A bit of a camel ride for their boys on Tuesday. A round trip of 300 miles and approximately 7 hours total travelling.
Since being thrashed 7-1 by Buxton, their games have being remarkably tight. 7 draws since that drubbing. Only once have they lost by more than one goal (0-2) since the Buxton binge.
You can imagine them coming, parking the bus and targeting a point.Iron 2-1 Marketmen
3-0 is the bet to be on Rene, be quids in already if you’d backed it every week..

Please don’t set him off, we don’t want 20 spread sheets over four posts explaining why we need to be cautious this evening, mercy please mercy.

Expect the crowd to be down from Saturday, three home games in a week, cold January night plus Needham bringing one man and his dog to watch. Don’t think their fans will be challenging the DRE when it comes to atmosphere making.

Shite game, shite performance but did more than enough to see them off, never got going all game.
Got to say well done Butler 9 points from 9 cant do any better than that, handled the subs better as well.
Ps missed Clunan big time.

Players looked tired and need the rest coming up. Not a great performance, but 3 points is 3 points.

Good result but a hard watch after the first 10 minutes.
How much is the pitch playing a part for the players looking a bit ‘leggy’. It is an absolute disgrace and must be affecting the players. Some things you can’t go cheap on and the pitch is one of them.
At least they now have a period of rest now with no game in the immediate future.

We seem to be able to ‘play’ for about 20 minutes in total per match. The rest is really difficult to watch. But credit to Butler and the team – 9 points is more than I thought we’d get from these three home games on the bounce.

For the first twenty minutes it was our best showing of all three games then the last 70 minutes were the poorest. Thought young Rose had his poorest game yet in an Iron shirt but he wasn’t alone in looking distinctly average on the night. Highlights were two cracking goals from Scales and Roberts but really after 9 points out of 9, 8 goals scored and 4 conceded we shouldn’t complain, I think the players and the fans all need a rest after the last 8 days.

Rose did struggle last night, I’d give him the benefit of the doubt though and say that it was mostly down to the fact that he’s a young kid trying a bit to hard to impress in his first taste of first team football.
Most of his errors came from him trying to do a bit too much going forward when a simpler option would’ve been better, he’s still learning and better decision making is something that has to come with experience.I also thought we missed Clunan last night, the knock on effect being that we also missed Beestin’s influence further up the pitch.
