I’m sure he outlined another 5 matches but let’s face it, what the hell is he going to do in another 5 matches which he hasn’t done in the last 50 odd ?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Scunthorpe team so lacking in direction….no structure, no patterns of play and very little cohesion.
We do the same all the time. Huff and puff, run around a lot without usually creating much, come out second half and play half as good as we played the 1st half and let in 2 or 3 goals due to slack marking and positional play.
Honestly, it’s like groundhog day. Cox clearly can’t get through which he wants to the players and he’s had 2 squads to get his point across and for the most part has failed on both occasions.
Cox told the players 2nd half against Newport to pass through midfield and build the play and he said they just kept playing it long so he’s telling them and they’re clearly not listening so clearly they’ve lost faith in him.
As I said above, this has happened to 2 squads of players now and he’s the common denominator. I can’t understand Swann giving him another 5 games, I’d get shut now and move on.
When Swann said he thinks we could/should have had 7 more points I nearly turned it off. Seriously, what the hell is this bloke on about ?
What’s he been doing ?…anything Scunthorpe United related, I’m pretty sure he’s been wearing earplugs and covering his eyes because to think that….Jesus Christ.
That’s denial at it’s finest. I shouldn’t really be too surprised though thinking about it, as this is the bloke who fancied himself as a footballing man along with other plonkers and signed Turan and Jarvis to 2yr contracts despite there being no manager at the club.
Have you seen Turan’s record ?. I doubt Stevie Wonder would have sanctioned that transfer lol

Never thought I would say this but Cox is worse than Wilcox, and I hated Wilcox.
A will cox and a can’t Cox led by a complete Cock.
Two many Cocks spoil the broth.

4-0 down at Harrogate after 30 mins.
Its gone from embarrassing to heartbreaking 46 years plus of support and this is the lowest point ever!
Got to go NOW! . He shouldn’t even be allowed to manage the second half.

That’s FIVE, BTW.
Cox cannot and must not survive this horror.3 users thanked author for this post.
He should resign for his own sake, we need new blood running it and send the loanees back as well and make do with the lads

We need someone who is intolerant to lackadaisical effort and who will gladly put juniors in when more senior players do not deliver.
Sadly les you have not highlighted the one vital quality any Iron manager must have. Yes sir.

He won’t be removed for at least another 9 games, the top mans plans are working to well for that. Oh and spite .. probably just about the right word if you ask me

Les, do Forest Green have 700 fans? Could be quite a bit less than that I reckon.
1 user thanked author for this post.
FGR wont bring more than 150 fans they just don’t have the support like other clubs do. Attendance on Saturday if no change in manager will be I think under 2,000

Keith Hill and Ronnie Moore are without jobs and Keith Hill in particular is well know for getting the best out of solid if unspectacular players. Hill’s teams don’t play silky football but least they’re hard to beat.
That’s what we need at the minute, as currently we’re boring and as soft as shite to play against.

A poor display away at Barrow with a second half capitulation, virtually every player less the home side goalkeeper in the Iron box when Barrow equalised.
Robbie Gotts and Ollie Banks took the mickey and were not closed down all the second half. The statistics say we had possession for only 19.5% of the game making 167 passes with a 46 % accuracy, Barrow meanwhile made 691 passes 87 % accurate in their 81 % possession.
You cannot win games without the ball. If the squad is good enough as Ernest believes it wont be with this manager.
Cox has to go NOW…………….

Are We waiting for Grant and Cliff to become available. With their payoff they may work for peanuts to earn a contract by keeping us up.

Impressively poor stats. Our passing was bad last year and seems to have got worse.
Absolutely – but most of those “passes” weren’t passes. They were clearances. Aimless hoofs into space. There was hardly any attempt to keep the ball or to try to build an attack. We completely surrendered possession whenever we got it. The only thing I can compare it to is that famous Barcelona v. Inter Milan game when Inter put 11 (then 10) men behind the ball for 90 minutes to get through to the final. But that was quite a good Inter side!
I would love to be proved wrong but past history shows Swann has been very quick to sack .. something has changed where now he is so reluctant to give Cox n Lillis the boot when they are so clearly inept at all aspects of football management .. for sure the longer Swann for whatever reason doesnt sack them it will come to the point its just too late who ever comes in post Cox Lillis.. the damage will be done and beyond repair if its left much longer .. a win at home on Saturday against Crawley would certainly keep them at the helm longer .. silly but would another home defeat this weekend be enough for then to be dismissed ??? i doubt it .
Kieth Hill isnt a manager im familiar with need to read up on him and his past positions etc.

Just been reminiscing and looking on the old site, so many reminders of the good times and also wasn’t swamped with adverts and was lightenimg speed.
I was trying to find who it was that was always banging on about Keith Hill and how we should have him as manager, anyone going to own up, you might still get your wish?1 user thanked author for this post.
