I hope Clarke makes his way back pretty sharpish. Would it be worth signing a short team loan player to cover the gap ?
While I stated that I hope Clarke makes his way back sharpish, you also on the other hand rush him back at your peril.
Hornshaw will have to keep plodding on at RB then for the time being. I’d stick O’Malley in at LB though to see how he get’s on.
Who would you go for upfront SST, presuming Loft is rested ?
One thing is for certain, Colclough can’t ever find himself there again. I don’t think Cox would have been too happy with him, he was sulking until he was moved out wide.
I’d like Green and maybe Mooney/Turan to get a shot against Lincoln. Dales will probably get a run out as well.
Any of you know if we have received international clearance yet to play Turan ?
Rubbishiron, that study was done by HRSA…The Health Resources and Services Administration for those who don’t know. They’re an agency of the U.S. Department of Health, not some mickey mouse organisation that have plucked that compensation money from thin air.
I’ll ask again…
By the way that compensation amount didn’t include any legal fee’s, if you read online from many official sources that 4.1 billion jumps to anywhere between 6-7 billion when taking that into consideration.
Do you think them handing out 4.1 billion dollars in compensation money due to complications some people have suffered give people a reasonable reason to question vaccines ?
No more bluff and bluster, simple yes or no ?
watson 6.0
Butroid 5
Bedeau 6
Cordner 7.5
Hornshaw 6Eisa 7.5
Spence 6.0
Vincent 8
Gillead 6.5Loft 7.5
Colclough when upfront a 4 but while out wide 7Subs never made any impact really.
Colclough was pretty much a passenger when playing upfront and went in a mardy before being switched to the wing. Bedeau looked a bit iffy at times, I suspect he’ll make way for McGahey once he’s fit. Cordner keeps that level up and I can’t see him being dislodged that easily.
I’d stick Rowe at RB and O’Malley LB against Lincoln to see how they get one.
Loft looked really good today, really impressed with him but needs an out and out striker up there with him to feed off the scraps. I’d give green a go upfront against Lincoln with Jarvis, duran-Turan or young Mooney alongside him and save loft for the league.
I actually think the best striker in playing style for loft would be Olomola…he’d probably work fine with him, shame he’s out for the next few months.
We need to see what the other strikers offer, against lincoln would be an ideal time to have a look. Eisa needs to be out wide.
Question is though, who get’s dropped ?. Will Gillead make way for Colclough or will Colclough be the one that’s benched ?
Gillead I suppose could play CM but we saw him for spells last season in there and he was too light weight.
Bloodyrubbish, not attempting to “teach” anybody anything, it’s called a difference of a opinion. Instead of getting your panties in a twist, just accept it for what it is.
People may think I’m completely crazy and that’s fine, I wasn’t expecting anybody to agree.
It’s this ridiculous mindset which stops people coming out and saying what they feel/think. This is why everybody nowadays feeling like they’re constantly treading on egg shells.
However ridiculous you deem an opinion, it is only that, an opinion. Freedom of speech and all that jazz.
By the way, before you start shooting down people with a difference of opinion by branding them conspiracy theorists.
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program which was set up in 10/01/1988..from that date to 5/01/2019 “couldn’t find a more recent study” they have shelled out $4.1 billion. So, before you start berating people who campaign about the potential dangers…look into it. I personally think they have decent ground to do so.
If you want it down in writing, I’ll even copy and paste the study by the HRSA.
As the quote goes….
“Opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one and everyone thinks everyone else’s stinks.”
Holloway by all accounts said he failed to make the grade and had his trial terminated, whether he’s saying that trying to save face because he chose us over them is anybody’s guess.
Stampy, those fabric face coverings are dog mess.
Yes, that was one of my trademark flippant comments.
Basically What I mean is that the virus won’t go away or even become less virulent just because you want to go to the football. So you’ll need to wait for the green light from the club.
No amount of “get back out there!” or “let’s be ‘aving you!” Can change that.
That goes without saying, if you obviously turn up with no permission, they aren’t going to let you in are they ?
I wasn’t implying breaking down the doors at GP and bunkering down in the ground !
For all the people saying we have a lot of strikers on the book, you’re right but Cox in his interview the other day said that Jarvis and Mooney will have to come into the fold earlier and expected which means the pair of those are projects to bed them down first.
Take Van Veen and Olomola out the reckoning for the time being and we have Green, Duran-Turan, Loft and McAttee with Mooney and Jarvis on the back burner to get them up to speed and see how they cope.
I can certainly see one or two going out once Van Veen and Olomola are back though. McAttee will probably be flogged off as he’s in his last year and maybe Olomola will be loaned out.
For the time being though 4 deemed ready for first team with Mooney and Jarvis in the background is handy.
Now, we live in hope that the options are of a decent enough standard to offer the required competition.
I said this before but a Luton fan said even though they didn’t see a lot of him said if we give him chances he’ll score at this level…he was pretty confident.
I know when Jarvis was at Luton he scored a few in cup football but just couldn’t get regular games due to how strong their front line was at the time.
Reading a few messages from Luton fans though, they rated him pretty highly when he was there..they thought he was a decent enough player.
This german fella is a little more dodgy on paper, scored 2 in 11 for Weston Super Mare but you never know, he could settle here and transform his career.
Put it this way, you want to be hoping some of these players come to the fore as we have a hell of a lot of unknown quantities.
As people keep saying “we need these turds to be polished up”.
BigLeftToe, if I was you I’d back all the players, even the one’s which are crap on paper. By all means if they’re dog mess after 10+ games, take pot shots but for the time being..just support them.
These questionable players are they one’s we’ll need to come good !
Remember that
Max reminds me of those ankle biting dogs….those yappy irritating little things that don’t shut up.
If you weren’t aware, there was a mass gathering in London, looked to be around 1,000 protesting against the face coverings. People are starting to get a bit pissed off now, can’t really blame people really, the face coverings do naff all.
The only masks to are effective are those carbon filter ones which properly filtrate the air. Wearing a normal dust/face mask is more harmful, less oxygen and more breathing your own breath/carbon dioxide is downright daft.
I’m not saying we all go out, have street parties and be packed like sardines in a tin but fans at our ground should be fine, 9,000 capacity ground and we only get around 2-2500 people anyway.
I agree with awaywego in a sense, things should start moving forward now…it’s dragging a little too long for my liking. People drop like flies of common flu every year, the world doesn’t come to a screeching halt.
I say the authorities should give green light to fans of all sports *governed sensibly* and get the ball rolling. Why deprive the fine people of Scunthorpe a chance to see them romp to winning the league this season.
In the fine words of Delia Smith….
LET’S BE AVINNNNNN YOU !
I think you and awaywego should meet *both wearing face coverings* and have a dust up…settle it the old fashioned way.
Gillead left footed?
They look similar, Gillead and Eisa…. I got confused.
According to Cox the other day, we’re after an experienced utility players who can play across the back and midfield so we’ll be after at least one more.
The other day we signed Hypolyte..McAtee didn’t play so I wonder if we was brought in because he’s going out ?
On paper anyway it offers more balance because we only had 1 left footed winger in Gillead…we have a decent mix of wide men now.
Ideally I would like a GK but it’s been done to death, I think we’ve all come to terms with Swann not wanting to sign one !
McGahey has been back in training and Onariase won’t be too long. I’d rather have a RB in case Clarke never get’s back.
We desperately need a striker too.
I agree Mick, he got 60+ minutes..enough to see what he’s about.
That’s what Cox said, an experienced player who can play CM and across back. I heard his interview yesterday on twitter. The trialist striker is playing today with Eisa upfront. Hornshaw is playing in CM and going by what Cox said yesterday he really rates him.
Cox likes Hornshaw at RB as well so expect to see a fair bit of him this season.
Going by updates via scunny account on twitter Dales is getting stuck in…. Just as I say this, Watford have just scored but not doing too badly.
Is he the utility player that was mentioned??anyway another positive attack minded signing,any names on the trialist
No the utility player Cox said was an experienced player who could play in midfield and across the back. The striker mentioned yesterday was somebody we we’re taking on trial, who’s supposed to be playing today so he’s obviously not him either.
This will mean either Eisa, Colclough or Gillead are soon to be out the door. This player is strictly a winger.
According to Cox, we have 1 striker playing tomorrow on trial. We’re looking to sign a utility player with experience and maybe another striker if we can.
I don’t know about the trialist we had the other day though, been quiet on that front so assuming he’s already gone.
Smudger, Mike White said 1, MAYBE 2…we’ll have to wait and see on that front.
Why don’t you get in contact with him 99% and see if you can help him out in some way ?
You never know, with your help you may end up toppling Swannster !
I find it a bit odd we let Sutton leave, especially given how versatile he was. Swann and co then decide to re sign Clarke as captain even though he’ll most likely be out for 70% of the season.
but Crewe didn’t have a team full of kids Burny, Olly Lancashire, Eddie Nolan, Daniel Powell, Chris Porter, Paul Green and Nicky Hunt were all experienced players.
They had experience in their squad but from the middle of the season towards the end, the team picked was largely kids.
Songo’o was a decent enough player but he suffered his fair share of injuries too. Is there one out there who experienced, without a club who doesn’t pick up injuries ever week or two ?
If there is we need him !!
I get what you mean, it appears we’ve gone down the quantity over quality route. I’d rather have 4 strikers who are a bit more of known quantities, instead we have 6 or 7 and they’re all of a similar standing.
You never know our unknowns may turn out to be the next crop of top talents we sell on in the future, awfully risky though taking the approach we’re doing.
Swann seems to think you can replicate Crewe Alexandra and field a team full of kids but the big difference is that that’s been their ethos now for years and years and they’re fully geared up for that approach.
Completely changing tack and doing what we’re doing is starting to give me nightmares for what could be in store.
If, and this is a big if, we sign an experienced CB, RB and Gk before a ball is kicked then we’ll be ok but a young team like this needs an experienced spine. Expecting to do what Crewe is doing all i one go is more than a bit dicey.
There must be players out there on free’s we can look at surely ?. I hope something is done anyway, if not then I genuinely do fear for us.
Fingers crossed it all comes together…we seriously need experience now though.
Already 2 CB’s down, RB down, best striker down and possibly best midfielder heading out. And into the mix we have a shite GK who keeps dropping clangers.
I see a top 6 finish this season.
On a more serious note, if we sell Eisa and use that money to sign 3 players then so be it, if we sell him and sit on the money, I’ll have a serious problem with moving him on.
Now, if we’re clever with the money..sign a CB, RB and possibly a GK, if Swann comes to his sense then fair enough.
Come to think of it, you take Van Veen out upfront…we have no depth up there either. Be an interesting old season this.
I was optimistic but with these injuries it’s dawned on me that the strength and depth just isn’t there. I think I was kidding myself that the kids would be enough but now the season’s starting and the reality is hitting home with these injuries I fear I may have been extremely naive.
I’ll be crossing everything we get a few players in at least before the season starts.
Iron awe, still doesn’t change the fact we desperately need a CB and RB. Swann should never come to the decision we don’t need a GK either, that should be the managers choice, not the chairman’s.
Les, I think he’ll start Spence and Vincent in CM personally, seen as they’re CM’s by trade. I don’t like Gillead in cm, we tried that last season a few times playing him centrally and he’s too lightweight…he’s better out wide.
Gillead’s a good player but he’s hardly a tackler/battler and with the back line we’re going to have, we need all the protection we can possibly field to protect them.
Eisa and Gillead will be out wide for me with Colclough and Dales as back up.
As it stands though we’ll have a complete back line of kids with 3 of the 4 not even playing that many games in league 2 before. Rowe and Cordner haven’t played any. Bedeau needs games and Watson is fragile to say the least.
Not feeling too confident at the minute.
Really worried for us. The little experience we did have within our squad are ALL currently out with injuries.
Van Veen nailed on striker is crocked for the next 2-3 months.
Mcgahey and Onariase out, leaves us with Cordner and Bedeau as starters with young Charlie Barks as back up.
Clarke is perma crocked. By the way, going by what I’ve seen on twitter from what people were suggesting is that either McGahey or Clarke are out injured for a considerable time too.
We had a player on trial who I think was a RB who came on second half so that would suggest Clarke is the player who’s injury is a lot more serious than first thought.
We can’t exactly play Bedeau at RB now with 2 CB’S now out. That would leave us with Barks and Cordner with no other CB on the bench.
No doubt We need to sign a CB and RB pretty sharpish or we’ll be in deep shit.
Van Veens obviously a massive loss but least we have options upfront to call upon, nowhere near as good as him but least they’re there to use.
Another complete calamity by Watson again, he’s just nowhere near good enough…with a young back line we need an experienced, reliable GK.
If Swann doesn’t budge and sign one…I genuinely fear for us.
With Watson it’s getting to the point where it’s mistake after mistake, he’s just not learning.
Put it this way, if it does become a legal matter, I wouldn’t back Max Bell.
Max is forever taking pot shots..it was a matter of time before people down at GP lost their cool and fired back at him.
As a club, we could well do without this crap.
What made Max shoot his mouth off when the club had agreed to sell his books ?. I don’t get him at times. Somebody needs to have a word in his ear because this isn’t the first time.
I’ve said in the past that I didn’t agree with Swann taking fans to court but he’s one I wouldn’t mind Swann putting through the ringer, he’s always shouting his mouth off.
Max Bell’s a pain in the back end.
Uptheiron, this squad is young, is it not ?. Everybody is happy to get behind them, with the only 2 positions causing concern is RB and Gk.
That wouldn’t be the case would it if all of us wasn’t prepared to give youth a chance !
Most people I’ve spoken to can’t wait to see how the younger players to get on. This is the most exciting season for a while, which some may say isn’t a lot but still…people are really optimistic.
Too many times we’ve gone down the route of paying older players fair wedges and have them go through the motions. This is a really refreshing change.
Most people are embracing it Uptheiron, so…why don’t you calm yourself down a tad ?
