Next up – Peterborough Sports

[Iron-awe]

Just got my ticket from the club office for Saturday, according to the young lady behind the counter Peterborough Sports have purchased 30 tickets so far, let’s hope a few pay on the dayers turn up in the away end or else it will be very quiet in there 😴

Their opening match had 352 spectators- 170 were from Scarborough!

That’s about normal for them. If Posh are away, those who don’t travel and want to see a game tend to go to Stamford or Spalding.

so on the eve of our first home game of the NLN campaign here are my predictions.

Score 1-1 (both goals in the second half).
Att 2899 away 56
Iron scorer Elliot assist by new fella with long name
DH there wearing a Scunny home shirt
SG food well received
Mullets 50
Fans with covid 1

Draw 10/3

The lowest priced score is:

I’ll go 3-1 to the Iron (10/1)

Just listened to JDs usual laid back preview for tomorrow and interesting to note the strong possibility more senior players going on loan elsewhere .. hes been pulled by players who want minutes .. i hope he means Pugh Rance DSF etc and not the likes of Kelly or Law.

I did notice he was constantly scratching either his leg or his gonads during the interview .. maybe he should go see the club doctor..

[Iron-awe]

Think JD comes across as quite nervous in his interviews, it’s not everyone’s bag is it, probably prefers just working and communicating with the players and coaching staff but unfortunately PR comes within the role of team manager.

Do non-league clubs have club doctors?
Arm & a leg to see a doctor face to face these days!

Peterborough Sports can’t keep winning – they’ve lost their manager.

[Greenun]

Match abandoned half time due to massive thunderstorm. Iron winning 1-0. I’m late for my tea due to ref taking his time to make the decision.

[Awaywego]

I’m expecting a big win today after last week’s poor but predictable performance, 4 or more goals for the iron, they are capable just got to get on the front foot and not the back.

[Iron-awe]

I’m hoping today’s performance is going to be an indication of how successful we are expected and going to be this season. Come on Iron 4-0.

No one likes a smart-arse!

[premier iron]

Whitehall cost us the match missed at least 5 easy chances including the penalty

[Awaywego]

Oh dear we turned what should have been a walk in the park into a bit of a disaster really, never mind we’ve still got a point more than we should have that’s the end of the positives,Why don’t we do the simple stuff simple Whitehall got lucky with the pen rebound and had a simple tap in,oh no I’m not having any of that ill knock the skin off the ball and miss the clever bastard, Beestin with a 3 and 2 on and doesn’t give the simple pass away how many times did we not play it simple or the right ball, not Whitehall’s finest game missed pen, simple tap in, fell over twice when he might have scored, but Elliot brought nothing can they not be on the same pitch at the same time, why all the subs when were in the ascendency, still a lack of urgency all across the pitch, corner in added time we take it short, get a throwing with seconds to go waste twenty seconds for Ogle then to take it short so the ref blew up, massive improvement from last Saturday but very frustrated and disappointed, if you hadn’t noticed I’m sure I’m not alone.

I said that at the end of last season.
Nothing spent on it during the summer break.
It’ll get worse very quickly.

[Awaywego]

Is that from a trustworthy source Siderite?

[Siderite]

My eyes.

[Sharp_Shooter24]

I agree the pitch was no where near first game of the season standard.

I thought some of the play today was good but there’s no penetration to what we are doing, we look toothless when we get in front of goal.
So much over passing and going backwards with no cutting edge.

4-3-3 Absolutely no chance, I can’t remember the front 3 attacking together to create a goal scoring opportunity once!

Peterborough sports are poor but they are effective lumps and always looked more likely to score even with very little possession.

My final thought…
Butterfield is way too good for this league!!
We will be in the s!*t if he goes
