I agree with everything that’s been said on this Forum about this young man, but I’m afraid you have more chance of seeing a pig flying over The Attis Arena than see this young man play there for Scunthorpe United. All the usual excuses for not signing him will be trotted out or there will be complete silence on the matter. An NL or a League 2 club will take a punt and 5 years from now he will be banging them in at a much higher level. And we will be left with what might have beens.

Eagerly Anticipating The New Season

[Rene Artois]

Oops… forgot about Carlton.

Happy with our strike force.

Got to be 4-4-2 … need a bit of steel in midfield and a creative LM.

And a lad to stand between the posts & play sweeper keeper.

[Rene Artois]

We were all edging our ‘bets’

[Rene Artois]

We’re going to be seeing him for two more years.
Pleased he’s staying. He scores goals!

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
At least we tried.
With yesterday’s footballing announcements, things are looking up.
It looks as if the BoD are learning and improving the Club.
Best of luck to the BoD, staff, players and the long suffering fans in 2025/26.

Pair with Clunan in midfield and we are starting to look tasty!

Or with Danny up front leaving your love child on the bench?

4-2-2-2
Dan, Dec, Joey, Beck

Beck as the 10 just behind D&D to flick on for them or to nod down for JoeD.

Two wing backs who step up in to midfield when we’ve got possession (2–4-2-2) or effectively a 2-4-4 when attacking.

At breakdown, JoeD drops in to midfield, making us 4-3-1-2, if they retain possession for a period then Beck drops in as well making us 4-4-2

We are after all, the 12th man.

Would have had a better ring to it if we’d signed Anthony from Man Utd!

Ant & Dec.

[Rene Artois]

As WG and numerous others have stated many times before, we need an enforcer for CM. In addition, we need a creative midfielder who can unlock defences for Dan & Dec to exploit.
I’m thinking Stan may be thinking of playing JoeD in midfield?, he’s played there before.
If CR10 re-signs then that’ll be like signing a new player. Fingers crossed on that one.
If we can unearth someone of a similar ilk to CR10 for the other side then we’ll be offensively potent.

Welcome Home Dec

For 2026/27?

Callum Howe – he’d be a great accusation for us at this level. Knows it (the level) and has done it before.
He’s obviously a big part in York’s plans – but if he became available. Twice named in the National League ‘Team of the Year’ – one to bring back when his contract expires?

Lewis Butroid, under contract for 2025/26 but we should keep an eye on him this season. He had a cracker for Trinity in 2024/25.

[Rene Artois]

Yup, it’s a great start. Bravo SUFC.
If CR10 stays, then it’s happy days.

Well done Rene, you wished the Howe signing into existence.

His goals couldn’t go ignored.

Fingers crossed that he and Dan hit 20 each this new season.

[Rene Artois]

The dynamic duo next season!

The ‘Declan Howe showreel’ video Gainsborough Trinity have just posted is worth a watch. He looks to have a good instinctive eye for goal, reminds me a bit of Billy Sharp.

As I’ve being saying for long enough… he’s a natural born goal scorer!

Can we get Callum back? He’s a solid CH who can play.

[Rene Artois]

AWESOME!
SIMPLY AWESOME!
Dan & Dec.

[Rene Artois]

Another Signing

The List

Keep up Rene your only ten and a half hours too late mate,lol.

A technical glitch at my end.
I think my internet was stuck in a time lock – it was leading me to believe the announcement had just being made.
Not sure why it was playing up but it seems to have self resolved now.

The List

Which leads me on to the planned 3 day music extravaganza. So they are hoping to attract 10,000 per day to watch unknown local amateur bands and tribute bands.
So they are hoping 30,000 of the 81,000 of Scunthorpe will pay good money for this. Jesus… ain’t going to happen.

3 days – 3 lots of costs – maximise your loses boys!

People who want to go to a festival want a muddy wet field where they can pitch their bivvies, smoke their happy fags and have a roll around in the sludge with a member of the opposite sex or same sex or an alien / ET.

If you really want to try it, test the water with a single event first.
How did the giant screen movie nights do a couple or three years ago?

Attendance figures?
Sold tickets v comps.

[Rene Artois]

Turnout looks embarrassing.
Guessing these are the Friday night local bands?

[Rene Artois]

10,000?
lol

Beck isn’t 36 years old either so the Rene comparison with Muldoon is tenuous to say the least.

The age of Beck & Muldoon is irrelevant.

Deerey thinks Muldoon could do a good job one league lower. [maybe he could?]

Someone at SUFC thought Banjo could do a job one league lower.

Banjo’s stats and consignment to the bench by Stan shows that he couldn’t.

Beck could flourish next season. Got a good feeling about it.

If he couldn’t notch in NLN then extrapolation would suggest he’s going to find it even harder a level higher.

[Rene Artois]

Deereyme66 wrote:

I get that. But still think he could do a good job for us a league lower and the experience would be handy.

Someone at the club had identical thoughts on Banjo!

Dec will be in the National League next season talks have already taken place with the top Lincolnshire club.

NL – Lincolnshire – SUFC / Boston.
Awesome if he’s joining us.
Happy days?

[Rene Artois]

No.

[Rene Artois]

Bring back Butty.
Good size. Good player.
He’d do a job.
12 goals from midfield this season.

[Rene Artois]

Give him a go!
38 goals this season!

[Rene Artois]

A massive thank you to this WONDER WOMAN for the turnaround in our fortunes & future.

The first step of our return to better times.

Well done Michelle!
