Reading peoples comments about players sums up the off field leadership.
All you hear in post match interviews is “We knew what they were going to do” why ??
Do what we are going to do for the 90 and until that changes in and around the bottom 4 is the best you can expect.3 users thanked author for this post.
Said before those that want to go – then you go. Those like me who don’t does not mean we do not support the club.
But I am not putting another penny into wherever it goes !!
I have no trust in the leadership, we are being laughed at.4 users thanked author for this post.
I am not envious of Grimsby Town. John McAtee – perhaps one day we will find out what went on.
I am appalled at what has happened since 2013 at Scunthorpe United. How people with a plan were shown to be actually devoid of one. Then to maintain what someone called a gamble that didn’t quite work out !! Actually showed what poor gamblers they [ THE CLUB] were and then we got the news that ‘THE’ Club had run up debts of over £11 million pounds.
That recruitment over last 5 years is akin to the tactics of ‘KERPLUNK’ !!

Re: relegation this season: The jury is out as it is a little too early to call it. That said, the signs are not good, and we seem to be going backwards both on and off the pitch.
Swann and co. have a lot to answer for.
Well answers you will not get. There is only one hope.
But just what are Lillis, Musslewhite & McMahon allowed to do !!
If it is like last season not much.

So a player who has been out injured, rehabbed and after 11 weeks starts at RB when we have a RB who gets played at CB sums it all up with the crackpot targeting and formations by Mr Cox.

I don’t go anymore – that is down to Mr Swann.
On field matters solely down to Mr Cox and I don’t include any other member of the coaching staff in the situation.
Always said targeting is the death knell of aspiration and how evident. But is this the plan to drain any enthusiasm from the remaining supporters ?

Just read Mr Cox’s comments in today’s Telegraph [09/09].
Ventriloquist ? No
Comedian ? Yes1 user thanked author for this post.
Nothing, Cox has signed 2 players he believes are better. He can’t be blamed for that unless he’s proved wrong. IF he’s wrong and they are no better than Pugh he should only be blasted if he keeps picking them before Pugh anyway. He did say recently that Pugh was his first choice RB so room for all 3 you would think.
Let us look at the player judgement of Mr Cox – after 2 training sessions and a friendly he wanted KDT !!

Regrettably for those who go watch it is going to be a tortuous season.
We only just escaped last season, we will not escape 2 seasons running !
Can we stop conceding late goals, can we actually become an entertaining team – all depends on who is in charge. Because Mr Cox is not the man, I wasn’t that impressed after last season but his actions upon signing the 2 from championship clubs is despicable. players get opportunities based on the performance of others – What had Tom Pugh done wrong ???1 user thanked author for this post.
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.

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 !

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 !!

Can we say MANAGEMENT ?
This is the responsibility of the collective.
