Jones was as good as it got this season. Was hoping we’d start a fresh nest season. Campbell ain’t good enough.

If these two sign that means that’s one position sorted. Not happy with this tbh.

Not bothered about the ones released. Not good enough.

A surface that resembles a football pitch rather than skeggy beach.

A midfielder that knows more than a sideways pass.

A defender that has a turn of pace quicker than a striking snail.

A winger that can actually cross

And players that want to get on the scoresheet

That’s asking far too much for the NL league

No thanks, not good enough at York and wasn’t that great.

Anyone from Scunthorpe made a shed load of Money like the Ogden family at Rochdale?

[RoamingBull]

I’d rather have a midfielder as a manager.

A defender as a manager should have his defence to the highest standards. Unfortunately this has not been the case. Why?

Not so sure roaming bull.

I don’t think the league will be as strong next season.

I think it will be equally as difficult as this time around.
Carlisle will be smarting.
Forest Green probably spend well
Southend & Harrogate will be in the mix.
And Rochdale or BW will be still in the league.

It’s going to be difficult to better this season tbh.
Playoffs again at the very best.
Think Butler will be scrutinised more next season because anything less than a playoff and it will be a failure.

We don’t have the extra finance just to up the ante like York or Rochdale to claim the automatic place.

Any update on the 2 automatic and 1 via playoff?
Or is this pie in the sky

JB as you say ain’t a right back as he was out of position on both goals. Saying that he got no players tracking back his side to cover/help.

Defensively we look very weak especially against quick wingers/strikers.

Midfield didn’t get a grip of anything yesterday neither. Ewing won’t be a miss.
I’m doubting Roberts if he does go to a league team too.

Rochdale were better but didn’t need to be too great to beat us yesterday. We looked 5 yards off the pace. Maybe Tuesday took its toll.

York would have murdered us on yesterday’s showing.

Weighing in with so many goals this last two seasons Roberts will be missed in that aspect. But for me seeing him lately bar the goals he hasn’t done enough to help the team out.
Maybe because he’s injured but rarely tracks back and helps out/gets stuck in.

Hopefully we can find someone else to score because we really struggle to create too much.

I didn’t think Rochdale were that great. Didn’t need to be tbh.
Defensively we are so slow, every time they broke down the left side we were wide open. Someone tracking back would have helped !

We’d have snapped someone’s hand off if they offered us semi final play off place at the start of the season.
For me today showed not how great the opposition were but how poor we looked. This constant lumping it forward even after DW went off showed this. The ball needing bringing down and played on the floor and strengths on what we had on offer.

Early goal killed the atmosphere for us.

Think it’s going to be a very difficult to match this season next season.
AB has some work to do in the summer. He will be really judged next season in which could be more difficult.

Not a great watch at all. Defensively we were awful.
Midfield didn’t really take any control and we just continually wanted it lumped forward.

Didn’t think Rochdale looked that great neither, just we were mediocre at best.

Great performance and thought we controlled it with relative ease.

Evans could have played that kinda game all night.Stalwart
Rest played their part excellently.

Roberts should have asked to go off early 2nd half as he brought nothing to the half. Great finish
Thought Pat Jones was quiet first half down our side but from
What I could see 2nd half he looked pretty good.

What’s the allocation at Rochdale?

[RoamingBull]

Hail Who?

It’s Scunthorpe United not Real
Madrid.

If some think they are special in the eyes of whomever let them crack on.
Always makes me laugh how some love to strut around thinking theyre it and pretend to know inside info or knowing the inside leg of groundsman trousers.
Or they want to know.
Why?

Let’s just stick to how great or how shit weve played. It’s football.
Not a talent contest.

Jeez who’s the RH commentator?

Com’on chap let’s have a bit of enthusiasm

Might as well let Torpey do the full commentary!!

7 goals against in 120mins of play.

Maybe we needed a new defender than anyone in the forward line.

[RoamingBull]

Game off

Not a good start to the NY

[RoamingBull]

I Did hear what I’m thinking SI is on about.

To be honest I can’t find myself getting wound up on such things in life.

Didn’t see/hear any uproar about it neither.

[RoamingBull]

Looks like a good game plan by AB. Obviously a bit hamstrung with what’s on offer but scoring all the goals and a missed peno.

Think everyone has had value for money

[RoamingBull]

Sounds like we made a good account of ourselves from the pitch to the stands.

Hope there’s no injuries and we can give Rochdale a run for their money next week.

UTI & safe travels to all.

What’s the injury status atm?

[RoamingBull]

Yes it was a strange watch but a win is a win.

Not sure why a few were out injured or flu.
Watson had a decent game.
Not what Celtic saw in Dawson as he brings nothing to the table for us.

Perfect demonstration of how good we are with our first choice midfield and how poor we are when one or two of them are missing.

Yep Beestin and Ewing need tying down to longer contracts as the energy they bring is so good to see.
Can we have a whip-round for the pair.

2nd half was night and day. Even when Carlton came on he showed Dawson exactly how it’s done. Holding up the ball nicely.

Send Beck out on loan until his contract expires.

Well done AB and realising/reacting to the poor first half. Excellent management.

Awful first half.

Not sure what Dawson brings up top tbh. For a big lad he wins nothing and looks unfit.

Very lacklustre all over and very poor defending. Seems we can’t cut out crosses for the size of centre backs we have.
Terrible marking.

KL deservedly in front at a canter

[RoamingBull]

A beautiful day for a game of football. Hope we put on a display to match the weather.

3-1

The pitch situation is annoying and surely it’s down to good basic husbandry of the pitch particularly when it’s the infancy stage, what ever happened to people just knowing their job be it the pitch installers or the basic care of it afterwards, ridiculous situation.

the basic care of it afterwards, ridiculous situation. This in my opinion.

[RoamingBull]

DW did enough last night, same with the rest of the squad.
Morecambe weren’t a bad outfit tbh and if that attempted lob had not been saved by RW things could have been different.
We dug in and got a steady 3 points which is all we want. However they come.

The pitch is a mess and now the autumn is in full swing and temperatures will drop it won’t knit. The roots have not taken hence the reason it’s just peeling up.
For me it was not watered enough when it mattered.
We had a dry summer and it wasn’t watered sufficiently and not enough moisture was present to allow a good root growth.

That’s two seasons in a row. Hopefully 3rd time lucky as this can’t go on especially when we’ve got one of the best squad/footballer team in years!

[RoamingBull]

Steady game with 3 good goals!
Looked a little tired from Saturday.

Nice save by Rory to keep us 0-0 first half and a fine save late 2nd half.

Defence fall asleep at times which is a slight worry.
But bar that 3 points in the bag.

[RoamingBull]

DM66 where’s the talk of Watson being in no man’s land?
FB?

[RoamingBull]

Agree MKI.
Watson’s positioning was woeful yesterday. 2nd half he was so lucky.
It’s like as if they don’t watch the flight of the ball.
He was more interested on whom was in front of him than watching the ball being crossed.

I thought we’d be a mid table team before the season started.
I actually believe with the way AB has set his stall out and the players whom he’s brought in this season we will be in the play-offs no doubt and could easily push higher.

And personally if he had the budget for the last part of the spine would have been to acquire a GK.

We look a very decent side.
