I’m not on X and it doesn’t let you view things very easily without an account. But if the last 2 IronBru podcasts are anything to go by, Matt Ellis has really got the knife out for Watson.
I posted this on the podcast comments for the previous episode :Horrible comments about our keepers from Matt Ellis.
A goalkeeper from a premier league team turns out to look better than our lads – what a surprise ! Without doubt if Watson or Campbell had conceded the goal at York you’d be losing your mind about it.
Describing one of our keepers as “shit”, “dog and duck” level is beyond disrespectful you should be ashamed of yourself.He’s come out with more after the Carlisle game, absolutely pathetic. Boyce gets sent off, Evans should have been, no Rowley, horrendous weather, crap pitch and three quarters of the podcast is about how the goalkeepers aren’t good enough !

I just checked the league table to make sure it hadn’t been published upside down.
We’ve only conceded 10 league goals and one of them was by Mahady against York.Unfortunately I think you’ll find Watson has been and still is a professional keeper and so is Campbell, insane how people will criticise a young 5th tier keeper for not being 100% in every single situation, we all know some things could be better but that goes for every single player. It’s actually embarrassing to read some of the comments.

We definitely missed Rowley.

Absolutely fantastic match to be at, the atmosphere from The Iron fans was amazing.
Every player gave their all but I have to say Beestin is on fire, what a game he had.1 user thanked author for this post.
The fact is we have been awarded the the 3 points. Yes it’s crap for Beestin and Whitehall, who both scored cracking goals, but equally Wealdstone were still well in with a chance of equalising and who knows what could have happened then. Take the 3 points and move on, as I said at the time it was embarrassing and I’d be ashamed to be a Wealdstone fan after that, utterly pathetic by their players.

Pathetic by Wealdstone.
Hopefully the National League come down on them like a ton of bricks.
Embarrassing for the Wealdstone fans.1 user thanked author for this post.
RIP.

To be fair to Amorin, at least he’s got enough class to actually turn up in person at Blundell Park. Unlike Ferguson when they played us.

Lest we forget, the 2023 fans forum was fantasy island.
A new training ground site identified, academy remaining in place for 23/24, land acquired on Glebe Road, new stadium, £2 million set aside, blah blah blah.This 2025 forum was a refreshing change.

Was at the game and even though it wasn’t pretty, that was a great result. Two fantastic goals from us!
Got to say though that Campbell is an absolute liability. Flapped at everything that went near him in the air and should not have let that ball bounce on his 6 yard line for their goal. Decent enough save at the end but nothing that no other goalkeeper should be letting past them.
For their goal though…there is absolutely no way that the ball crossed the line, will be interesting to see a replay!
P.s. what a find Ewing may turn out to be, our best player by a mile.
The kid is on his league debut against a tough side, away from home and his team has won and the only goal conceded you say didn’t even cross the line !
And you’re still having a dig at him, he’s our keeper.
Well done to AB, Campbell and the rest.12 users thanked author for this post.
Having received the email from the trust it makes for an interesting question.
Please reply to this email by August 4thwhether or not you would support “OB1” with a simple YES or NO.
My answer isn’t so simple – Yes, I would have, but now they’ve rejected the initial offer, probably No I don’t.
From what we’ve seen I don’t think this board of directors wants much involvement with The Iron Trust and would rather keep them at arms length.

Fitz – Most clean sheets in the lowest league, it’s great but I guarantee if Campbell keeps as many clean sheets but drops 6 clangers it’s the clangers we’ll hear about on here and the clean sheets will be “it’s a team effort “. People are panicking way too early.
If Campbell can’t hack it he will be replaced, whether that’s before or during the season he won’t get any mercy in football- he knows that, Butler knows that, Muzzy knows it, the board knows, I don’t know why we can’t support him fully to try and make it.

It’s the easiest thing in the world now to say get an experienced keeper. If he isn’t good enough you can say “I told you so” and if he is good enough you can say “Butler was lucky, he turned out ok”.
I’m not going to write him off based on trophy matches and friendlies, has he ever played behind the same defence in any game for us ? It’s all makeshift and trialists every time.
Give the lad a chance and some support.1 user thanked author for this post.
