    Seems Wood and Hackney will play no matter what. That is based on Mr Cox’s post match interview with Mike White that they haven’t come to sit on the the bench !!

    Yet again another player Tom Pugh having helped out as a temporary RB despite having 1 in Rowe (baffling). Then settling in midfield and showing what he is capable in his own position deserving of the shirt and surprise surprise – he gets dropped. Yet some of last seasons mediocrity get in no matter what.

    Where is Mason O’Malley these days ??

    Tom Pugh – what has he done to get dropped ? But it was what I expected Mr Cox to do.

    Should kick them out for 5 yrs with a further 5 yrs suspended. 1 Euro breach and the extra 5 yrs to be added without right of appeal.

    2 in, like several I can see 2 going on loan. But which 2. His favourites will say which means………

    With Rowe already looking as though he is not in favour which is baffling. Why does he see him as a CB does that mean he sees a CB as a winger.

    How many different line-ups this season already ? 352 or 5311 seems the attacking plan !!

    Scrimshaw and Covid ? The Cox comment did not seem to mean that.

    KDT – pay him off, it won’t save money because no one will take him he is getting paid and he won’t leave it appears. Was a signing based on a couple of training sessions and efforts in a friendly !! Research seemed lacking, look at the level he had played at !!

    How do you loan a player out who has not played a game because the person who wanted him (stated by Peter Swann on Radio Humberside) now doesn’t even give him a game !

    Scrimshaw ? Where was he on saturday and what exactly did Mr Cox mean when he was asked about his absence ?

    Is it 1 or 2 that could be in, isn’t there some clause about taking a player who is in an age group at his parent club (sorry a bit vague but EFL clauses at time are a bit vague).

    One improvement is people are more guarded in the words they use.

    I mean when was the last time the threat of a solicitors letter made !

    Over the years Scunthorpe United developed a reputation of battlers who despite the odds against any level opponent never quit.

    Now expectation of progress is minimal at best.

    Lord Kitchener.

    Small correction for you but several of those released were NEVER allowed to show any interest. They never got a chance. Mr Cox kept picking the same failures and some of those are still being selected this season. I do know that one player was due to go on loan last january was asked to stay because he was wanted for the 1st team. He did and was never spoken to again !!

    And just to add something for you to consider – Why did Joey Dawson refuse to stay ?

    You are correct Sanfran, the League team will still consist of Hippo, Green, Rowe and party, the young guys will probably get a couple of ten minute periods during the season.

    Some faces fit and some don’t !!

    All depends if experience is used to their benefit.

    Not sure it will.

    I believe the Ground & training had something like £5 mill as the price to buy it.

    The other real estate one would imagine fits anothers plan !

    The club may not be a sleeping giant but it could do a damn sight better than this and I am sure fans would support a new regime who wants to be involved with the fans and off field revenues would increase appreciably.

    Or is that the fear factor – that someone could actually make something of it.

    He wanted the club, he made the statements such as ‘trust us’ ‘ the club is safe’ and seem to remember ‘never in debt’ !!

    You want it Mr Swann then act like it, if you are bored then put it up for sale.

    I am sure as an astute businessman you could work a deal out to the mutual benefit of all.

    Never mind a new scouting system. Get rid of what is there now !

    There are a lot of people who would come and help new leadership. Get back to actually treating supporters with respect and communicating with them.

    Problem could be someone will want the ground as well.

    Would that fit into someones super plan ?

    Hope someone does make a move and SOON, may not be much but I guarantee I will renew my season ticket in support of the new owner.

    Post match by Cox summed it up. “This is a young squad, an inexperienced squad . They are learning” !!
    How many times was that rubbish trotted out !!

    Yet again he selects the failures of last season, he sets up a negative formation and from what I was told the substitutions were a joke.

    Probably doing the job the chairman wants, any guesses on the next home gate ???

    Seems Jake had a 7 hr journey so probably the right thing.

    It will be the other decisions that will decide things.

    When Butroid played he rarely had coverage from anyone on the left.
    Perry is getting game time whereas Hornshaw did not in his own position.

    Late on in a game if you need a battering ram up top to take pressure of then give Fin Shrimpton a chance. Would work well with Jessop, Wilson & Pugh.

    I realise Fin would be out of position but he will upset defenders.

    Personally I would have all 3 back – 2 playing and 1 coaching.

    We still signed players who are not as good as these 2 who were released.
