Support your manager. If a decision needs to be made I am sure Mr Butler will make it.

This is probably why a no.2 not yet signed. Needs to be a bit above a rookie/untested keeper who can step up if so required.

Besides a chance to display your football knowledge ! This also helps IronBru – YOUR independent Fans Forum in its operating costs.

And now the Forum sponsors a players 1st team kit – Cal Roberts again I think.

So come on join in and enjoy this frustrating fun.

Interesting to hear that Conor Smith came down from Scotland to support the team. Seems his club want a fee for something loan or buy.

Need to get the New Shirts on sale – that will boost reserves.

Munoz I think plays LB, but no idea who he is. That must be the pint sized Llama sitting fella in the Loughton Woods Picture.

No, this isn’t from Football manager, but from Mino Raiola. One of footballs biggest super agents. I was sent over individual dossiers on each player sent to me as PDF files.

Well in AB’s post match with Ollie looking to bring in another keeper, a Mo Fadera type for the left and a RB.

[Sanfran49]

Mr Butler says another keeper is not a no2 – he is there to challenge who has the starting spot.

We have had some in for a look and will be looking at others but there will be another keeper for season start.

[Sanfran49]

I am in. Bring it on.

[Sanfran49]

Well with Max K now moving on I think we need 4 to 4 more.

A back up Keeper. 1 RB, 1 CB, Left wide player and or another attack mid player.

[Sanfran49]

The manager has made a decision so back your keeper.

[Sanfran49]

Lund did like ‘chatting’ with the ref !

And Oliver Rose listed as a Centre Back by Peterborough, so there is your CB and a right back cover.

If he wants a longer deal then he needs to negotiate. As with Cal Roberts he has to feel happy with his decision.

Cal said “the grass isn’t always greener” – and many have realised to late, yes would be a shame but such is life. Agree about Hartlepool – there does seem to be a sudden exodus.

Mr Butler will have an alternative if needs be.

[Sanfran49]

What about the lad that was at Farsley at the end. On loan from somewhere and everyone rated him even after all the defeats.

[Sanfran49]

Owen Foster was released by Hull City.

[Sanfran49]

1 Attack Mid, 1 [clunan like], a Mo Fadera type, Another keeper but we don’t know if Campbell will be 1st choice so perhaps a Prem Lge prospect season long loan.

But we may need more if others choose to move on.

[Sanfran49]

When he joined us wasn’t he part time at Kings Lynn ? He is 31 he has to think what comes next and as a qualified accountant probably look to build up this side of his life again. Less travelling time would also added pressure.

Good luck to him, did what was wanted of him here and SUFC back into the National League.

[Sanfran49]

That is a great amount to raise. When everyone joins the prediction league that will be a serious amount of sponsorship.

I think Braintree were formed 1 year after us and have always had the name ‘The Iron’ . Could be an interesting legal case ahead because wasn’t Scunthorpe United at one time known as ‘The Knuts’ before changing its name ?

[Sanfran49]

If he deserves that then Kevin Sinfield should be placed in the House of Lords.

Will make payment in the usual way Matt. Will add a bit to the £15 – you decide where you want to place it.

Looking forward to it although I will admit my expectation of an IRON win in every game will cost me dear.

[Sanfran49]

442 or 433 works for us, other derivations usually leaves it looking like 721 does not. We cannot afford the players with the technical ability to play such ways and our level management should stick to subbuteo for such visions.

Get a system for start of season and stick to it. No chuckle brother style and with players who can pass the ball. And see what happens.

[Sanfran49]

A good keeper. Gave the defenders confidence knowing he could do his job and would.

RIP Mr Crawford. Sympathy to his family, friends and colleagues.

[Sanfran49]

Look back over the years and for whatever reason the most successful formation on this pitch in claret & blue needs to be with a 4 across the back.

A 5 very quickly becomes ultra defensive and we become unable to get out of it, so don’t even risk it.

[Sanfran49]

As regards negotiations Michelle did say that Mr Butler has his budget and he is in control – the only time she would get involved is when AB and player have agreed the terms and then she will check it and sign if acceptable.

Players do need to know what their role would be. No point having players who excite crowds if the manager intends boring opponents to death with tippy tappy rubbish.

If he start with 5 at the back he has learnt absolutely nothing.

Then the longer he plays it will determine how badly we will do.
