The point I was making about pugh is the fact pugh is not a fullback,we signed millen for that role but should have signed 2 proper rightbacks not just the one,we got Thompson to challenge omalley for the left back role but only one rightback a strange decision in my humble opinion, so if you are going to use players as makeshift fullbacks it’s not fair on them,hornshaw played rightback last season and its not his normal midfield position just like pugh and look what happened to him he’s now at Gainsborough I believe, opposition teams aren’t stupid they see our weakness and play on it.

They do and judging by the post match interview with humbersides Mike White the buck stops with Mr Cox, it was like a re-run of all the interviews last season for goodness sake.

ps: Lewis Butroid didn’t get a game last season and then released, anyone telling me the replacements have been an improvement ? We got rid of Kyle Wootton – are his replacements an improvement and the best decision of our managerial experts that after spending 4 years developing a 19yr old CB we then sell for next to nothing and how many replacements have we signed since then that are nowhere near good enough !

Look where we are !

[Sanfran49]

So yet again someone who was played out of position gets criticised – Tom Pugh is not a FB !
Doesn’t that sound familiar Hornshaw got sacrificed and no thanks for doing the job !!

Last season Jai Rowe was injured but this season he isn’t so why didn’t he start ?
At Left Back why didn’t Mason O’Malley start ?

The managers after match he said Green wasn’t well so why was he even out there ?

Long season ahead I fear for you.

Indeed. 2019/20 average home gates..

Notts County 5.210
Stockport County 4.342
Wrexham AFC 4.057
Chesterfield FC 3.670

Scunthorpe United 3.546

Our gates reflect the interest shown by Mr Swann to the opinions and ideas offered by the supporters. We have all seen the on field decay of pitch ability and after three successful seasons the target must have been achieved whereby so many supporters have given up.

Last season the managers after match interview that followed defeat after defeat summed it up. I didn’t go yesterday so will not comment on players performances but the manager saying players did what they wanted and ignored instructions sums it up ! No one is in charge and that is after 1 game !!

Best wishes to all supporters sincerely hope you leave the ground with a smile and boosted optimism.

In just over 24 hours from this post I will be able to read comments & opinions.

Team selection – nothing to do with me as I will not be there. But someone asked about Cam Wilson left or right. In the U18s and the few U23 games he played on the right. Early days for him, let him learn his trade where he is comfortable. But he will not let you down.

[Sanfran49]

I will not be making the 8.4 mile return trip.

Any ideas people suggest are totally ignored, why – because someone doesn’t like it if people are proved right !!

I expect no difference this season. Statements made this season already make no sense regarding the playing side.

Best to the fans.

He is right here Sanfran, hope you are ok yourself pal, have you got your season ticket or are you also wanting a break??, I am not bothering with a season ticket, but will attend a game or two during the season, but will not commit to the full season, but after 13 years in that I32 Cluggy stand seat, it will be a big change for me, but the past three seasons have been a real tester for all Scunny fans, and for now Sanfran, enough is enough, but hope to see you some time, so take care and good luck to you and all remaining supporters.

It is nice to see a few of my (friends) ha ha!, are missing me, but I have not been on the Forum much, simply because I have not a lot to say really, take care guys and lets hope for a good season!!!!!!

Pleased to hear from you BS. No season ticket for me – said I would not and will not attend another game while Peter Swann is in control. Do you remember his words at that 1st fans forum where he said the club would never be in debt ? That should he leave the club would be in a stronger position ?

Anyway – PREDICTION LEAGUE – you doing it this season ?

I hope you get to see a lot more of Cameron Wilson, he was impressive when he first appeared in the U18s – he was from the U16s at the time.

KDT’s head & shoulders pic has disappeared, at the moment just his name. Another excellent 2 year contract awarded – how much of the £11 million debt came from that inspired signing ??

[Sanfran49]

What has happened to the ICON that allowed opportunity to see others predictions.

To those who haven’t joined yet – we miss you. The club might not be interested in the fans YOUR FORUM is. Matt needs as many as possible to help in the operational costs.

‘lesgeo’

Watched Cameron Wilson in his 1st year in the U18s and when he joined the U23 squad.
He always had that commitment and competitive edge. Is not a ‘dirty’ player but he he will stand his ground. Loves to attack players can shoot with either foot plus takes good and on target free kicks.

I would hope that those who are going this season get quite a few chances to see him. Other teams give chances and bigger clubs get to see how they cope before making a move. Tom Pugh will always give you 100%.

Sorry I didn’t make myself clear enough, the 6 or so to go out on loan are to make room for the 3 or 4 still needed to strengthen the matchday squad. Possibly those 3 triallists plus a keeper and we’ll be OK.

I think 1 trialist may be a loan player, they are still listed as in their U18 squad with photo.

The car park is now £5.00 !!

Mind you with the drop in season ticket sales, which will lead to lower gates coupled with lower footfall in the hospitality units ( now that is a good one, just realised Hospitality !! Tell me where).

The extra £2 will make a huge difference won’t it !!

I believe the figure to be higher then most on here think. I have spoken to 2 different people in the office and although no figures were given to me they both said season tickets had gone really well with people looking forward to seeing live football again. As I said no numbers given but the women in the office seemed genuine in what they said.

No employee would say anything that contradicts the figure they are told !!

They wouldn’t dare !!

[Sanfran49]

Also saw that, age confused me a little.

Condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. Knew how to run a football club.

[Sanfran49]

Masterminding a disaster it appears if the figure is anywhere near that.

Pay on the day / Last minute walk – ups are now going to be greatly reduced as the club announce with 3 weeks to go the club has gone CASHLESS !! Now isn’t that a gem.

Fighting for every penny and we tell people don’t bring your cash, in recent days I have seen where non-league(lower than the National League !) announcing season ticket sales of a 1000 or more and their normal admission are £18 – £20 a game ! Which is not that different.

Cox said there’s scope to sign 7 on perm deals. Thompson and Bunn will make that 5 so enough room then for an out and out striker and one winger/striker.

Gk and CM on loans. Cox did say he’s agreed 2 already so that will be us done.

With the embargo rules we can only have a squad of 23 that have had a pro competitive appearance. We can have 2 loans. After that any other permanents would I think come from development squads.

[Sanfran49]

An in form Coco gets attention, but needs to think how responsible he was for where he is now.

[Sanfran49]

Maybe we had 2 trialists !! Then maybe we had 4 trialists !! Then 2 may have gone but we talking to the other 2 !!

Get that feeling that this is a fourth season of THE plan !!

[Sanfran49]

Last season we had one player unregistered ! All season, and that lad deserved far better treatment than that.

Just another reason I no longer have a season ticket.

This is so patronizing. Since the 1st Fans Forum having gained control of the club all I heard was no notice of fans suggestions would happen.

The 1st forum openly said any suggestion was distrusted because people would want some financial reward for it !! That they have been in the entertainment business and they know what is needed so leave it with them ! Said just wanted fans to turn up pay to get in, have a pie & a pint then having watched an entertaining game of football leave an go home ! That is all they wanted !!

Subsequent forums suggestions were quickly dealt with, the fans 100% ignored so I stopped going.

Of course now it will be the fans fault ! As I said so patronizing.

Swann has said that we’re only allowed to sign players on a “break even” basis.

Only 6 teams took up the loan, which tells you all you need to know really.

Swann signs our assets to coolsilk and couldn’t find anyway of funding needed to get us out of the hole he found ourselves in with lack of funding through covid and now we’re at a huge disadvantage.

What annoys me is, is that we’ve had to hear this from a 3rd party because the owner couldn’t be arsed to say anything.

This is what I was saying the other day about lack of communication and feeling like we’re seen as an annoyance.

And now he wants to set up some sort of field fans panel !

Strange because since the day of that 1st fans forum he said he would take no notice of any ideas because people would not be doing it to help the club just for what they could get out of it !!

Our player turnover and recruitment led us to where we are. I came across a dec 2019 programme. When I checked we had 30 players listed – as of last week there are 3 left !! Watson Hallam & Pugh.

Last season the failures were allowed to continue failing by being selected game after game. Check how many start the 2021/2022 season on 1 yr deals.
