    Im finding the negativity about predicting negative results very negative.

    Good luck to the team today

    50 mins to KO here at Nong Bua Pitchaya v Buriram .. will Abo Esia start ?? and no rain storm predicted alas it is 34 degrees n really muggy.

    Duffus .. 23 games in 3 years , he may be a tad rusty , sent out on loan a few times latest being Hartlepool and they havent signed him tells its own tale.

    No club update on Braithwaite yet

    The negativity is staggering.

    I’ll for for a 2-0 iron win with Brogan and Whitehall netting.

    Surely a prediction is based on the thoughts of the individual concerned on how they see things happening negative or positive so what just because we are all Scunny fans should we say the Iron will win 5-0 every week. Without a ball being kicked in anger first game , new team , new manager new system of play away at arguably one of the best sides in the NLN henceforth its a difficult one to call so fully understand the various differing views.

    Come September predicting scores should become easier.

    Fingers crossed for an away win , tho happy with a draw .. sticking with my 1-1

    The SUFC super sleuth Aidan Wilko has spotted a face in a training image

    Center forward Courtney Duffus ex Barrow on loan at Hartlepool could he be the mystery man ?? not scored since 2021 according to his rap sheet.

    The scars have more than healed no more of that millstone of a ground hanging round fans necks.
    Most fans have got the owners they want and appreciate.
    Got the manager they wanted, so why would fans need to go on saying we’re lucky to have a club.
    The honeymoon is over.
    We’re that big fish in a little pond and it is a little pond and nows the time to leap out of it nothing else will do.

    You ok AWG you double dosed on the meds very moving post im crying now … 55555555 onnee kiddin agree entirely.

    Agree

    I like the look of all the signings to be fair but just feel still something missing and the squad is a tad light when injuries n suspensions kick in .. two more additions would help for sure.

    Whall has looked poor in pre season also concerning.

    well already a real mix bag of predictions

    a 1-1 draw from me
    a well beaten 3-1 loss from ss24
    a 2-1 win from MK n Anderson

    IMO a more balanced view than that of fans on the SUFC Fand FB page and just goes to show how differently we perceive the current squad and how pre season has gone.

    I did say a while back we needed a smaller nippy goal poacher style striker

    Isn’t that Carlton?

    Didnt categorize CUb in that way Cass but do think he will notch a few this season.

    AB / LT must be thinking an extra center forward be handy as took this mystery fella on trial.

    I did say a while back we needed a smaller nippy goal poacher style striker …very much doubt its hooper though .. its being kept a very tight secret so interested to find out just who it is and if Braithwaite is being signed , i hope he is .

    Im planning to go watch Nong Bua Pitchaya FC v Buriram unites Saturday 6pm KO , Abo Eisa debut for NBP against the best side by a mile over the last decade here Buriram so expectiong a proper thrashing ..

    Suffice to say i shall don my Scunny shirt of course and give him an IRON IRON IRON.

    Wondering how his fitness is and will handle the very different playing conditions here as games are never stopped or called off even in the most severe weather it gets comical sometimes.. the heat and humidity will be a factor more so its rainy season and torrential downpours are expected.

    35 min trip back after that game in time for the Brackley Scunny game … its great the footy is back.

    I refer the right honourable members of Bru to my earlier post below as to my prediction come next April… one change .. remove Scarboro replace with Darlo (agree with CMC)

    L2 .. Cods to get relegated

    If i was to put a 100 quid bet on for champions it would go on Chester.

    Chester

    Brackley
    Kiddy

    Buxton
    Radcliffe
    Scarboro X …….. Darlo
    Scunny

    Couple of interesting points AB brought up.

    Braithwaite in talks this week and another center forward arrived on trial but no name given..maybe some Bru super sleuths have the goss n some titbits.

    Fitz

    Max Evans Nicholson

    Barrows Brogan Rowley Law

    Roberts

    Whitehall Carlton

    That would be ok with me S11 .. only change Scales for Barrows IMO.

    Im guessing Clunan is nailed on to start as he is probably gonna be the captain again this season (i would prefer another capt)

    Good points earlier Brackley are unknown and may be not the same team as in recent seasons, AB needs to set up to go out and attack not be cautious and go for a no loss/draw or sit back sneaky 1-0

    Good post MK.

    Nothing is a given in football , in the most part its all so unpredictable ..passionate fans , crazy results , last minute over head kicks (Bellingham) MAKE IT THE GREAT GAME IT IS.

    Whilst i agree on the economics a freak season like Tamworth had can not be legislated for and whose to say there isnt another one of them looming to surprise us all.

    Champions and auto promotion would obviously be brilliant being a tad more realistic fingers crossed we can play well score plenty and end up there or there abouts come next April.

    One thing is not in any doubt in recent months the turn around in the club in every way has been miraculous now lets get it going forward on the pitch.

    As fans we are entitled to our opinions my being no as optimistic as it seems many other are , at full time in the Chorley fixture we should have a better idea as to the seasons expectations.

    Im predicting getting 7 or 8 points from the 12 up for grabs from those first 4 fixtures (2 home n 2 away)… followed by 2 difficult games v SS and Kiddy to end August on circa with 11-12 points.

    A season of stability finishing 7th to 10th is my prediction.

    Does Butler know what his best team is?I’m not sure

    Worryingly I dont think hes does.

    Re food ..having some footy food and a pint was part n parcel of the whole experience i was always a meat pie n Bovril guy ..long before the days of pulled pork the like.

    On away days set off early always had to have a few beverages en route and find a good chippie near the ground.

    OK we’ve got a few days to sort it out, Butler doesn’t know his team yet so let’s give him a hand. I’ll go:-
    Fitzsimons
    Kouogan, Evans, Nicholson
    Scales, 2 from (Grogan, Rowley, Clunan), Denton
    Roberts, Whitehall, Carlton
    Pretty unlikely as AB hasn’t got anywhere near that in pre-season.

    that would be my starting 11 Cass ..but it is unlikely.

    Law for Denton maybe

    Roberts may not start, come off the bench when required if AB airs on the side of caution not wishing to loose on opening day..

    Off topic … could the season KO be effected by the current unrest in the UK ?? im thinking travel and policing issues .. lets hope not

    Butler was experimenting against Chesterfield.

    Too late to be experimenting IMO, his preferred first XI should have been established and started this game.

    Agree Cass experimenting should have been happening up until the Hartlepool game and the thought that it seems AB doesnt know his starting line up come Brackley is a tad worrying , we arent man City who can rotate every week n still win the league at a cantor.

    II still think come the time suspensions and injuries happen the squad is still light on depth, can see Law Beestin Denton Kelly or Roberts being injury free for long.

    Law for Denton also an option ..plenty of cover off the bench while all are fit and remain uninjured.

    Im sure there will be a score prediction thread for Brackley but chuckin mine in early at 1-1 which wouldnt be a bad start away at one of the sides tipped to be up there again this coming season.

    Unlike JB not overly fussed where Wilson plays or how he gets on , attitude issues if i recall and he never really did amount to much other than the odd rare bit of magic.
    Apparently he turned down Barca to join Scarboro solely as he loves the beach and candy floss.

    I wish JB every success where ever he plays .. cracking player and one we should of tried harder to keep .. pleased hes not in NLN…and donations to various causes notably the SUFC Gofundme page should never be forgotten.
