Well what a waste of half a tank of petrol and eight hours of my life that was!
At least the Iron fans turned up which is more than the team did.
Powder puff defending (never seen a team have as many free headers against us). Zero creativity. No pace. Nothing!
Completely pathetic, and Harrogate could fill their boots. Surprised it wasn’t 10-1.
Can’t see any way back from here. We’re dead in the water unless drastic (and I mean drastic) measures are taken.

Swann is the main one to blame but Cox is a close second. I get the budget is low but Morecambe had a low budget last season and were promoted so it can be done.
This is Cox’s squad of players he stated had determination and character and supposedly signed “winners”.
Nobody can hide from the fact that this is the 2nd squad of players he’s managed now that’s he’s not been able to organize or get them to listen to him.
This can’t be 2 groups of players fault. Look, Cox I feel sorry for as asking a rookie manager to turn this club around was always too much to ask but he’s absolutely clueless and won’t make it as a football manager, he’s not cut out for it.
The warning signs were there even from the 1st games of the season when Cox commented that at times they were doing what they wanted like last season.
They clearly don’t listen to him and he’s unable to put any kind of structure into, not only this team but the last one too.
Miles out of his depth. In an ideal world Swann would give the clubs assets back and stick the club up for sale shortly after the sacking of Cox but we all know that won’t happen so best we can hope for is Cox to be sacked and for us to sign an experienced manager who may be able to get some organization into the team.
Cox should have been sacked long before now but if he’s still in a job on Monday morning then we really need to protest “peacefully” and really speak up because if it wasn’t serious already, it’s really hit home now.
Even at this early stage, the fat lady is warming her vocal chords.
That was shameful today, really was.
Blackpool is in the opposite direction!

One squad to not have listen to you is bad enough but this is a near new squad of players and it’s happened again.
No structure, No patterns of play. Funnily enough we looked like we started to turn a corner when we had Hippolyte and Pugh in CM but he ripped all that up and we’ve gone backwards.
Cox signed Kenyon and Bunn and they’re both crocks which doesn’t help. Cox said post match that the team was naive but when it was pointed out to him that Davis and Taft we’re experienced at the back and we have other experienced members in the squad he was somewhat caught on the hop.
I would say comfortably that Cox is the worst manager we’ve had by quite a distance. I understand it’s far from easy for him to work under these conditions but to have 2 different squads of players not listen to you is extracting the urine.
Cox’s man management skills must be absolutely shocking in all fairness.

I think you meant to say that he is in the same category as Dickie Rooks and Ron Bradley.
Spot on les but in fairness to WG he wouldn’t have been around when you and I and indeed many others on this forum were witnessing the twin disasters of Rooks and Bradley. Unfortunately looking back at Iron managers from decades ago doesn’t help our current position one iota, maybe a bit of perspective but that’s about it.
