Pointless December

[Anonymous]

3/12 Scunthorpe v Notts County
10/12 Yeovil v Scunthorpe
13/12 Scunthorpe v Woking
26/12 Scunthorpe v Chesterfield

Will we even get a point in December?

[Northumbiron]

I’ll stick my neck out and say ONE!

[SD0101]

Things look promising for December,we had a defensive training day on Tuesday and an attacking day on Thursday maybe next week they might fit in a midfield and goalkeeper day so all looks rosy for next month

[Pat O’Cake]

6 points from 12 is my prediction.

2 big league spankings in those fixtures.
Wrexham will embarrass us in the cup.
🥺

[RoamingBull]

Nil point with Daws in charge.
Lucky to get another 15 points before end of the season.
If the sale doesn’t go through soon it will be curtains.

4pts from.a possible 12 in December is my prediction .. thats 1 win n a draw… not 4 draws

[CMC]

Yeovil are bad, but not as bad as us..only one that’s possible..

Come New Years Eve, I believe we will have 15 points from 25 games.

That means we will finish the season on 27 / 28 points.

Will we escape relegation next year from the NLN?

Wave the flags, fist pump your chest, even kiss the badge.
The truth is:

We ain’t good enough!

We all know that captain obvious

[mistertonmick]

Bloke who sits near me joked to Ian Sharp at half time we need 8 new players, Ian replied 11.

Perspective, how many teams have Notts County beaten this season, how good are they compared to the bottom half of teams in the National League? These are obvious and easy questions to answer, we need changes, that’s another obvious answer, we need investment, obviously, it will take time and patience before change arrives.

Bravo Mr Sharp.
It is as bad as it seems.
In fact, it’s worse!

[MK Iron]

Notts County showed us the level you need to be at to stand a chance of getting out of this leagues at the right end.

It’s about 5 years since we have had a team that would have beaten them.

Shows how difficult it will be to get back into the EFL. County have been throwing cash at it for 5 years and still have not managed it. We look like we will have to win a promotion before we even get a shot at it.

We should be able to enjoy mid table consolidation in the NLN next season?

[Awaywego]

Could agree with most of that Ironawe, but changes should be immediate, the new owners should know by now who they want as manager so go get him and let him build for the following season in NLN.

I hope they’ve got deep, deep pockets or a massive loan / overdraft arranged with creditors at an extremely good rate?
Otherwise, like most of the others, we’ll end up servicing a debt.

Rather a bold statement don’t you think?

But the new owners are not the new owners yet are they?

At the current PPG, if the ‘form’ was to continue, then that’s what we’d end up with.

50 points will keep us up.
So we need 35 points from the next 24 games.
10 wins & 5 draws.

It ain’t going to happen.

Bookies know it.
So do we.

[Anonymous]

1/6 ON to be relegated now.

That equates to an implied probability of relegation of 85.7%

[Anonymous]

Bookies now have four at ODDS ON to be relegated:

Scunthorpe 1/6
Torquay 4/7
Gateshead 8/13
Maidstone 5/6

[backofthenet18]

What price are we to stay up?

[ironfromafar]

taking all into consideration even with the new ownership bounce the only points we may pick up will be Yeovil .. alas im not hopeful n as the thread header suggests a pointless December a distinct possibility.

[Always Iron]

Diehard Iron fan or not, any amount of optimism since the takeover has to be crushed once you view the league table. Horrendous stats and only 15 points and a team which can ship goals quite easily with minimal effort required by the opposition. I think it will be quite a miraculous recovery if we manage to achieve 5th bottom this season. I really hope we can do it with some sort of intervention from our saviours, new players manager etc but I have already been looking to see if there is consessions for 60+ at Curzon Ashton.

[Iron-awe]

I think a reasonable comparison can be made with our fishy friends when they changed hands, they went down then came back up straight away, albeit from this league back to the EFL. Good chance we can do the same next season from the NLN back up to the NL.

1 point from the last two months football.

1 point from 8 league games.

Lock the doors!

Do I win a prize?
