    Thought it was worth a mention that Stuart Maw has recently tried to encourage Liverpool fans to participate in the draw. Not sure on the connection but regardless, his video has had over 50k views and looks to have persuaded people to participate.

    Good work!

    Did he link it to all the persons they recruited from us over the decades ?

    Dick White, Peter Robinson, Kevin Keegan, Ray Clemence. They did well.

    The fraudster brought Mr Dean in to fail. Mr Nelson should have stayed until the seasons end and I think we would have stayed up but that wasn’t wanted.

    Always liked Peter Wild when he was academy manager at Oldham. What he did at FC Halifax was outstanding, basically with little cash. We are a real project and I think suited for his methods, but not sure he would leave his latest rescue project – Barrow FC.

    The only person I would allow back of recent managers would be Michael Nelson. After that Peter Wild presently at Barrow to help rebuild.

    It is not just about the wins. It is the manner of defeats. Over many seasons I have gone to some games knowing a win was remote but I knew that the team would fight from front to back, they would sweat blood by the end.

    Was brought in by David the Fraudster to do a job. Did the 1st part with ease – we got relegated.

    The 2nd part – you decide.

    All part of his master plan perhaps ? Alienate all the players, get them to leave and leave the club unable to field a team.

    Bye Bye Scunthorpe United !!

    I am going for a 2-0 win for Scunny, although Brackly have won their last 3 games, they were against two teams that are badly out of form, and Scunthorpe will be a different task for them, and they had lost their previous three matches, it is a game that we must win.

    We cannot set out for a draw, or we will then be seven points adrift of Tamworth who we play next week, 5 points adrift wi with a game in hand would not be too bad.

    We are more than capable of winning all our games. Provided we play OUR game without overthinking all scenarios. So stop over elaboration, to me to you passing. Get the passing accurate and sharp and forward at pace.

    It will be exciting IF we want it to be. What has concerned people over several other matches is how the balance and approach of the team changes when some substitutions happen.

    I hope that Fitz gets replaced.

    He has no idea how to intercept a cross and wanders around the penalty area with no idea where he is when he needs to get back in position. Added to that, his kicking is mainly poor. We need better.

    It is a team game, all are responsible. If as some say FITZ was not at his best then others need to give a bit more cover to him. With Shrimpton, I saw some prem league players yesterday clearing into row z or as far up field as possible, so others do it.

    We need better ! All teams do but in our case nearly 4 months ago this club was on the verge of total collapse. Michelle Harness and her group saved the club BETTER will only happen once all the debts are cleared – and they were left with a lot. Then stability has be the next stage to attain while trying to be competitive.

    It is going to take time.

    In recent years any that got anywhere near a decent fee earned we managed to give away.

    We have to start developing 1 or 2 a season and strengthen the club. Got to to do this from next season.

    As the top scorer in the NLN, what’s he worth?
    I wonder if anyone has had a look at him and thought – yeah, why not?

    What anyone is prepared to offer for him. But do we want to sell ?

    As we are for now as stability is far more important.

    If we had a feeder team I would look for it to be an U19 format, more like a reserve team where we can see trialists on a regular basis.

    Commercial staff, the right calibre of staff, would be a net gain for the club, it’s their job to do so. Getting the right people back with the right connections would be a huge benefit and probably increase the playing budget.

    Would imagine James Moody would love some help, he and his small group did a phenomenal job with no fraud anywhere about !!

    Would think Ironawe is spot on with the increase in revenue.

    Well it gives someone the opportunity to claim the position. As we enter the 2nd half of the season stability in forward selection must happen, players need to build the links.

    No Iron Awe let’s get the debts cleared and the club stable.

    Next season’s budget has already been set taking into account the financial plan set in place to clear the debt according to the report on Humberside at the time Dean spoke about next seasons budget.

    I know the budget has been set. And the level will be known when the retained list is released.

    But CBRP where will our budget be ?

    This board have to target stability as a priority so what we may need and what can afford could differ. So I would like for fighters who give 100% – thought Jai Rowe was a battler and it hurt him when he saw some not taking defeat seriously. I put Tom in that category.

    Patience will be a priority for sure. If we get promoted is their any monies due from the National League ?

    Haven’t picked up why Smith and Roberts were absent. Roberts still carrying a knock? Smith ….??

    Roberts got a slight ankle knock so they would not risk him and Mr Smith was a car tyre blowout – no idea when he would arrive so Beestin was going too have a few minutes from the bench started. They reckon Conor arrived near to 1.30.

    It hasn’t been confirmed that Smith is staying so Tom Pugh may get recalled as I am sure budget constraints may be in force. Tom is a good lad and will do the job given in midfield. Playing him at FB was not a good idea.

    Coulson was a clever signing by Farsley. Very experienced striker at this level and a goalscorer. He won’t pass up on a shot that is for sure.

    Farsley added an experienced head in the forwards – Michael Coulson. Doesn’t need inviting twice to have a shot so will need to be up for a challenge.

    Team talk needs to be that we are going at them from first whistle. Players into space for the ball that is on its way.

    Treat the game as a season ending game and a win is a must.
