    May be judged sufficient punishment.

    The histrionics of the near fatally wounded Southend player may be of use as the scream and face holding could have ‘persuaded’ Mr Lewis to be the star of the day !

    Saying all that, poor leadership for sure and sad to say but end of time at GP (svs).

    Reminds me of Hakeeb. Obvious talent but seldom seen. Difficult for any manager to get total performance every week out of these players.

    Barnards – you need to talk to his agent. Someone was giving Hakeeb bad advice, perhaps he knew who it was.

    More money wasted. What are the issues, if players want out they would play their best to achieve a transfer. So why do those that want out seem to adopt a different path !! Or does something else go on that we are not privileged to know about.

    He has probably found some ‘freshness’ !

    Just seen this from the managers post match interview:-

    Cox added: “We’ve had ten penalties against us this year and two sendings off. We’ve been given two penalties and not had anybody sent off against us. I feel as if that aspect has gone against us this season”

    That penalty count seems to me to be a fair reflection of the time spent in our penalty area compared to that spent in our opponents.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if our manager brought out what the most popular boot colour was for those who have scored against us !!

    The whole feel of the game changed for the better when Spence came on, today.

    Could have condemned Spence to the wastelands with that comment !

    442 works even Mr Cox and the Master Commander realise that, so to ensure continuity we opt for the ‘diamond’ option !!

    The gates will not be good when the fans are allowed back in but the decision makers seem quite happy in preparing for a decline. But they know it all.

    For me before the initial new recruits we had a decent base to build on. Then the new faces were recruited and quite frankly they weakened the squad substantially.

    This set of new permanents and loans 2 seasons ago would not have been looked at. Yet some of the new permanents got 2 year deals for goodness sake. These less than average players got chance after chance and if we had not got Karacan or Taft in we would be near to the bottom 4 !!

    Survive this season and many who have recruited such mediocrity will do just the same and I fear retaining league status will be success again. But rest assured the ‘the – we threw money at it comment will be said’. But be confident the new ‘Vose’ will arrive.

    Not a chance of that happening. Selections are continually disrupting any chance of stability. The tactical wizard should consider a new career.

    Post match comments are constant source of amusement ! I mean what the hell is this rubbish ” We need to get some freshness in them ” !!

    We have improved but that is because we recruited Taft & Karacan. If they weren’t there we would be in big trouble.

    Alexander has gone so lets move on. Attitude to fans started with MR, and he deserved to go as well.

    You stand more chance winning if you attack than defend, how many attempts on goal against Exeter ?? Fans will not flock back and Mr Swann needs to ask himself why !

    Turgid will not show a boost to gates after this long absence of supporters.

    The decision maker needs to change their attitude. Is there a long term plan ? Now I am not so sure on.

    The games to go this season are not just about this season.

    Targeting is alive and thriving, getting to the time when decisions need making.

    Asked the question before – is it the training pitch structure that is creating issues.

    I didn’t realise Prem Refs can get a bonus of up to £50 K a season !! They actually lose money for bad decisions !!

    Do not understand that you get a bonus for doing the job correctly despite their salary of over £100K a season. If you cannot do it then you shouldn’t have a job !

    If our master tactician has a ‘coping’ plan it could be a long day.

    If the tactic is being us in a 4 4 2 and going forward in a forceful way the day could be very rewarding.

    Hope we continue with the forward passing, 2 striker attitude. We have a chance if we do.

    But if the tactician within the management team gets above their station could see problems. As usual we need to be US from kick off to final whistle and make the opponents adapt to what we do.

    Let’s keep it simple. Full time whistle goes and then points are awarded after that.

    Being saying for long enough Iron fans are talked at and that has got worse over the seasons.

    And cannot see it changing with things as they are, and that is a shame.

    the new Murray Wallace, come here on loan and then permanent, and build a team around him and Manny, at least Harrison can play right back.

    Mr Taft can also cover at LB and we have Charlie Barks in the U23s.

    Would be an excellent signing though. Sorts out the defence in readiness for next season.

    4 4 2 for me or if the use this 4 4 1 1 make sure the 2 ‘1’ ‘s operate close together.

    Set up to play OUR game and go for the 3 points.

    Huge influence already. And just listened to Neil Cox Humberside interview and he confirms huge affect off the field – letting players know what they have.
