    Losing 1-0 at half time,surely you think it’s not working particularly well,scrimshaw totally isolated, let’s change to 4 4 2 and have a bit of ago,no let’s go 2-0 down then go 4 4 2,that performance was as bad as anything from last season, absolutely shocking, why didn’t Beeston start ?, why didn’t jarvis? play up front with scrimshaw ,3rd from bottom, bottom 2 ? Next week,I hope not but the writing is on the wall,the fans will stay away in droves unless something improves.

    The point I was making about pugh is the fact pugh is not a fullback,we signed millen for that role but should have signed 2 proper rightbacks not just the one,we got Thompson to challenge omalley for the left back role but only one rightback a strange decision in my humble opinion, so if you are going to use players as makeshift fullbacks it’s not fair on them,hornshaw played rightback last season and its not his normal midfield position just like pugh and look what happened to him he’s now at Gainsborough I believe, opposition teams aren’t stupid they see our weakness and play on it.

    In the Second half I’m afraid pugh looked like a makeshift fullback,Kenyon was lumbering around having no effect whatsoever,bunn not tracking back enough when he came over to the right and hallam runs around alot, but as a so called striker I can’t remember him having a serious strike at goal,another proper right back is needed, get perry in midfield, a right sided winger who attacks and gets back to defend and the most difficult job of the lot ,find someone to stick the ball in the back of the net.

    Not exactly the experience keeper most fans were looking for,but most of the signings have been good so let’s hope he turns out to be a good one as well,up the iron.

    Excellent insight on the season, many of the things karacan said are what many fans have thought,I just hope cox gets the players he wants,and karacan gets his wish to play against us at Glanford park so he can get the applause he deserves!

    I don’t believe the club is doing enough to show the fans we are not going to have another season like the last one which was abysmal, where are the rallying calls to encourage us to buy season tickets, the new players to galvanise the fans into thinking things will be better, most other clubs in league 2 are saying and doing the right things,I think this is a very worrying time to be a scunny fan,I hope I’m wrong but it’s not looking good,most seasons you have that optimism, but I’m afraid for alot of fans it’s gone.

    Not to have a serious attempt at goal in a derby game is utter rubbish, our so called forward line is a joke,stop eisa and Gilliead and that’s it nothing loft,McAtee and Jarvis do not look like producing the goods on any sort of a regular basis ,no van veen, another striker who can score goals is an absolute necessity,I dread to think what might happen if van veen stays injured.

    There are plenty of out of contract decent experienced players out there and I’m afraid if we don’t sign some we are doomed to relegation ,even if that it means to pay some players off to make room and keep inside the budget, it has to be done ,a must goalkeeper,centre half two fullbacks and centre midfielder and a forward who can bully a defence.
