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

Two family members are season ticket holders at Doncaster and reckon Hurst will be very good at our level. Said the same about Westbrooke when we signed him.

Haha Andrea Ferretti!

The replies on this. Got to admit I had no idea who Charlie Kirk was and this is from someone who is aware of the lesser known social media disruptors i.e. Paul Watson, Femi, Cheong etc etc

I despair how as a country (and perhaps as a planet) we’ve been pushed into different corners, divided and then bombarded with news to a degree that everyone must have a live opinion on it. Its fed into everyone’s pocket on a multitude of apps. Used to be just the TV news that people shouted at. Its inescapable and its so draining, we’re baited by algorithms for clicks – net resulting being societal divide paying £££ to those stoking it. Quite enjoyed just being able to mix with people from outside my circle in the 90s/00s without having to draw serious lines between beliefs. We’ve been completely screwed over and indoctrinated with hatred from tech companies, inept politicians and influencers. If i could pull the plug on social media and 24/7 news i would….dont think anyone would miss it after a month or two. Worrying where the world is headed for our children and grandchildren.

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.

League have awarded us the Wealdstone match.

League have ordered the Eastleigh match to replayed.

Superb.

Sesko. I’d be livid if we’d spent a huge fee on a new striker to spearhead the attack, and then he elected to take the 10th penalty.

[RedMistTorpsFist]

Got to say i love that one, early-mid 90s leisure centre cafe polystyrene cup vibe.

[RedMistTorpsFist]

Guessing the money earmarked for Clunan has helped offer CR10 a better deal. Ole Ole!

[RedMistTorpsFist]

Fitzsimmons gone – no surprises there.

[RedMistTorpsFist]

Its clearly riled him as he also mentioned this on the pitchside interview after Chester. N

Arron McLean (of Peterborough United fame 2010ish) was co commentator

[RedMistTorpsFist]

Kouhyar would be a great signing, and whilst we’re on wide players I thought Chester’s Woods caused us a lot of problems on the left, but he only signed mid-season from Warrington so wouldn’t be available.

[RedMistTorpsFist]

Anyone heard any whispers regarding his availability on sunday? A long long shot.

[RedMistTorpsFist]

100% agreed – Byrne was a great trier, and a clubman, which I feel masked his actual ability. I was always nervous as soon as he came up against any wingers with pace or half a trick. Remember Coppinger having him on toast every time he moved over to Byrne’s side. TBF he tried to compensate by being fittest and most professional player in the team.

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.

Torps for me. Limited technical ability and got a lot of stick, but strikers alongside him usually ended up with 20 goals. Had some great battles with opposition defenders (the mullering of Futcher, winding up of Sodje, sly elblows in on Ellender etc) and scored a number of important goals. His 2005 era mullet was a joy to behold. Departed on a high in that championship winning L1 team.

Also, Kenny Milne – the club legend we were cruelly denied.

Bonkers that our pinnacle up that point vs MK we were only getting 6.5k for a shot at championship.

[RedMistTorpsFist]

Didn’t help that the balls into him were pretty cack, but Beck’s aimless flicks were never going to be collected, even if he’d had a runner alongside. We had plenty of build up but no cutting edge or end product once Whitehall went off; limited to feeding Fadera and Roberts and hoping for individual brilliance – and in end we got lucky with that. As for Whitehall – he shouldn’t have gone in on that challenge, he was never going to win that ball.
