Liverpool are the most full of shit side in the word of football. On a par with the codheads. The so called ‘fans’ are even worse. I’d much rather see city win the league than scouse gits every time…

Euthanasia Stella?
I can’t see myself being here beyond that.
Spoken like a true Scunthonian!

Apparently Scunthorpe has one of the highest COPD rates in the country, that tends to kill you pretty early. Wonder if it’s owt to do with that bloody great steel plant off Brigg road 🤔🥵

There’s often a ‘menacing’ haze above the town!
Oh for another menacing Paul Hayes!

City are great to watch if a team is prepared to take them on like Newcastle did yesterday. It is when sides play the 2 banks of 5 to keep the score down that they get very tedius to watch. Passing for passing sake is really dull – not that I blame City. They just keep the ball and wait for the inferior sides to make mistakes.
Personally I love the way Liverpool play simply because they play their game their way whatever the opposition do and just try to score a goal. When they succeed they try and score another one. I am old enough to remember when Manure used to do that.

Yes that was a good watch as well.
It struck me watching both yesterdays Premiership games what the game plan has to be whenever you play a team that has better players than you. You can’t let them settle on the ball and you must maintain a forward threat. Leeds did both for the whole game and Newcastle tried to do it but ran out of steam a little bit.
If you dont press the back 4 and the midfield the defenders start hitting decent passes and the midfield are able to find space. Against poorer teams and if you have a decent defence you might get away with it but not against a bit of quality.
As we demonstrated once again on Saturday we never do this. The back four steps back 10 yards and the midfield sit on their toes. Decent sides then use the freedom of the park to murder you as Solihull showed.
Nuttall had bullied their centre backs for an hour but then was knackered. He should have been replaced by Carver at that point to keep the pressure on their centre backs. At the very least Carver should have joined Nuttall to share the workload. Beeston stepped up to provide a threat to them and was promptly replaced while Butterfield and Feeney were no longer providing any threat. Was Beeston substituted because he was pushing forward?
I don’t know if we do this because Hill tells them to do it or we are just not fit enough or resilient enough to play on the front foot for 90 minutes.
My biggest problem with Cox was that he actually had the team starting games like this.
What we have seen of the National League so far suggests the biggest difference relative to Leagues 1&2 is a lower quality of defending. It does seem though virtually any team is capable of scoring a goal or two.
The way forward for me is to press teams for 90 minutes. Score a goal and repeat if you can until the final whistle goes.
This managing the game malarkey does not work in this league – certainly not with a defence like ours.

We do require a few more players, especially in defence. But I don’t see us getting relegated this season…
Try 4 or 5 players.
Can you seriously not see us relegated with Swann and Hill still in their positions come the end of the season ?

To be honest I like KH, it must be a nightmare having to work with such restrictions. I can’t see him getting four or five more players, because the Swanns won’t let him spend the money required. I hope they do leave, and wish they would hurry the feck up. That is my opinion anyway.
I do NOT believe in this takeover. It’s smoke and mirrors.

I’ve tried to get something out of Neil Wright but he’s gone quiet. Last I was told that he was sure there would be an update on the takeover at the board meeting end of this month but I was told 2 or 3 weeks before there would be an update and there seemingly wasn’t one as after telling he, he went quiet.
I event sent chat transcripts of what he told me so he’s clearly not as informed as some believe he is.
I’m in the camp that believes if it was ever going to happen then it would have happened before now. This is taking way, way too long. Something doesn’t feel right about this at all !
I think it’s fair to say that if there’s no update at the board meeting towards the end of this month it’s safe to assume that it isn’t happening.
I just wish somebody would come out “preferably swannster” and just be honest for once. This uncertainty isn’t doing anybody any favours.

You’re right Wondergoals but don’t expect an honest answer. When have you known Swann to be honest ever! I believe its all been a smokescreen to get fans to spend their well-earned money. If this is what has been done it is absolutely despicable. I wonder if he is waiting and hoping for the football club to fail so that he can sell the land for his wife’s company. Only time will tell but things are looking pretty desperate.
