Never mind the FB group, SST has told us already.

Points deduction Lol. Massive pitch invasion at Chesterfield v Oldham including a mass brawl £5000 fine lets not get carried away.
Don’t be flippant. A fine of any amount will be a kick in the teeth for fans who have voluntarily given up their time to help the club and made donations large and small

The way I see it we lost an OK right back and have a replacement arguably more suited to the league we are in
(stronger in the air in both boxes).OK we have lost the best footballing midfielder in the division but he did struggle when man marked and pretty much stopped us playing with a high intensity in midfield.
Otherwise all other first choices are here.
We were no fitter last season than the part time teams. Butler seems determined to change that which will help greatly.
We also had a manager with little tactical nous. If Butler and Schofield have any idea then surely that will help. If a couple of our signings work out well my glass is half full.

A better organised and fitter squad could count for a lot. Perhaps a little ‘lighter’ on paper but a fat lot of good having a better squad on paper did us last season. Key will be working better as a team and there’s no reason to suggest that the management team can’t get the best from them, particularly as many now know each much better.

Butterfield will be a miss but as mention above, he was quickly nullified by way less talented players with more energy. Ogle was solid but his final ball into the box was awful and defending at times wasn’t great to say the least.
I suspect Butler and Schofield will have more nous then Jimmy, who reminded me of a low league Southgate. Butler has already said we’re to play with two up top which is better right from the off.

We had better quality players than Tamworth, they won the league easily. This could suggest that, in this league, quality isn’t the only answer in the search for success.

The lottery of which ref you get being another factor!
I’d settle for that Portuguese ref who took charge of Austria v Turkey the other night, more like him please absolutely outstanding compared to the dross in this country.

I predict another season of ‘blame the ref’ when we lose or draw; conveniently forget or ignore them when we win.

Apart from the bozo away at Spennymoor the refereeing was incompetent and inconsistent rather than anything sinister.
Biggest issue for me is how easy it is to buy a free kick whilst at the same time deliberately disruptive petty fouls go unnoticed or unpunished.
This is why anti football tactics still work and are fairly widely used at this level whilst it’s much less prevalent in the EFL these days. In the Premier League it’s gone which is the biggest single benefit of VAR (arguably the only benefit).
At least part of the reason why quality alone isn’t guaranteed to bring success.

Yes awaywego, let’s take ‘Keith’ Alexander’s word for it, distrust our own club’s version of events and use it as another stick to beat it with. Like a stuck record

Kieth Alexander not happy with our club over the cancellation of the Bradford game, said our club just rung up with a matter of fact conversation just calling the game off, no offer of a different date or moving it to Bradford.
That’s no way to treat other teams especially ex managers, always useful to keep in with them re friendlies and loan players. Reporter said he was fuming as they’d only agreed to move the kickoff time the week before at Scunthorpes bequest and no inkling given at that time.I assume you mean Graham Alexander.
However, this was reported on the Scunthorpe website.
Someone’s telling porkies.With that in mind, a difficult decision has been taken to withdraw from the friendly with the Bantams to allow the pitch to continue with its progress unchallenged for an additional two weeks. Unfortunately, a reversal of the fixture is also not possible, with Bradford’s pitch also not set to be ready by this date.
Awaywego will say it’s Scunny telling porkies. He doesn’t trust anyone from the club unless they’re a convicted fraudster and serial liar.
