” Shrieks Dr Farage.

    Now where are those villagers with their pitchforks and torches?

    What exactly is he here for? He’s had so much good will from Iron fans and consistently lets us down.I can’t see the point of putting him in when we need it to stick up top late in games when the opposition throws the kitchen sink at us .Sadly not good enough

    This is the OP (Original Post)!
