@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.

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.

Spit(mis)fires 1-2 (Hard as cast) Iron

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!

Starbuck was in advance of the sneaky throw in.
Benehouan continues to worry me.
Evans major faux pas!
Benehouan could have had a second bite at the cherry but he’s flat footed, too slow and doesn’t close down.
Rory, unsighted, makes a good save.
Fortune didn’t favour him (Rory) and it ricochets to their guy.
Horton thought he’d heard a Who? He arrives on the scene with the sweet trolly. Main course already served and digested.

I can’t apportion blame to Rory.
The back four have to stand up and be counted.

[Rene Artois]

An off day and currently fourth in the table (Carlisle 2-1 FGR at the moment)
We’re in the mix!

Black Swann or summat?

From the King’s Lynn thread:

I had a very strong feeling that it’d possibly be Blackpool.

3,865 is their record attendance at the Jakeman.
A heavy party / nights drinking for me when I posted… a tad carried away.

I’ll still go for a 2-1 win to the Iron with a crowd of 2,650

Solution?

[Rene Artois]

How some react to our ‘goalkeeper crisis’… the dynamic duo need to enter the arena wearing cheekpieces, eye shields, a visor, blinkers, a hood and a tongue strap :-)

[Rene Artois]

80 balls.
Blackpool, Notts County, Gainsborough, Tamworth away.
1/20 chance of one of those being drawn.

Not sure on that, he’s seen the NL cup games which hasn’t worked.
Needed a stronger line up from the start which I wanted in the first post.
But credit for not being stubborn and doing the big change at halftime,

hopefully another lesson [not? (RA inserted) ] learned,

and I can see he has learned overall and I am liking that.

Iron v Cumbrians starting X1 ?

[Rene Artois]

Get out of jail card played.

[Rene Artois]

2 games on the spin – 2 of our best players on the bench.
So, AB hasn’t learnt the lesson.
For me, you’ve got to start every game with your strongest X1.
