What’s the record low points in league two, not counting the truncated season?

Don’t worry. We have already surpassed the record for that since 3 points came in (by 2 points – Donny 97/98). :-)

[Siderite]

It’s been like this since Wilcox and Cox. Every time defendants say it’s because the squad is not good enough and we need to sure up the defence to be hard to beat. Our idea as to how to score has been missing for years. :-)

Buck’s latest post didn’t last long, the Kremlin were soon onto it.

The NKVD and the Bolsheviks always made a greater example of the ‘traitors’ who turned against them than the never believers. :-)

Though, it would be somewhat ironic if the next legal action against a Scunny fan would be Bucks, after years telling us how right it was for Swann to threaten others. X-)

Though, I must state that I am on Bucks’s side here and he has my sympathy for this.

Whoosh. My point wasn’t to justify disturbance from any political persuasion. I was merely pointing out the double standards on this issue. :-)

Anyway, this is off topic, so will leave it at that. :-)

[Siderite]

It’s not that easy though, is it? He might see it as cowardice to quit, for personal pride. :-)

I am losing faith in Hill, but I do note the change in tone. When Cox was, deservedly, sacked the rhetoric was that sacking a manager would do no good, because the previous times it was done it achieved nothing. Yet now it might work if we get rid of Hill.

I mean, it might do, but I don’t see how it’s any different to when we had Cox and we were told it wouldn’t do any good because no manager could improve things under Swann.

Interesting how when Insulate Britain protesters block roads and disturb economies and jobs they need clamping down on, but it’s a horror when the authorities clamp down on right wing protesters. :-)

Wharton may take some blame for lack of due diligence, but Swann isn’t a force of nature. He has agency and the buck rests with him. :-)

Strange signings it appears. We were aware that Nuttall hadn’t played much for 2 years, to me it looks like he’s never played before. He looks lethargic, 2 speeds – walk and trot, and failed to hold the ball once as far as I remember.
Pyke has an air of invisibility about him.

Desperate signings for desperate times. :-(

[Siderite]

Shrewsbury fans were glad to see the back of Pyke at the time.

[Siderite]

The Rochdale forum was enlightening. Many of their fans are not happy with the behaviour of some of their supporters yesterday, and they haven’t been for a while. They have claimed that the trouble causers were openly dealing drugs in the toilets before the game, swearing and abusing families in the away end and that one of the stewards shook the hand of one of them after the pitch invasion :-O

Untrue. He predicted us to win on Saturday. :-)

No my friend, I watched the full 94 minutes on i-follower, so no real need for your comment, maybe it would be more apt if you let us have your opinions on the match.

Siderite, have you ever though of adding an “N” in your password, between the (S and i).

I was only being tongue in cheek. No harm meant by it. Sheesh. :-)

I bet Cox has a bit of a smile on his face, a bit like Robbins and Alexander!

To a degree, with regards to Swann, but I suspect he’d mostly be disheartened for the way his hometown club is falling apart. :-(

I can’t speak for certain, but they seemed to be tired out by minute 60 every game. That seemed like a lack of fitness.

I think we needed to try something different to Cox and Hill has a good track record, so it’s natural to have some hope. :-)

Unfortunately the calibre of players has not been good, and we may have left it too little, too late. As CT points out, many of the original targets would have shunned us because of the dire situation. :-(

You know the answer to your points Ferrite, we all do, one-man to blame and it’s not Keith Hill.

It’s interesting. When Cox was here Ferrite was eagerly pointing out that the problem went beyond the manager, now it seems that the manager does have some fault. :-)

It must be said that Cox seemed to be in approval of at least some of the duds we’ve signed, and left them unfit, so cannot be whitewashed as some great manager. He was useless. :-)

However, the common denominator is Swann! :-)

The worse times were not under Don Rowing, Siderite. The club had a good structure then and also a good Chairman who knew what he was doing. Everyone who worked for the club went home knowing they had done a good hard day’s work and very often stayed over not on pay but because they loved Scunthorpe United and valued supporters. Don Rowing was a good Chief Executive with a good General Manager David Beeby. The commercial department worked very hard with and in the local community. It’s the old saying that you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone. Fans were much more appreciated and given much better facilities and treatment to how it is now, they were made to feel valued. It was more like a family club. Opening hours were good in the office and the shop compared to now where everything has been cut to the bare bones. Things fans enjoyed have been taken away, being able to buy a programme, a working scoreboard, told you can’t take your own food or drinks into the ground and then catering prices increased at the same time, etc. The supporters have been alienated and without supporters there will be no Club. This is going to take a heck of a lot of rebuilding fans trust and commitment.

Not really the focus of my comment. :-)

You can have all the marketing in the world, but if they won’t pick up the phone to sell the tickets it won’t do any good, rung yesterday no one there, same today, left message on answerphone but very disappointing and just another reason why I stopped going regularly to the Glanny sands siro. Will post when (if) they get back to me. PS this is not a Swann thing it’s the way our club as always been run,the worse times though were under Don Rowing.

It’s ok. SUFC have many followers on twitter. They know what to do. :-)

[Siderite]

Bring back Cox! We need the players unfit and incapable of anything but defending the 18 yard box! :-)

Hopefully, if alcy actually wants to put forward his views he can do so in a more sensible manner. Have specific threads where each corresponding video goes in, instead of endless spam of separate threads. :-) There would be no issue there for me.

I don’t care if you have issues or not.
Your input to this thread so far shows you up stiff.

And the responses of others do not lead me to believe that ANYTHING will change.
