I agree, but not the first thing I’d have said. Sick as a pig.

He is not the man. Should be walking this division with this squad. Totally sucked the confidence from the players over the season with the way he set the team up.
Any competent manager would have had this squad promoted

Set up today was awful, barrows struggled and Beeston on the left has been rubbish there all season, so called big players didn’t turn up,butterfield, roberts,whitehall,sorry jimmy you got it all wrong today,but I will always be thankful to you for helping to hold this club together in our darkest days,but it’s time to go.

What is wrong with CLARKE and CORBETT ? All season we have played without a keeper on the bench, so today he does and we lose an extra outfield player ?
Many have said that JD had no plan B, are you sure he had a plan A ?
New leadership needed and a clearout.

Contract length needs consideration. Can’t be having a lot of the squad thinking they might not be there for much longer come January

Definitely out of contract come the end of the season. I hope to god he’s not been resigned.
Everything in our favour, biggest and best squad the NLN has ever seen, Biggest fan base and Boston had played 120 mins a few days before and looked knackered around 60-70 min mark.
Beestin was dreadful and because Barrows was also at LB we looked lopsided and disjointed. Beestin should have been kept in CM where he looked to be getting back to his best and Kelly should have been in at LB until he’s tired and then bring Barrows on.
Beestin moved from CM is crazy really.
Budget will be cut by 40% next season so Dean’s got absolutely no chance on planet earth of getting us up. I wouldn’t mind Boston’s manager Culverhouse if they don’t get promoted. Least they play in a positive manner with two strikers.

Thought today was a microcosm of Jimmy’s failures for us this year; failed to respond what was happening on the field and too rigid with tactics, for too long.
Very strange to sit so deep and allow Boston to play through us, were we worried about pace ? The subs arrived 10 minutes too late, we were far more direct with 2 up top. Midfield looked disjointed as it has for large portions this year, it may seem harsh given our points total, but there has been warning signs all year against the better sides.
Ultimately you can spin it how you wish, unfortunately I can’t get over the fact we have spent 3 times (possibly more) than anyone else. That is a failure.
I thank Jimmy for his efforts with us if he were to leave, he’s really tried to change the culture at this football club which has been toxic for a number of years. He’s clearly passionate and loved being the manager of Scunthorpe as if it were one of us in the hot seat. But IMO we need someone with more tactical nous, there will be a reduced budget next year as we all know, if we have failed to achieve promotion this year then I see it highly unlikely Jimmy will achieve this aim with significantly less cash at his disposal.

I started to type my own post mortem of yesterday but what’s the point, I agree with everything already said. There’s a dozen ways yesterday could have been done better but he didn’t do it. Everyone could see what was wrong from the first announcement of the team.
Obviously we won’t be able to afford several of the players from this years squad going forward but, honestly, it is time for a massive clear out.
I’ve tried to support JD as much as possible but it has to be over here for him now. Thanks Jimmy and good luck in the future.3 users thanked author for this post.
Any Ironbru members got any names of his replacement ??? my memory keeps drifting back the Admiral Nelson but im sure there are numerous others out there who would consider the challenge.
John Askey who got York out of here and got Macclesfield into the league on a pittance was being mentioned last night.
