Hope Fin and Tom are here for 2024/2025 season. Both show they are more than capable when selected by someone who knows what they are doing.
Fit and hard working.

What happened to Clarke and Corbett ?
Then having not played a goalkeeper as a sub ALL season in a must win game he picks one and reduces his playing options from the bench. Sadly I think that showed his negativity and it will not improve.

It is NOT James Moodys job to make statements. He does as instructed by Michelle and the Board.
He does an incredible job and in its darkest hour did everything possible to keep this club within the rules, the previous deadbeat owner deserted him and the staff.

Over the decades, in fact from the 1960’s Scunthorpe United has suffered with fickle fans.
It will happen again so damage limitation must be looked at. It is great that some have been motivated to return but they also want to see entertaining football. They want to see their team want to win games and not look to draw games !
1 striker at home is not acceptable.There is a lot of goodwill out there, now is not the time ignore it.

I believe Mr Whoever he was brought him in to fail and we went into NLN. I also think the plan was working for the “Do you remember Scunthorpe United ? What season did they disappear ?
Luckily Michelle and the others who joined the board thought on their feet and tapped into the fans enthusiasm. JD kept his job but to maintain the fans enthusiasm a rethink is needed and the attitude of the football become more entertaining, attacking. I don’t think the present management team can do it.

If it happens or if it doesn’t we need to play we’re going to score one more than you football. No negative one up top rubbish,let’s set our stall out from the off and if Jimmys learnt owt from this season then I would back him but if not he will have to be replaced by ? . The board will decide.
But has he learned. Judging all the comments the first half we dealt with them, he even said that. Substitutions and the timing of – yet again said same old same old !
He put a team out against a team that earlier in the week had played 120 minutes, he had square pegs in round holes and having played all season with one keeper listed he puts a new recruit on the bench and reduced his replacement options. Where was Pugh or Corbett – that could have been the option that was required.
1 striker at home is a certain NO and criminal in a must win game that could have then boosted the fortunes with a promotion that many thought would never happen again if the club had disappeared.

Everyone has the same thought. I have listened to many of his interviews – it is painful, all I get is we seem to set up to deal with opponents home or away.
1 up front is a disgrace and the management have not dealt with one of the most basic needs of any player – how many people mention the poor quality passing. If they struggle with that there is no chance. Team selection seems hit and miss and so many say there is no plan B assuming there is a plan A.
Hope the board read many fans comments they cannot be all wrong.

First decision is how will the fans respond if JD is retained ?
Second is who will decide on those players offered a new contract, then search out new signings.
Personally we need a clearout and the new manager assemble a squad, that person must know this level but has the talent to progress to a higher level.

What is wrong with CLARKE and CORBETT ? All season we have played without a keeper on the bench, so today he does and we lose an extra outfield player ?
Many have said that JD had no plan B, are you sure he had a plan A ?
New leadership needed and a clearout.

Promotion is good. It helps in the marketing of the club for the board and the promotions teams in the back office.
As far as we know we think 18 are OOC, perhaps some deals have been done but not announced. The budget has to be less because the board need to reverse outgoings to protect the club. In the coaching side I would consider only Andy Butler to remain. If we are having a new manager then they must be involved in recruitment so I wonder if an appointment has already been made who has suggested who stays and who could be recruited.
Certainly there will be buzz from this seasons final whistle. Best to all Supporters.

The biggest danger to US is US. Brackley & Chorley will scrap for everything providing we don’t treat either Alfreton or Boston with disrespect.
Imperative that we enter each game with our best team available and tactics to make opponents cope with us and no tippy tappy chuckle brothers football. I hope JD realises any game now is sudden death ! There will not be a second chance.
