Has to be Barrie for me. It’s his birthday on the 19th. He was electric. A mention too for Terry Heath, what a player he was. UTWI
2 great picks there. Terry Heath would have run every game today, when he played The Iron did. RIP
Can I add ‘Pancho’ Cassidy – best header of a ball I have seen, so much flair. RIP
Why it has taken so long to sink in – for whatever reason for 442 has delivered more for us at home.
Just look at the spell when 352 0r 532 was inflicted on fans. This resulted in the playoffs.Stick to what works and don’t get clever with the game plan. Carlton arrived with a niggling injury and then a system that didn’t suit was used. Now the system fits the players – playing to strengths works.
Best for the final.

Shows little ambition. Should have done far better with what was at his disposal.
Fails to motivate playing staff to improve basics.Overall poor performance should a change of career be considered.

Waiting to see if they have devised a way for the trust to raise funds on a monthly basis that will yield a seat on the board.
Prefer any extra of my money going this way in light of the debacle with the FC concoction ! How long had talks been going on and who made contact with who first ? Even more wary hearing the possible stepping back of Michelle.

Well Mr Butler got his contract extension in October 2024, but can imagine there are clauses where termination could occur.

In recent seasons we have had young players who deserved the same opportunity of game time that average loanees have had and even now players have been released and players no better [or worse] brought in !
What we lost was their love for the club that gave them a chance, now so many say some players do not seem to care. At least they would battle !
I have always backed ‘homegrown’ and always will. People used to complain about Lewis Butroid – how many LB’s have we has since he left ? When he was playing he rarely got help from the wide mid like others got.

Everyone says virtually the same. Cannot imagine the pressure she was under and you cannot carry that weight for long.
Best to her if and when.

Risk as a sub on Friday or have available for the last 2 – Mr Butler has a tough decision to make.
Caution and counter attacking should not be our approach, it is time to be brave.

Said before “Fortune Favours the Brave” – we have to set the standard in these last 3 games.
Wins are the priority, no over complication – get the ball, make moves off the ball, make positive passes to the runners and finish the move in as few moves as possible.

I like Fin and i too hope hes with the Iron next season (if Spenny down sign him).. could fell feature prominently for us in NLN after some of our current first teamers have jumped ship.
Fin has shown he is more capable when given a run of games. I want him to stay and get the same opportunities that others got that forced his loan but then they showed the bench was their only option.

The supporters have been let down so far – they had better get this right !
For one of the most sensible and reasonable posters on this site, I’m very surprised to read this sort of entitled rubbish. Supporters don’t “deserve” anything, our support is not conditional.
We’d all like to have steamrollered every side we came across, won every game, been 15 points clear and all that stuff. But if last season didn’t teach you that the division is harder than expected (whatever the quality of football) and that it’s a real grind to get out of, then you weren’t paying attention.
But it is made harder when someone is so stubborn they stick to a format that was not working !
He adopted the philosophy of some we can win and the others we will try to draw. A defeatist mindset.
I hope for the fans that we do go up automatically because the play-offs demand scrapping for everything.1 user thanked author for this post.
Would be harsh on Fin to bring him back, not use him maybe just a sub, get promoted then release him at the end of the season. Never thought Fin got a proper chance under Butler and he will be gone at season end IMO, hope he stays at Spennymoor and does well for them next season.
Our budget may force them to keep Fin and give him a chance because it shows that he is more than capable when you see what he has achieved while Spennymoor.
So many times people write the ‘Fin’s’ off way too early and we produce nothing season after season and fewer younger players consider us as a career path. Loof at Kyle Wootton div 1 and comfortable at that level – us we gave him away.
