This season’s failures is not down to Rory, infact he’s made some really good saves and kept us in a few games.

I agree about Rory he has improved but unfortunately the defence in front of him, who I thought initially would have improved from last season, just hasn’t turned up. Just hope his confidence won’t suffer as a result.

Really feel for Rory, gets little protection game after game and rarely do I hear any compliment from the manager.
That is what is wrong.

If we had 11 players that had performed as well as Rory in every game this season we would be in the top half of the table.
For me the only one to match his consistency has been Pugh and he got dropped because “he didn’t train well”
He has been replaced by 2 loanees that have yet to make a tackle between them.

I have no doubt he will be dropped, par for the course down at GP now.

Why destroy his confidence by benching him when he doesn’t deserve it?
Last season has got no relevance to his current form and he is playing well enough to keep his place.4 users thanked author for this post.
You’re exactly right wouldn’t make much difference which ever keeper is in goal. But the main culprit of our present demise is SWANN. He is the one who hired Cox, he is the one who can fire him and have a go at keeping us in the football league, but is it too late anyway now that he has done all the damage to Scunthorpe United. Remember words are cheap and count for nothing if they are not followed by actions.

Spot on, you’ve hit the nail on the head. SWANN AND COX OUT.

Many say Alexander should have stayed. For me – no. We were dropping down the league from 1st where we were on merit. GA tried to make us something we weren’t, why change what was working – we would have won that league.
You cannot even call this a ‘circus’ !!

Alexander did just fine … until Lucetti left!

I bet as soon as Cox and Lillis are fired “which I hope is soon” and we sign a half decent manager we’ll start reaping the rewards.
We could even bin off Cox and Lillis and sign Keith Hill for instance with those two’s wages and get Tony McMahan to do his current role plus step in as assistant manager.
Swann keeps saying he’s still fighting for Scunthorpe United but not when that clueless idiot is here. Put Cox out of his misery and get him gone with Lillis, both not worth a carrot between them.
To have a game there in the palm of your hands when you’re playing well and the other team playing poorly and to throw it away through sheer negativity is extracting the urine to whole new levels.
COX WALK AWAY YOU DAFT SOD AND DO THE RIGHT THING !

Just read the statement put out by Swann .. WALOB.. dont believe a word that comes out that fellas gob .. the snaffling of the ground and renaming it was done to protect him and him alone.
He says hes bank rolling the club .. getting Cox in on the cheap and allowing him to sign all the dead wood no one else wanted re crocked ” experienced ” Kenyon etc to name just one… also very poor loan signings dont help…but WTF would want to come to SUFC in its current state ??remembering games at The Old Show Ground in the Donny Rd end .. they were great, days when we had a club.

With a forward to hold up the ball and some leadership in CM this team is fine. Maybe even good enough for 14th to 16th.
Surely, anyone who witnessed the two halves at Barrow will see: a) What can be done with these players and b) How not to play them.This site brought attention this week to the dangers of playing a narrow five in midfield.
Guess what we did in the 2nd half! The logic in ceding control of the game totally escapes me.The main reason we didn’t lose was that Barrow held onto the ball and kept playing around the outside of our box and they ignored dozens of opportunities to swing crosses in.
Winning the first half 2 – 0 would have been fair to us – winning the second half 6 – 0 was there for Barrow to claim.
Incidentally, if players are unwell – they can feel unwell covering the flanks rather than feeling unwell and playing narrow.
Our main problem remains the poor management of the team resources. With a half decent manager, this lot would have been a good half dozen places higher up the table.
