Pics 4-3 Moors
Penalty guide for Fitz.
They defend like the keystone cops.
The Congolesian, Nkalambi-Maisidi catches the eye.
Danny Waldron bags a brace and looks to be a decent target man.
Great first Moors goal.

Highlights: Rushall Olympic 4 Moors 3

16 goals for the Pics this season nets Waldron a move to the Shrimpers:

Last Saturday’s game.
Pics 2-2 Curzon

Another long throw to deal with.
Their delivery from corners looks good from what I’ve seen in these two YouTube videos.

My second revision:

Iron 2-0 Pics

As poorly as we are playing, we should have more than enough to despatch these by a minimum of 2 goals.

If we don’t take all three points, then there’s something wrong!

Player power? Do they not respect / like plating for Jimbob?

Let’s see how we go tomorrow!

[Deereyme66]

Do they not respect / like playing for Jimbob / understand what he’s on about / understand the game plan?

[Iron-awe]

Didn’t we beat them comfortably 3-0 at their place earlier this season?, mind you we beat Tamworth at their place and look how that worked out. If we don’t beat this lot on Saturday then something is going wrong and needs sorting.

Possibly the reason for recent performances. Most of the squad have experience above the level of JD, if half of them follow JD’s game plan (if there is one) and the others think they know better and do their own thing there’s little wonder we look disjointed.

[WonderGoals]

There is a game plan there, cassidy, only problem is there is only one and when that doesn’t work we’re fooked.

Dean is wanting the team to play a really nice, league style of football with measured build up which worked when we had the craft of Smith, Roberts out wide and when Butterfield was having the impact he was having but he’s trying to play the same brand of football but the players just aren’t available anymore to play that way.

Playing that way is fine if you have the creativity and that bit of magic within the side but we haven’t got that now. I’d stiffen the midfield up and go more direct but to do that we’d either need two upfront or a player in the no 10 role behind Whitehall.

Comfortable win but not really a comfortable performance.

Be interesting to see how the team and management respond, Tuesday was a big psychological hit.

A wolf pup in our lair tomorrow.

Hereford’s fifth signing in eight days sees highly rated left back leave Pics following a “7 day approach”.

Lucas Tibbs leaves the Pics for Stafford Town FC

Being just five points above the relegation zone, are they offloading in anticipation of relegation?
Cutting the playing costs?

One in on loan from Derby County:

BREAKING: We have signed our second attacking Owen of the day!

No, it's not you @themichaelowen – please step forward pacy front-runner Owen Oseni from @dcfcofficial, who arrives on loan for the rest of the season: https://t.co/U8HLL9ohLb#ShareThePicsPassion pic.twitter.com/qU6wm51FKN

Lots of recent ins & outs.

Ronan Maher joined 7 days ago from Walsall.
They seem to be taking young (18-21) uns on loan from the bigger guns much higher up the pyramid.

After watching Jimbob’s pregame thoughts, I think we are in trouble tomorrow.

He lacks confidence, is nervous, edgy, unsure of himself. He doesn’t inspire and is monotonal. He lacks belief.

https://www.scunthorpe-united.co.uk/news/2024/february/-player-team-news-and-views-from-jimmy-dean-ahead-of-rushall-olympic-clash/

When we feel stress, the small capillaries on the skin surface tend to fill and cause redness and itchiness on the nose. Thus, we tend to rub the itch. Touching the nose is a pacifying behaviour to relieve stress.

Any sort of neck rubbing, hair playing, face touching, or hand fidgeting is a sign of subconscious nervousness.

Folded arms…
Expressionless face…
Monotonal voice…

We’re going to struggle!

With their new arrivals, our poor performances and neutered formation, I’m going back to my earlier predictions.

Tomorrow has now become a big game, a key game following Tuesday defeat.

[another fed up fan]

Would love to see 4-0 Scunny back on the bus 3700 att
But after Tuesday and watching Mr Dean’s video today it looks like he has no confidence so 1-2 att 3700 hope I am wrong.

[bartonscorpion]

My forcast for this game is SCUNNY 2 RUSHALL 0

ATTENDANCE 3’201 the one is my eldest son coming from Derby for his fifth home game on the trot,e must be mad ha ha.

Similar to you Rene after watching JDs rather sombre uninspiring pre match chat with James Moody .. something has /is going wrong and needs sorting out , the players seem to have lost interest are they questioning the managements tactic s ? not easy to predict but ..

Head n heart will take a tight nervy Iron 2-1 win
However my gut feeling is a 1-1 draw
Att just under 4k

Liam McDonald (39 later this month) is the man in the opposition technical area.

If Old McDonald gets the better of Jimbob today, will they be carting the Iron manager off to the funny farm?

McDonald’s clubs as a player:
Redditch
Tamworth
Kettering
Barwell
Halesowen
Sutton C.
Hednesford
Worcester City

If he steers the former mining village team to a win at the AAA (Attis Attack Arena) they’ll give him a golden pick.

[Sanfran49]

JD’s pre-match and post match do not inspire. He seems irritated that he has to do them.

[Dubai fan]

What absolute tosh, the poor guy is obviously uncomfortable in front of the camera as can be seen by the nervous itches he has. This is nothing different from any interviews earlier in the season. Support the guy/team when they need it instead of spreading more nervousness

As above, JD’s discomfort giving interviews has been mentioned before and his nervous fidgeting is nothing new, the guy is under pressure after Tuesday night but let’s not make out it’s anymore than that, the interview was very similar in style to most he has given this season. We need a win that is obvious and we should just get behind the team as usual on matchday and hope JD and the players have got the Tamworth game out of their system . UTI.

He’s obviously just uncomfortable in front of the camera. I’m the same, hate being on camera, having to present things to people and get all twitchy/nervous. I wouldn’t read too much into it really.

3-0 comfortable Iron victory today
3750 ~ 18 away
