[cassidystash]

Won away last night and probably need to win their last 3 games to give them a chance of play offs. Could make for a different type of game on Saturday which could help us maybe?

[Awaywego]

Should hopefully make for an entertaining game alas that didn’t happen at Warrington they didnt make any effort to win when that what was needed, Not seen many games where teams go toe to toe at each other, i can only think of the Brackley game, disappointing really i haven’t liked the one sided games especially when we haven’t played well ourselves in most of them.
Ever hopefull.

[Sanfran49]

Should but there is the unknown in the equation. That is JD’s ambition to finish on a 3 game winning end of season run !!

[MK Iron]

I’m hoping he can finish on a 6 game winning run.

Won away to Banbury, even Bishop’s Stortford beat them last weekend!

If they had lost or drawn at Banbury then realistically a playoff spot would have been difficult for them but they know if they bag a win at The Attis on Saturday they could still sneak in there. It could be a cracker if they decide to come and have a go, our fans certainly deserve that to happen.

This is a must win match for us, I am like all Scunny fans just hope that JD will play 4-4-2, and go for the Hereford team from the kick off, the team and the fans deserve this.

PREDICTION.

IF THEY PLAY 4-4-2 SYSTEM SCUNTHORPE 3 HEREFORD 0

IF THEY PLAY 1 UPFRONT SCUNTHORPE 1 HEREFORD 1

ATTENDANCE 4,611

League positions in the form table over the last 12 games:

11th Bulls P12 W5 D4 L3 GA23 GA16 GD+7 Pts19
12th Iron P12 W5 D3 L4 G14 GA10 GD+4 Pts18

League positions in the form table over the last 4 games:

8th Bulls P4 W2 D1 L1 G8 GA6 GD+2 Pts7
9th Iron P4 W2 D1 L1 G3 GA1 GD+2 Pts7

It’ll be a tight game.
0-0 or 1-1

[Rene Artois]

Bookies are a bit unsure of the outcome for once:

Iron 1-0 Bulls 6/1
Iron 2-0 Bulls 6/1
Iron 1-1 Bulls 6.5/1
Iron 2-1 Bulls 7/1

Tight game ahead?

[ironfromafar]

A very strong squad and selection headache for JD with a fully fit circa 20 to choose from and this fixture purely depends on how he decides to tactically to address it.
i would like to see 442 and go for it from the KO as im sure Hereford will come to attack as they need points to get into the play offs

Fitz (obviously no one else)
Ogle Kouogun (Boyce or Evans??) Denton
Butterfield Scales Roberts Corbett
Whitehall Elliot

Bench DSF, MacAlinden (Boyce or Evans,Kelly Pugh.

If we attack play with pace and i can see us winning by 2 … 3-1
If its the slow sideways style .. 0-0 or 1-1

Final prediction is a tight 2-1 win for Scunny

Hereford finished with 9 men though. Bans effective today maybe?

In this league, bans don’t kick in for seven days so they’ll be available today.
Edit, I’m not sure which match they were sent off in.

[MK Iron]

Wednesday against Banbury.

[Awaywego]

When did we let Youmbi go I can’t remember seeing anything.

[ironfromafar]

Todays staring line up and its not 442

Corbett can get a sniff like the look of him.

[Ironawe]

Good to see the tactical genius that is Dean recognise the game changer when we went two up top. Clueless

Is Clarke out of favour?
Disappointed that we have only one up front but – as long as JD switches over quickly if his scheme ain’t working …

Just dont get why JD seems so anti to start 442.

Clarke for Pugh IMO ..and Corbett should be in playing alongside Whall

[Awaywego]

Tale of 2 halves first we were poor again and it wasn’t just the wind, put a foot in and tackle do the simple things simple, Fitz shouldn’t have conceded the corner they scored from just come out and collect the ball.
Now the second half what a cracker on the front foot played at pace and left a few goals out there as well, thought Whitehall was fantastic without getting on the score sheet some of the layoffs sublime, how nice to play against a team that wanted to play as well.

Completely agree Awaywego I’d have given Whitehall MOTM today, he did what I’ve always wanted him to do just play like a proper centre forward, great watch second half. They came and had a go and had some good wingers but it just shows that even when good teams come and have a go they leave the gaps and spaces our better players can exploit. Roberts and Butterfield were great second half and Beestin will never strike a better goal in his life, what an excellent afternoon’s entertainment.

Whitehall had a great second half, but Roberts was the turning point and was sublime. I can’t see how MOM could be anyone else to be honest.

[Iron-awe]

Hoping the Roberts substitution was just saving legs because he didn’t look injured walking off to me.

[Ironfan]

I didnt know they’d had a man sent off until I got home! Anyone know what it was for?

[Awaywego]

Twas Whitehall that fed him his opportunity though Siderite, great free kick from Robert’s that deserved to go to in as well, yes hard to call between the 2 for man of the match.

[iron64]

Rare thing today a ref took their time over a decision and rightly didn’t send Whitehall off. He didn’t touch the players face despite him holding it. Linesman flagged for a tangle nothing more. Ref not great but for that decision full credit to him.

No players sent off, just both assistant managers, handbags in the dugout.

[Ironawe]

Great second half with wind with us, Roberts was special and I still like the look of Corbett – he could be a real asset in the playoffs. Works his socks off as well

Sub Adam Rooney red carded in the 64th minute. Technically, not sent off as he didnt come on.

Both correct. Adam Rooney is player & assistant manager.

Dean said he had a very slight calf strain, but should be fine. I get the impression it was more precautionary.
