I don’t rate Millen at all and I’m starting to worry about the lack of width when we attack.
I want wingers who hug the line, have chalk on their boots etc…
Stay wide and keep options available for the switch or counter!
Then it’s all about balls into the box, good quality balls for the front lads to attack3 users thanked author for this post.
You can tell I had a couple of beers last night watching the Villa game hence my glass was half full.
It’s half empty again this morning. We are not going to move upwards until we can pose a goalscoring threat from free play. Not going to happen unless Feeney, Nuttall, Sinclair and Pyke show us more than we have seen so far.

All four you mentioned MK are playing the fitness game as is Grant but they are better alternatives to the ones we shipped out, Davies, Kenyon! No thanks! I’m glad they are here and I trust Hills judgement.

Topics: 13False dawn ? Well that started when Peter Swann got control, but that will be a recurring nightmare until he has gone.
15 games left – so get back to 442, back to basics and go for a win in EVERY game. Still think we aren’t and there is why we are continuing to fail !

The Albatross headed our way years ago just doing it’s final lap of GP.
The ship will sink soon enough and will struggle to be raised.
See the teams that are down in the National league with the money they are spending to get out with gates far greater than ours and are still struggling.
Unfortunately too many folk have left to never return.
Could forgive the OSG scruffiness,Loved going to OSG. GP for me has never really had it since the corner got home fans went.
Now it’s just so stale everyone spends more time chatting and on there mobile phones due to the fayre on offer.From being one of the most envious small clubs to this in such a short space of time.
It’s a truly sad and angry time to be an Iron fan.4 users thanked author for this post.
even with all its dated facilities,faults n cracks i prefered the Old Show Ground to GP ,,Donny road end n the walk from Brit to the ground there was an atmosphere that GP never really had or will never have again at GP.
It was a more entertaining better value way to spend a few hours ……..i much preferred the away days after moved to GP a way better gig.1 user thanked author for this post.
Happy days indeed down at the OSG with Grandad. Always recall Spanish Flea being played pre match- funny how a tune sticks with you 50 years later !!! Then entering teenage years I felt like a big lad being allowed in the donny road end with mates.Also had great times at Glanford Park ( NOT the sunny seaside sand venue entertainement place) with son. With also great away days under King Addo.
What is going on is truly tragic. It has been predicted for a few years now but it is finally coming.
Sadly,every great thing has its day and im afraid that day is nearly there. Thank God for memories !!1 user thanked author for this post.
Yeah maybe Cass but I don’t write off young players because of the odd mistake or odd poor game, it happens to youngsters. Grant you Millen has improved of late but wouldn’t be surprised if he’s shown the door in May. We just need better then him but of course our budget next season will be £500,000 less won’t it, so maybe like relegation we will continue to have to accept the dross that comes with it.

I have to disagree there ironawe. I’ve bashed Millen in the past but he’s never really had a proper run of games due to injuries. Millen’s impressed me of late. I think he’s playing pretty well.
I won’t say Millen’s our best ever RB because I’d be lying, but he’s way better than Matheson who looks a fecking death trap.
One gripe I have with Hill is that he keeps playing odd players out of position. Why did he not play Lewis at LB who was fit and had 2 games rest prior to Swindon ?
As Mick said further up, we should go 4/4/2. Same back 4. Grant in the middle with Beestin. Feeney and Sinclair out wide with Nuttall and Burns upfront.
I will go back to playing odd players strangely out of position as my number 1 annoyance though, it really wasn’t needed yesterday at all..not with young Lewis fit.

i get the team sheet via a notification as it is posted and some times i have to do a double take or think theres a mistake as Hill has played players out of position quite often .. the Swindon line up was a tad strange.
IMO
decent keeper
Manny n Delaney pretty solid
Grant experienced a good player we snagged
from there on it seems to go pear shaped with little midfield creativity pace on the wings and cant score a goal for toffee.Bearing in mind we will more than likely be in the NL next season ive started following it more n more .. its real tight at the top with only 1 auto promo spot and another via a difficult play off route.
Any members on here care to offer a prediction on who will be promoted from the NL this term??
Im going for Stockport cos of there money and Bromley with the bigger boys Chesterfield , Wrexham, Notts County etc all missing out and in the mix with Scunny next season … OH not forgetting the Cods .. their fans are bouyant again after 2 wins and crowing how they will go up visa the NL play off route I HOPE NOT

I think most teams in the NL will “do for us”
The squad we have now would be pulverised in the NL, most of them would struggle to get in a team in the top half.

We’d definitely struggle against top half teams and I think that’s the future.
