If they didn’t think we needed stengthening before then hopefully this is a wake up call.
Conceding last minute to Oxford City at home is just not acceptable, poor management, wedded to a formation that history shows is hard
for the players and produces poor footballOh dear. Poor performance from the Iron. I don’t think we will be top of the league after the Chester game and it may be some time before we regain it! But it will be a different Scunthorpe side ( either in the way we play or personnel) when we do. Buttlerball has had its day!

Not there today but too be honest I’ve not been convinced. Some kept stating when we play well someone is going to get a pasting.
Don’t think we are good at all.2 users thanked author for this post.
1 win in 6, contract extension form.

Hands up if they would rather see a striker and a nasty midfielder instead of contract extensions so early in the tenure.

Pitiful. It was too early to moan before a ball was kicked or after 2 or 3 games, but things have been souring for a while. The crucial thing was to learn from signs of weakness and improve, so that those instances would only be a blip.
Only it hasn’t and Butler and the team have seemingly learned nothing. Every game the midfielders get nullified, the wing backs stay pretty much rooted to the back, with little outlets up front. Without Roberts we’d be screwed.
The game management was abysmal. Every corner would have every man back to defend and we couldn’t escape. That’s not game management, that’s blind hope that we can hold on to a win. Against a team 23rd in the table.

How to assess that?
How can you put a positive spin on it?
Here’s the last 4 game form table.

Thanks for that Rene. I think that form table says it all. I don’t think we are any where close to pasting anybody. If anything, we are due a pasting! Our next league opponents could well provide it! I have decided not to do any more “scouting” reports. Knowing our opponents weaknesses are useless if we cannot play to exploit them. Knowing our weaknesses and our opponents strengths just makes me depressed!

Executing contract extensions as if we are still an EFL club.
We are not.
At this level, 12 months is a long contract.
Many players change clubs 2 or 3 times a season.
Do we have a single player at the club whom is worthy of longer than a seasonal contract?
It doesn’t appear so.

The top of the league thing made sense when it was one below par performance. I don’t think it can be used now after repeated errors that should have been nipped in the bud a few weeks ago.

Lets face it
We are a poor team at the moment and will not get promoted this season .. sadly my prediction of 7th to 12th is looking oh to good.3 users thanked author for this post.
