This present team is fast becoming the worst Scunthorpe United side in the history of the club. Since we joined the league I cannot think there has been a worse team we have had. We are seriously in danger of losing our league status and nothing seems to be done to address this. Three seasons on the trot now we have been in a relegation battle and we lost the first one got lucky with the second (season ended early) and look like losing the third and final one.
COX should be sacked now ,along with his so called coaching staff we have a power crazy chairman ,inept players, and unfortunately we are falling into non league with a wimper.Clubs a total embarrassment.
He’s been an unmitigated disaster.
He has the ability, seemingly, to turn success into sh1te.
Witness the promotion with a whimper season, the failure after failure at playoffs, the team that led the league, scoring apparently for fun, then, overnight, became a laughing stock, and now the present rush to the non-league.
There’s one, and ONLY ONE common factor.
I said it then, I’ll say it again.
This guy is bad news.
Swann, Swann, get y’self GONE.
Swann is to blame, no doubt about it. Cox needs to go as well though. Cox has been dealt a bad hand but he’s so far out of his depth it doesn’t even warrant thinking about.
It’s crystal clear we need a striker or two but this formation is dreadful and it’s Cox who keeps fielding it so he needs to get gone.
I was there in the seventies OSG days, and I can honestly say I loved every minute.
Yes we didn’t perform very well in terms of league positions and were deemed a Cinderella club, but the club had a grain of honesty running through it from top to bottom.
We always had a goal scoring striker up front and the odd quality player who went onto better things.
The ground from its name to the stands oozed character and was loved by the supporters. The few fans we had at the time were ardent and many still attend to this day.
Above all those characteristics spawned a fighting spirit and never say die attitude which galvanised everybody connected with the club.
In the 70s our team truly battled – however ordinary they could be.
This season, there have clearly been a few who have not always been truly committed.
The issue though, is more that silly systems have often left players bemused and confused and can make it look as if they don’t care when actually, they are simply not capable of grasping the headless chicken tactics employed.
Take Eisa, as an example. I really do not see him as not caring. Under Hurst, there was some logic. Under Cox, that has been hard to find. Eisa has suffered more than most from this.
Incidentally – I am assuming that the switch of CBs at half-time was pre-planned and not an injury.
Anybody know?
The switch wasn’t planned at half time cox said his hamstring felt tight so he brought him off. Why play him from the off he was not match fit. He say’s he wont rush players back and that is exactly what he did.
It was planned according to Cox – wanting to get 45 minutes into their legs
That’s absolutely true, so we wait till next Wednesday when Cox announces that McGahey is out injured for another 4 to 6 weeks with an aggravation of his hamstring injury.
Cox said it wasn’t pre-planned he wanted to get him 60-70 minutes but he felt a tightness so he took him off at half time instead. Still a stupid chance to play him in the first place with his injury record so like you say he might be out again for a number of games. He is another one that is injury proned.
As Les said earlier in the 70s we had battlers,Dudley Roberts Tommy Horsfall Derek Charley Neil Warnock Harry Kirk Stu Pilling the list goes on not great players but they would give their all this lot we have could learn a lot
I go back mid 1960s and this is the worse team I have seen representing Scunthorpe United by a country mile. Its totally unacceptable and action needs to be taken today. Swann you are a disgrace. If I never go to Glanford Park again it’s down to you,you have destroyed our proud little football club. There are very few if any new young supporters waiting to fill the gaps us oldies will leave because of the shambles you have created. All the debt is down to you and your incompetance so make sure you pay it and then go. I despise you and the way you have misstreated our club and us the supporters. I’m running out of words that can be used on this platform that accurately describe my true feelings of your ineptitude and dictatorial methods you have employed as chairman.
I don’t even live in the town and still know a number of youngsters who have quit because the football is so boring!
The number of adults – if they are not just blowing off steam – could be approaching double figures!
Plenty of young UN’s coming through j charles. Noggers bus used to be a saga crew bus but of late numerous youths are now travelling,though to the dismay of some on the bus. If you don’t want to go anymore just jog on,but don’t make out there’s no new fans coming through.
Awaywego, please explain in English what your post is all about, what language are to trying to communicate in? Oh and by the way dont tell me to jog on, I never said I didn’t want to go anymore. You dont know me or my circumstances so keep your cheap remarks to yourself.
Plenty of new young fans coming to support utd,simple enough for you. Under the thread Booooooooooo, “Can’t see me attending Glanford park again” your words not mine j charles,so yes just jog on.
Awaywego My words were if I never attend Glanford park again and not cant see me attending Glanford park, I also said very few if any new fans not no new fans,you obviously have a problem reading as well as writing. One thing I did say though was how difficult it was to find the correct words to describe how I feel about the situation and certain people, however with you it’s quite easy its idiot. Now you can jog on.
Oh Charlie, you couldn’t even be bothered to look up your reply on the Boooooooooo thread “CANT SEE ME ATTENDING GLANFORD PARK AGAIN”. What an idiot you are, you can’t even remember what you wrote,I don’t have a problem with reading after all do I?.Nice to see a couple of Muppets supporting you guess they didn’t read the thread either. Feel free to apologize when your ready. Then jog on.
