    Daws saying some academy players will be involved doesnt sound to me as though we will be putting our strongest side out. Get ready to chalk up yet another day of embarrassment come Saturday.

    Prescient.

    It is a very deep barrel that we are scraping the bottom of.

    Still, maximum points in the prediction league for that one.

    Don’t even feel frustrated or angry anymore. Just resignation and sadness.

    51 years ago we lost to them at home, so slightly better I guess.

    The standard at this level has improved immensely since 1971, unfortunately we are not adapting to it.

    We DID perform for 90 minutes today, alas it was not the type of performance that was ever going to win the tie. Lots of possession, controlling much of the game, but zero creativity. We never looked like scoring.

    I don’t know if it was the absence of Apter and Butterfield but we had absolutely no penetration. Ntlhe and Boyce must have had more touches than the other twenty players on the pitch put together. “Are you England in disguise?” Sprang to mind!

    Someone has mentioned “no urgency”, and that pretty much sums up the difference between the two sides.

    Thought Dewhurt could have done better with their goal although there was a nasty deflection, but another goal from a corner that should have been dealt with better.

    Some very dejected and limping Iron players disappearing down the tunnel at the end.

    This is a very steep learning curve and it looks like it’s going to be more than a one year course!

    Just back from the game. A total disgrace and embarrassment. Not one player fit to wear the shirt.

    Come on, the lads at the back were outstanding Dewhurst to Nthle to Boyce to Rowe or Ogle could watch that all day, well we had to anyway, sometimes they’d get over the half way line then pass back and repeat it all again can’t understand why South Shields allowed us to do that, anyway new record achieved again today 25 games without keeping a clean sheet well done lads keep it up, that’s another record achieved under Swann probably had more achievements under Swann than any other owner can’t understand everybody’s issue with the man.

    Yes, Alcazar I am sorry to say but I did also, in fact I thought that the club would have become another Bury by now.

    Bury!!! I hear a grave digger has been put on stand bye. What am I saying he’s been here several years now just biding his time.

    A bit of effort yesterday would have been a start. I would swap the SS number 9 for Nuttall any day of the week. He was constantly on the move, unlike our bumbling number 9 who never broke sweat.

    Crap full away end(not surprising when you could just walk in one turnstile), crap lack of “effort”, crap that South Shields should have scored more, crap bus replacement service for the Metro, generally crap day all round really.

    What was the need for 5 police Horses hanging round the place, the club and Humberside Police hate the fans don’t they, apart from when Lee puts out his “please come and watch us” message every Friday or dishing out freebies to any group who may have the slightest bit of interest.

    Some gems from TD post match:-

    “I must say we didn’t turn up on the day,”
    “We were second best and for the first time since I’ve been taking the team, we didn’t really look like scoring,”
    “we just weren’t at the races.”
    “We were too slow in possession of the ball,”
    “we didn’t pass it quickly enough to try and shift the opposition,”
    “going a goal down so early didn’t help.”
    “It was disappointing coming from a set-play.”
    “A couple lads switched off and we got done.”

    Very good Tony, any fan watching the game would have said exactly the same thing.
    Tell us something we don’t know like WHY!!!!
    Because if you don’t know why then you won’t be able to fix it will you?
    It’s not the first time for many of those points is it?

    Should have come in the home end with us CMC.

    Plenty of space, bars, food outlets, picnic tables, people in claret & blue with happy, smiling faces. Instead of being shoe-horned into a third of a tiny stand behind one goal. I’ll be surprised if you don’t all come down with Covid!

    Friendly copper let me park right opposite the turnstiles. 45 minutes drive home.

    Pity about the result!

    Would seem like the whole world is conspiring against us at the moment everything is so hard work watching the iron at the moment, like CMC said even getting there on the metro bus replacement a bloody nightmare, evidently they were taken by surprise by all the rugby fans turning up and moved buses from our service to help out in Newcastle, then of course the rail strikes or trains not even turning up at all, rail works and prices to Wealdstone makes it a no-no,Turnbull and co moving the Barnet game that really f-d a lot of iron fans, then the shite that’s on offer when we do turn up at the moment “Whatever” just got to keep telling myself it will get better at sometime, just hope for a good away draw in the fa trophy. Ps Cass no highs yesterday.

    You were right about Heworth for the buses NI though the Swan wasn’t open at 11’15, nothing new there then, just stayed on the bus and went to south Shields lovely place at least 6 pubs within 100 meters of each other would be great for a night out, makes you realise how shite Scunny is.

    You have to question the set up of the team for this one.

    3 left backs in the squad. Let’s play 1 at centre back and have the other 2 on the bench says Tony. Who plays left back says Nelse.

    A right back of course says Tony. It will confuse the opposition.

    Which centre back is looking after their centre forward at set pieces asks Nelse. He got a hat trick in the last round so might be a bit handy.

    Which midfield player is worst at defending asked Tony. Why Beeston of course replied Nelse.

    He will do then says Tony.

    Who is taking our set pieces then given Rob and Jacob cannot play inquired Nelse.

    Doesn’t really matter said Tony. The only other player in the club that can deliver a dead ball is Mason but he’s on the bench. The rest are all terrible so you pick. OK boss we can get Whitehouse to do it. He is crap at it but we never score from them anyway.

    It is, You really are doing SS a disservice there NI, maybe most of them trendy bars for the younger ones and not quite our cup of tea but at least they were there and like I say all in close proximity has well as at least one night club in the same area.
