Should he come? The jury is out. I dont think even SAF could motivate this lot.
I’m not really sure motivation is the problem with this team, I think the hard work is there. It’s more the fact they’re a bit crap, are set up far too defensively and don’t really have a plan on how to score goals or defend.

Agree with that Ferrite. I have watched nearly all of Cox’s 60 odd games live or on iFollow and I have never detected a coherent plan on how we are attempting to score goals.
We sometimes start with a defensive plan but it soon degenerates into most of the team retreating to the edge of our box and imitating a row of traffic cones.
We had motivation issues last season but first half of the Horrorgate game apart the team have put the effort in. I even think the team has considerably more ability than we are seeing – the tactics (or lack of them) that we employ must have the players as frustrated as the fans.

Bit harsh on Millen, he’d just blocked one shot, chased out to close the cross down and it wasn’t his man who scored. Clearly knackered too – which is normal when you spend the entire game without the ball.
BTW, what those highlights don’t show is Barrow’s missed penalty when Millen ran at the penalty taker, clearly screaming something at him!

Another thing I noticed from rewatching that equaliser – we had ten (10) players in our own box. So when the ball broke to the guy on the edge of the area, it’s no wonder there was no one to mark him. Ridiculous.

The win against Tramere was a fluke, due to a penalty which wasn’t really a penalty.
Whichever way you look at it, whichever set of stats you look at we are shocking, and a lot of the evidence suggests it’s down to tactics, time for management changes.Taxi for Cox and Co.

It should be a taxi for the SWANNS too. We watched the Bsrrow match on ifollow. We were a total dmbarrassment. This was down to Cox’s defensive tactics. We had the win in our own hands and Barrow looked a very poor side. Then Cox decides to take off the one player causing them problems, Scrimshaw, who I gave man of the match for the first half. Cox shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near to manage a football team. He is totally inadequate and completely useless. Could this be planned relegation and then liquidation?????

NLI you can’t use Cox and tactics in the same sentence surely.

Appointing Cox was yet another blunder in a long series of blunders in the boardroom at Scunthorpe United.
Given that fact that at the time of Cox’s appointment, the club was in the midst of a major cost cutting exercise, it was essential that the club appointed an experienced manager who had delivered good results whilst working on a shoestring budget. Instead, the board decided it was better to go with a manager who had no experience of the top job in the football league.
This mess is all on Swann, he needs to make a change before we find ourselves further adrift at the bottom of the table.

There has been a long term method in the presumed Swann madness Daz, cut the budget, employ an inexperienced manager, then sit back and wait for the long term method to come to fruition. The chairman is playing a long term strategy here, football has nowt to do with it, we all keep repeating ourselves over Cox but I think the majority are finally getting the full picture now.
