So am I.
Hopefully it all works out.

“The amount of effort, workrate, determination, resilience, character, balls that we showed is everything I want to see in my team”

At least someone’s happy.

Defence is the issue. We look likely to concede every time the opposition has a corner or are in our penalty area. Should have beaten them 1-0 last night.

More vile misogynistic chants towards her from some in the DRE. Embarrassing.

This £10k a month thing just opens up a whole can of worms. According to Fitzsimons, in his latest interview with Radio Humberside, he had absolutely no idea about all the off field stuff going on around Hilton when he signed and didn’t have very much to do with him. Presumably all the other big signings were similarly in the dark. Is it an amazing lack of diligence by their agents or did they just think take the big contract and if the club folds you can walk away and are good enough to get straight in somewhere else ?

Watched the live stream and listened to the humberside commentary. Good job Turnbull was there as Wishart is hopeless. Called Scales “Smith” just about every time. Roberts had been on 5 minutes before he realised.
Good away win, 2 great goals.

A vote for Iron Bru from me.

My thinking is that, sadly, this isn’t a good level of football and it is the level we are at so we aren’t good. I get we demand better but this league is shite and if we have to grind out points away to escape then I will take it to not be here next season. You could put Man City in this league and your teams like Tamworth, Buxton, Curzon, Boston would turn it into a scrap and make it difficult for them.

[TheJuryeffsOut]

Awaywego, we’ve still beaten Tamworth away, lost 0-1 to Curzon (with a freak weather event), beat Rushall 3-0, got draws at Alfreton, Chorley and Boston and lost to Chester, (which Dean admitted was a shite performance). What I’m saying is in a tough League with the pantomime off field, injuries, suspensions and crap refs, I don’t think that is too bad.

[TheJuryeffsOut]

We are second in the league, despite all the off field problems, freak weather, dire refs, shithousery etc and it is a tough league. These teams like Boston aren’t just going to roll over for us on their own turf. Whitehall is either excellent or awful, Dean should just ask the ref to book him for dissent in the first minute because only then does he get on and play. Evans had an off night. Anyone really decent like Smith just gets targeted. It is going to be a real slog getting to the end of this season.

According to SUFC website it is being streamed on National League TV.

This should work to get the scheduled games. I haven’t used it before but just paid £9.50 so hopefully it will be shown.

Kitchener, They had sussed Hilton out while you were still dreaming of your new seat at Glebe Road and sniping at people on here for questioning what was happening.
A number of the posters on their Scunthorpe thread were genuinely concerned Scunthorpe United would cease to exist and made donations to the wages fund.

Reality is the club can’t afford the current squad. I hope they find a way to keep it together and we’ve got an excellent chance then of promotion. But if they secure the ground and we have to lose some good players and stay down here longer then that is the price as fans that will have to be paid.

[TheJuryeffsOut]

It could easily have been 10-0.

Apart from being a really good player Clunan is continually giving instructions and pointing at what other players should be doing in. He does as much good on the ball as off it. It looked like he had something to say to Whitehall first half when a move broke down due to a bad touch by him. A proper captain.
Jimmy was there in the dugout and occasionally stood near the touch line.

[TheJuryeffsOut]

What a night ! Smiths second goal and Butterfields are up there with the best Ive ever seen at GP.
Shout out to the Spennymoor fans, enjoyed the Poznan at 6-0 and good humour

[TheJuryeffsOut]

Very.

[TheJuryeffsOut]

With regard to Bennett, he’d be better in a straightforward 4 4 2 probably with Wilson, but that won’t happen with JD.

Hilton told JD his budget. I presume…

We cannot sleepwalk into ‘I’m just grateful I’ve got a club to support’ territory. yes we are all grateful and it’s wonderful to talk about on the pitch stuff but if we slip into mediocre football and mid table obscurity in NLN, long term it won’t work. We need to be at teams from minute one – far too cautious and lacking any plan B when things don’t go our way.

Arguably we are already in “I’m just grateful” territory. Unfortunately this is Hilton’s fantasy football squad, we never should have got. Can we afford to keep it ?

One name, Elliot Whitehouse. Was always going to score today.
If anyone can tell me why we farmed him out on loan to Chester last season, and then let them sign him, I’d like to know.

[TheJuryeffsOut]

That commentator, Wishart, is poor. Kept saying Bennett instead of Elliott even in the post match interview with Plummer. Kept going on about no 4th official as if it was just for this game when they don’t have 4th officials at this level, he should know that.

Just keep on riding the rollercoaster folks. We’ll probably hammer Spennymoor on Tuesday night now.

[TheJuryeffsOut]

You are right about that Awaywego !
Look on the bright side NLI we don’t what’s happening next week but can in fact book bus travel to the next 3 away games….
It seems a shame that Spenny fans want to buy tickets (what’s that in money a couple of grand income to the club ?) and bring at least 2 buses of supporters on a Tuesday night and still don’t know what exactly happening.

It isn’t very good when we find out more about what is going on from Spennymore supporters than our own club.

Best thing to do is wonder why and draw our own conclusions and possibilities.
Reassuringly we still get to play the Scunthorpe Utd game of guess what is happening.
