Brilliant :-)

Last season, Yeovil drew the least number of games in the NL with 6.

0-1 = 6
1-2 = 6
0-3 = 5
1-0 = 5

These were the most frequent scores in their NL games.

I’m going to invest a tenner on a 2-1 win to the Iron!

What’s the obsession with clammering for 4-4-2?

It’s only Rene really. it’s the only system his love child fits.

The 10 just drops in to midfield when out of possession… thus matching a mid 5 of any opponents.

[Rene Artois]

If he plays 4-4-2 then I think we will be pretty solid at the back.
Keep it simple … we’re not playing in the Champions League.

He cost us the champions spot last season…

We were 26 points behind York – they had a plus 73 goal difference, ours was a mere plus 15!

A 58 goals positive differential in York’s favour.

We were miles adrift!

Don’t remember the bookies having us down as finishing fifth last season although I’m sure you will correct me Rene if it’s wrong – my point being the bookies don’t always get it right.

Absolutely IA!
It’s played out on grass, not a bookies ledger.

on paper the league is as open as any for quite a number of years.

The bookies have Carlisle as the clear favourites for the title.

They are 9/4 with Bet Victor & Billy Hills.

Their second favs are both listed at 5/1… Hartlepool (BV), Boreham Wood (WH)

They flip those two for their third favs.

We are odds on for a top 7 finish.
I think Stan and the Board would be happy with that?

Last seasons NLS Champions, Worthing are 100/1 to win it. 1/4 the odds for a top 3 finish.

Likewise the NLN Champions, Fylde are the same price.

Fylde bagged 112 goals, had a plus 61 goal difference, finishing with 100 points.

A top 7 finish for one or maybe even both is probably more realistic, as 2 (Iron & Wood) of the play off teams were freshly promoted to last season’s NL.

I think I’ll have £2.50 ew on the two newcomers … 25/1 for finishing 2nd or 3rd is ‘tasty’

Some people interview well … or bullshit excellently – but perform abysmally!

The Club do not seem to learn from previous experience or are just not bothered as long as they are selling them.

Perennial!

Bit of a bugger when you can get better quality shirts off the lucky lucky men than you can at a shop.

Give it 10 games Andy
with Dec as a 7 and Alfie as a 10.
You know it makes sense.

Whitehall as a 9 (ZZ)
Howe as a 9 (XX)
Beestin as a 10

Goals, goals, goals!

MK Iron wrote:

Other than Whitehall I am only seeing Dec Howe and Beestin as natural goal scorers who could potentially get double figures.

If we play 4-3-3
Then they would all be banging in the goals!

MK Iron wrote:

To get to last seasons levels we have got to somehow replace the 20 ish goals Roberts typically contributed.

Start Dec in every game – play him for the full 90 mins … and he will smash your 20 goals target!

I think they’ll be wrapping Rose up in cotton wool. So Ogle at RB for me.

Butterfield won’t do many 90 minute games either so he’ll be interchangeable with someone like Smith or Richards.

Would like to see Dec given game time as he is a goal scorer.

If we stay injury free I can see some possible out going loans. Hope he’s not one of them.

Yes. Stan has not yet identified … or that he is resistant to a director … or even worse; a fan induced acquisition – and doesn’t want to give him a fair crack of the whip!

Goals, goals, goals!

And at the other end – Big Cal stops them !

WIN – WIN … with those two!

STAN… read… digest… implement!

If you’re talking about the Iron Trust, I can’t agree. I’ve always found it to be a fair, decent and credible organisation. Things which do appear to have suffered a bit since it ‘changed hands’.

Club. It’s amateurish!
Always has been!

One of the greatest defenders of all time.

Voted Milan’s player of the last century in 1999.

20 years at one club. 6 titles. 3 European cups and loads of other glittery stuff.

Now he deserves a statue.
