Iron 3-0 Shots

At half time – we sit 2nd in the ‘in play’ league.

Westbrooke – 1 goal in 42 appearances for Donny.

1 in 2 (?) games for us.

Given today’s lineup , I would be more than happy with a boring, flat 1-0 win!

Oh dear… 0-1

Ouch… I’d rather a plague of a million praying mantis be gnawing on me than have to listen to the Dribble of Oz “commentating”

Let’s hope they don’t have a new manager in place before Saturday, we don’t want their players trying to impress a new guy.

Let’s hope Alan Dowson brings his 10% and not his 42% revolver to the gunfight on Saturday.

Too many draws, only two teams have drawn more. It cost us promotion a couple of seasons ago, are repeating it this season. Rochdale well away with games in hand – no draws.

Agreed, we’re not losing… but not winning enough.

[Rene Artois]

And yet… we still look for things to grumble about. That’s life :-)

I guess you play inverted full backs to cope with inverted wide men?
[last nights starting back four]

[Rene Artois]

Attendance: 1,980 (101 away)

1980 x 20 = £39,600

Costs?
Coach £3k?
Hotel 16 rooms x £100 = £1,600
Food £1,000
Misc (laundering, players travel expenses etc) £1,000?

Total = £6.6k

Possibly need 17% of the match receipts to cover costs?

[Rene Artois]

@DM66
Perhaps a 90 min+ match abandonment rule needs bringing in?
If a match ending serious injury occurs from 90 minutes onwards – then the scores at that time are the match result?
* How much did last night cost the club?

The abandonment on Tuesday 2nd Sept has seen us have to play another midweek game. Lads will be tired on Saturday.

1-1 first time.
1-1 in the legitimised game.

Snap.

* “The Enterprise National League has also issued specific guidance regarding the revenue arrangements for the replayed fixture. A significant portion of the gate income will be allocated to cover the visiting team’s travelling expenses.”

60/40 split?

Take the point and move on to Aldershot.

That could be a Shots 3-4 Iron game.

Having said that, the law of enantiodromia will probably see it end up 0-0.

[Rene Artois]

As we know, the first game was abandoned in the 93rd minute.
Why didn’t the ref just blow for full time?
You’ve got to feel for the lads & lasses who made the journey last night – what time will they get home… 2am / 2:30am?
What a waste of time, money & effort.

Boston 0-4 Morecambe
Strange score.

[Rene Artois]

Uneasy about our back four line up.

Boycie in for Evans. Carlton for Dec. Good to see Ollie Rose back on the bench.

No surprise with Dec… he’s not a left ‘winger’.
AB will never see the best of him if he continues playing him as the left tine of the trident.

Whitehall scores first half.
W’hall off 65 mins – Dec on.
Howe scores 85th min winner.
Fires 1-2 Iron

Happy journey back for our fans.
(Fingers crossed)

Yet conceded more than one goal away from home on just the one occasion.

Simply for reference purposes to give an indication as to how the ‘professionals’ see the potential outcomes.

Tuesday 21st October

Eastleigh 1-2 Scunthorpe

They’ve only kept one clean sheet from six home games.

Evans fault this one.

Agreed.

Having said everything:
Still only lost one in the league.
Joint third lowest goals conceded.
6th most goals scored.

We think we’ve got it bad?

Poor old Aldershot; joint second highest scorers in the league on 28 goals, just one behind Carlisle… yet, they’ve conceded 33 goals, sitting in 19th place on just 13 points from 15 games.
They’ve scored more goals than league leaders Rochdale!

I think we’re doing fine.
Mistakes happen – let’s not crucify the players.
They are doing better than we expected.
Well done AB, staff & players!
