Should have been out of sight before the late substitutions. But for the ref and the lack of a proper goal scorer.

Elliot has been and still is a goal scorer at this level, but has never been properly utilized. Stick Elliot upfront with Whitehall and he’d net regularly.
I find it non the least surprising that we’ve changed up to 2 upfront twice and he’s scored shortly after on both occasions. That isn’t a coincidence it just goes to prove what we’ve all said numerous times before, Elliot isn’t a wide player or lone striker.

Will do.
But… many threads make a web.
One in which we are snared.
The common denominator is…
Pity we’re skint – in days gone by we might be changing the nameplate on the door.1 user thanked author for this post.
Commentated the other day Dean saw moving Elliot off the wing into the centre worked and playing a proper winger WG , I questioned whether he would remember come Tuesday and obviously he didn’t.
From what I’ve read didn’t watch or listen myself, just another normal away performance for this season, people going on about Tamworth and their results, when all that’s needed is to concentrate on our own results and performances and we all know they’ve being woefully short of being a side that wins the league, if there were 7 decent teams in the league we would be 7th.Just need to hit some form near the end of season ready for the playoffs, just 2/3 games we definitely need to win nothing else will do.

If Butterfield was ill why was he on the bench ?

Watched it on stream Awaywego and I would say it was different to most of our away performances this season.
That was more down to Blyth than ourselves. They deliberately stood off us and kept a rigid defensive shape. We were allowed to pass at will across the back four and pretty much across the midfield with them thinking we would be ponderous and lack creativity in those areas. They got that right.
We did create and squander a few chances and had a perfectly good goal disallowed and if we had scored earlier we would probably have won comfortably against what was a fairly poor side.
As it was we scored late and then did the Iron speciality of sitting back and “managing” the game. Roughly translated this means surrendering the initiative until we make schoolboy errors to hand them a goal. This time Wilson and Fitzsimons managed to drop a clanger each in the same move.
If we had played with any pace and purpose we would surely have scored 4 or 5. Butterfield doesn’t half look good when he doesn’t play.

Pedantic I know, but 8th, surely?

Adkins used to defend poor performances and have you coming away thinking “we’ll be fine” because he’d have that way of making you believe in the team. I can’t imagine Dean having that effect.
