    I absolutely agree with you.
    No strength in depth.
    But, could we extract more from the said utilising them differently?

    As we’ve said before – we’re drawing too many.
    In our last 8 league games we’ve W4 D3 L1
    Are we now to predictable to the opposition?
    Time to ditch the 433 and go 442?

    The last 6 games form table:

    Too many subs allowed these days.
    Max should be four – Gk, Def, Mid, Att

    Hopefully a 2-0
    But, how we’re playing at the moment, a ‘shock’ 1-1 wouldn’t surprise me.

    What did Rodders say?

    A project that no one had any belief in or expectation of frustration from when the plans were first laid out on paper on the table.

    How much did we lose on that kerfuffle?

    So…. Is it better to stay in the lower leagues and minimise your losses?

    They’ve lost their last 3 on the bounce.
    I’m going to optimistically revise my score prediction and go for a convincing win to cement our promotion challenge.

    Moors 1-3 Iron

    Hmm, we seem a bit lightweight today.
    Could there be an upset?
    4/1 could be a big price for the away win.
    I’ll be happy with a scrappy 1-0 win now.

    I’d be very interested to know who thought he was the man for us in the first place?
    Makes you wonder about how much they actually know about the game.. lol

    They’re doing it the opposite way £65,000 a month in loans (if that’s what they are still contributing) that takes the club north of £1,000,000 owing the directors.
    Not what any of you wanted.

    Blimey! And what’s it worth?

    Step 5 down to a step 7 club.
    Age 23, you’d expect him to start the game there?

    They sit 2nd bottom of the league and needed to win last weekend to leapfrog their hosts and demote them to 24th & last place. If we’ve got our strongest team available, then we could make things difficult for them… particularly if they view the game as a distraction and would prefer to try and survive relegation?
    Difficult one to call.

    Will their priority be avoiding relegation?

    Is our priority pushing for promotion?
    Difficult to call certainly!!

    One thing is for certain… neither will win the cup.

    However, a run to the third round would be great for our club and the town… I guess a good run for a L1 club would be to reach R4?

    As long as it’s a good, fairly refereed game and we give a decent account of ourselves then we shouldn’t grumble.

    It’s a pity that there ain’t any replays these days :-(

    Safe journey to the travelling Iron faithful at Blackpool today, let’s hope the boys give a good account of themselves at higher league opposition UTI.

    Safe journey guys (inc gals) and sing your hearts out as normal.

    One of our ‘bogey’ teams.
    They’ve won their previous five R1 FA Cup ties – we’ve lost our previous four.
    Bookies have 1-1 as the shortest scorecast.
    Their place ain’t a particularly happy hunting ground for us.
    They appointed Ian Evatt on Monday 20th October and they enjoyed the new manager bounce last week with a 2-1 win at bottom club Peterborough.
    They sit 2nd bottom of the league and needed to win last weekend to leapfrog their hosts and demote them to 24th & last place.

    If we’ve got our strongest team available, then we could make things difficult for them… particularly if they view the game as a distraction and would prefer to try and survive relegation?

    However, you’d think that a new manager in situ would want to prove himself?

    Difficult one to call.

    Heart 0-1 Iron
    Gut 2-1 Blackpool
    Head 1-1 … who knows with pens?
