Leaning on use of co-pilot AI, but reckoned mine was Ashley Allanson. Sounds right tbh!

As a few have said on here, my suspicion is that next season will be a slog. However, AB’s recruitment hasn’t been too bad on the whole (jones, ewing, westbrooke, howe, horton etc all picked up cheaply), but its probably going to take 2004-06 levels of effective wheeling and dealing to get players in here who can do a job on a shoestring. Think it’ll be clear within the first month what sort of a season we’re in for.
Galatico approach is fallible as proved our first season in NLN, so big hitters chucking money around like FG/Carlisle etc isn’t necessarily terminal.
Beags by far – pace of a sloth, but didn’t need it, those chops/shoulder drops, and the quality of his delivery.
Woolford – just had that golden streak in his three seasons here.
Haks – well i liked him, capable of unbelievable stuff – the good and the bad. Entertainment.1 user thanked author for this post.
I think the mauled thing was originally quite rightfully considered cringe, but to be honest its moved into irony whereby it just boils the piss of opposition fans now and is as good as any other chant. Even funnier given it was at Millwall.

FFS. Scunny Bunny is the absolute epitome of our tinpotness. Someone clearly just went with the first noun they could think of that rhymed with scunny, and then its stuck for 30 years, despite having 0 association with the town. My preference would be a giant oversized lump of iron ore that we stick a couple of googly eyes on, with Jerry pushing it around in barrow prior to kick off. Call him Iron Oreson or something.

That or a grey pig formed of low quality iron – Piggy Pig Iron or something. If you’re reading Michelle, drop me a DM.1 user thanked author for this post.
Said this to my mate, Whitehall’s play with his feet in the final third is great as long as there’s a runner and a short pass. Feel as though default setting is to lump it to him and i’m not sure his target man play is that great at this level against the better teams. Found Howe and Roberts with regularity once Dec came on and they started making runs through the middle.
Farrell had a few starts – just have Dec start every one in three – he’ll bag.

Kane is fantastic. I find it jaw-dropping that people have written him off during Euro 20 and Euro 24 when it was clear the system wasn’t suiting him rather than lack of ability. He has just about everything other than pace, and has a brilliant attitude and off the field demeanour. His playmaking, movement and finishing are right up there with the best. We are so lucky to have him, and tbh I can see him playing until he’s 40 given mobility hasn’t ever been the basis of his game. Conditioning side of game so advanced compared to 25 years ago – bonkers when you consider Shearer retired from England aged 30.

Ewing and Westbrook have been so impressive in quicky breaking up play and getting us playing forward – that was just absent last night, Ewing looking like he was running through Treacle. On another night Rory doesn’t make the howler, smith’s ONSIDE goal is given, and smith or carlton put away that golden opp.
Their fans seem to reckon they’d turn us over again in playoffs, I think the opposite is true.

Just been on the Carlisle forums. Boyce and Will Evans have rattled them quite badly by looks of things: https://thebuzzisback.boards.net/thread/2675/scunthorpe-fans-on-social-media?page=4

A couple of interesting points; goals for and against are wiped – we get 3 points and 0 improvement to goal difference. Alfie must be gutted.
Also, Wealdstone’s board apparently were in touch with NL after the match to say they believe Scunthorpe should have been awarded the points. Fair play.

Re:murphy – Culpable to being caught too far off his line as well; Happened twice at Wembley within 6 weeks. But still, for me, best GK we’ve had in my 25 years watching us.
