    too much reacting to the opponents – impose ourselves not the other way round

    I’ve been gobbing off since ’73, I think I’ll continue, if its all the same. Thanks for sharing your views on how to watch a match.

    Didn’t look a foul to me on Thompson just a good solid challenge, no real player protest either, they know when it’s a bad challenge or a solid one. Idiot in the East Stand shouting his mouth off for about five minutes non stop ranting and raving and being abusive about it all. He’s entitled to his opinion as I am mine, mate if your reading this your a pratt. Go away and study the game a bit more.

    I was ranting for 5 mins but i assume there was someone else too. As no one told me to shut up. And if you were near by you would have heard i was not ranting at the tackle which was clearly 50:50 but that the Cobbler could see Thompson was hurt and yet he tried to pick him up. The rest was just trying to wind him up, the same with having a go at Hoskins for all his moaning. And if you are going to allow someone their opinion calling them a prat says more about you.

    Hill in the Gazette “Myself and Joe are on the same page, it just comes down to our embargo and other people within the football club negotiating” I take that as a not coming then Mr Chairman. And if not Keith finally realising he has no chance of keeping us up with Swan at the helm

    Looks an odd starting 11 on what weve seen. Green please no and i’m not a fan of Hippo either. Pugh and Rowe together not the experience for their jobs yet. In Hill we trust that he’s seen something in 10 days we haven’t seen all season.

    I know a Stockport fan and a Torquay and they are both worried about the future. Its the last season with no spending restrictions. A lot of non league teams (bar 2 who go up) will be in trouble next season.
    And next season can be different in the way the one after we nearly went out last time. 3 signings and boom.
    The margins in this league are small – a fit Kenyon makes a difference on last Saturday performance. It’s just who finds a Rick Green for one season to take you up.

    Sorry but not seeing this great Hippo performance – 2nd half he improved and did well first half he couldn’t make a decent pass and he was in some good positions. Once he took the ball in 20 yards of space made no attempt to turn and go forward just passed it back to Taft. Agree his best game but not outstanding. Leave that to Pugh tackling/break up play was superb and Onariase for daring to drive forward – looked like an overlapping centre half. Now they have the win repeat it at a poor Colchester.
    Cox still a liability.

    BBC report “Barrow were far better in the second half but only sparked into life in the final 20 minutes.”
    Sparked into life by our own idiot in charge dropping the team back and 5 mins after Scrimshaw goes off. Rather than the chairman meeting fans perhaps Cox should and answer these points

    Sadly the ref took away the possibilities of a point or 3. They didn’t appear to offer a threat upto that point. The pen clearly wasn’t one, the reaction of their players gives it away. They were annoyed he’d missed not appealing for a pen. Back to the conf for the ref.
    We need 6 points from the next 2 games. Even Swan cant let Cox survive anything less.

    the acceptance of crap comes from the top in any organisation. You set your standard on everything you cant pick and choose when to have high standards. As you approach the ground you see the state of the flags etc you think no one here cares why should i. Staff, players, supporters will think it. And away teams will pick it up too. We have the look and feel of a team on the drift downwards.
    Stopping petty crime is the start of prevent more serious crime. Having a high standards throughout the club will set the tone for management and players. Do wonder how Swan does succeed

    the fact he couldn’t attract any other club but a non league one tells you his level. And if he is relying on someone else to motivate him to play then i would question his motivation too.

    We should be asking the govt to look at this deal.
    Swann talks a lot but doesn’t say anything. Key question how much was the ground valued at? while he keeps saying it’s a good deal as we were paying interest its not if the ground is valued at say £25m, then its a good deal for Coolsilk. He says the club will pay rent when it can afford it. Who decides when than it is. What will the market rent be surely he has a figure in mind if you writing of £11m.

    Not sure saying trust me works when he hasn’t delivered on any promises. i cant recall him saying relegation and the dullest football ever and my son and i will play footy manager to almost take us out the league.
    Swann needs to start with an apology and then let those who know how to find, sign and manage players do so. Just like he does with his horses or does he tell jockeys how to ride too!?

    i took the word of Swan to be true when he said for £11m debt write off he had secured the ground and the surrounds for his other company. Are you saying he wasn’t stating a fact!?

    if the football authorities and/or Govt are keen to see the greed looked at within football perhaps we should petition the FL to investigate the takeover by the club by another company. If nothing else they could look at whether the land at £11m under valued?
    Vague statements by Swan that at some point in the future the club may have to pay some unspecified rent don’t prevent me thinking Bury mk2!!

    Forest Green no win in 9, they beat us. Walsall no away win in 9 they beat us. Mansfield no home win in 5 they beat us. Hours and hours without a shot on target. See no reason for us to get another point this season.
    Summed up by Spencer’s interview on website “. . . we need to give Newport nothing on Tuesday and hope to try to get a goal.” That’s our new found tactic hope
    We finish with 47
    Southend are doomed
    Cods sadly i see them getting 3 wins or even 7 points and catch us on goal diff
    Barrow will get the 1 point to overtake us tonight.
    Swann sells the club for pennies as its national league puts the rent up on the ground and makes a killing on the land

    Still in shock. Al was my friend for 45 years. He was a great friend, father, husband, brother and has followed the Iron home and away for decades. Will be missed by many.

    cant help himself thinks 5-4-1 is the way. Loft who looks decent with a partner now left alone to struggle with his injury, and the ball keeps coming back. Cox didn’t think attacking is the better way to defend
