    If i were a betting man my money is on Roberts leaving sooner rather than later and most certainly no longer than this season .. Jan 2025 and the clock is ticking.

    I dont think he has any loyalty or love for the club as such and after the fan bust up at Guiseley i predict he will go possibly to a NL or L2 club.
    Dont know re Fitz contract but loose him also and we are really screwed.

    Strange decisions all round plays Beck for the full game last time then benches him this.
    Leaving Roberts on the bench surely play him from the off till fatigue sets in and hopefully put the game to bed by that time.

    He’s Clutching at straws and hope something works, so am I for that matter.

    Win or bust today draws aren’t acceptable anymore.

    Agree another strange AB starting selection

    “Callum Roberts returns to the squad, but only makes the bench having not trained following illness”
    “Alfie Beestin misses out through injury, Tyler Denton returns following his lay-off”

    Good info. but why is Brogan not in the squad?

    Brogan and Law cass both omitted

    Hard to predict an Iron game nowadays so many variables

    Head says its a draw … 1-1 or more likely 0-0 (no way a goal fest with current personal and the way we are setting up)

    *Heart wants a sneaky 1-0 Scunny win an OG or dodgy pen will do.

    Just dropped on the SUFC Fans FB and its a war zone … except for an Xmas wishes post by Simon Elliot which was very nice and well received.

    The Maw Mafia chucking their toys out the pram threats of legal action and horses heads in beds ..its all bonkers and not necessary.. whatever folks think about this agree or not both Stuart n his missus have worked tirelessly (sometimes , quite often OTT) raising funds for SUFC, alas with such dire football being served up , radio silence from the club BovD / new CEO and the fans goodwill subsiding this will become harder less proactive.

    IMO the club have had massive charitable assistance from the fans and local businesses but at the moment little is coming back .. surely by now the inherited debt must be cleared and the club on a sounder footing to a point it should not rely on as much charity as say a year ago.

    Just my 10 bobs worth

    btw Happy Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year to all here on Bru

    Is it me or is this new CEO fella like a ghost … not heard a whisper from him (except a short cameo on ironhour pod) or the BovD for that matter the silence is deafening.

    Dire game of football as has come to be the norm at GP on a Saturday afternoon. The fact that the only positive is a marginal improvement on Alfreton, described by many as the worst game of football ever seen at GP, says it all. As always; hoofball, square pegs round holes (Whitehall as a 10 I ask you?), zero creativity, looking devoid of ideas and Fitz MOM saving us from blushes yet again.

    Not sure on the accuracy of the attendance figure reported. Lots of empty seats and little atmosphere. Are season tickets counted even if the holders don’t turn up?

    Butler’s ‘we’re not the finished article’ line is worn out. He’s had a full preseason, two cups and were half way through the league games so when do we expect to see the ‘finished article’? The last game of the season when we’re floating around mid table perhaps? We’ve taken a giant leap backwards from last seasons football and have fallen off a cliff results wise from our first 10 games so this analogy of us being a work-in-progress, as though we’re improving each game is more waffle. We still don’t know our best 11, we still don’t have a style of play (unless it’s hoof and hope) and we still don’t know our best formation or how to get a tune out of the best squad in the league. We’re on a downward trajectory under Butler and the board are merely prolonging the agony for supporters and decimating the goodwill they banked, with their silence and inaction.

    Bang on 414

    The fans goodwill is the only thing tumbling quicker than us down the league, on this form i will be amazed if we are in the playoff places post the festive period fixtures.
    I read some fans bemoaning the clubs recent past of sacking managers but what is the alternative as anyone that thinks AB n Scoff are doing a good job must be deluded, sadly i think whilst in around the top 7 places the BovD wont act and get rid they should bite the bullet and pay em off now.
    Im also not buying the squad unity BS .. IMO something isnt right and the players must be pissed off having to continue on ABs chosen path as its tantamount to destroying their careers as well as the clubs now slim chances of promotion .. a miracle we dont need just to become the cannon fodder in the NL ALA Boston.

    BAH HUMBUG

    Beck has been a let down no getting round that but havent all the signings so far under ABs tenure? and rather worryingly if the BovD who seem set to give AB n Scoff the whole season receive funds from the sale of Roberts or others will this be wasted chasing to save his job.

    The recruitment has been very poor and still lumbered with most of the over paid Hilton / JD signings who for the most part look like they dont give a toss ..

    My oh my how we have missed Butterfield in mid field, his goals , free kicks and corners.

    I have actual commentary ready to go on Radio Hereford and Worcester -presumably at five to, IFA.
    Last week, the Humberside guys were wittering and being broadcast from half three or so.
    Hereford’s main commentator doesn’t seem to realise that his mic is live.

    Yep same here … no RH tab only Hereford n Worcester radio

    Even with a dikky leg (torn calf) i have a road trip coming up so a very early early prediction for Saturday.

    Sorry but cant see a lot changing and Hereford a mark up from Marine who gave us a decent game and were unlucky …Hereford are on a decent run also.

    1-2 Hereford
    Att 3089 the away following taking just over the 3k mark.

    Bah Humbug !! …

    OT has the right to ask the questions he did. If not we just finish up with a one sided like the ows.
    Wonder how the post match interview will go next week or will OT be waiting for 70mims again.
    Pretty petty tbh. Still got to stay professional.

    Hopefully the win kicks the Iron on and things turn around.
    2nd a playing so crap. Don’t think those shackles are on to be released unfortunately.

    Yes came across very petulant.. bearing in mid recent form its amazing we are still around the top let alone second all be it very tight and a couple of adverse results can change everything ..Curzon keep steaming on ALA Tamworth.

    easy reply … the club interviews with AB are just repetitive and would be best not done at all .. EVERY WEEK the same sound bites with the only relevant info is whose currently fit and whose injured.

    I want AB to succeed most certainly not kicked and there are far more enticing subject matter to masturbate over in my neck of the woods.

    I do agree re the fans that are taking advantage of the booze at these lower league venues, far too many seem to be totally wasted which is just a recipe for trouble and getting the club a bad name.

    Match Prediction 0-0 or 1-1

    ABs latest interview master class re the Marine game ..yet a large chunk dwelling on the Alfreton debacle.

    These soft ball James Moody interviews are getting very tedious , no real questions asked with easy replies / answers offered by the interviewer, alas doesnt really matter as all the opponents are tough , done our homework and trained well …more clean sheet strategy nonsense.

    ABs take on the Alfreton performance is head shaking.

    This thread sums up our arrogance,we’ve got Man Utd syndrome. The fact is we’re a 6th division outfit ,not some big league wonder club that has a right to win and be some huge draw for staff

    Nowt against Wilcox nice bloke but probably why when ever theres a job going the first option and mindset seems to be whose available that has ties to the club .. If AB does get the boot its hard to even guess who may come in and of what age and experience not sure how attractive a draw Scunny are nowadays as posted.

    Glad what I stated is ‘obvious.’ Now we can all unite, relax and see what January brings without making premature calls for sackings or calling each other out. Glad we’re approaching the season of peace and goodwill to all men:)

    Exactly .. peace n goodwill to all (except the Codheads (not all as i know at least 3 that are ok though they do limp, smell of fish and need a bar of soap for Xmas)

    Spat central. When it gets so personal I414 that you have to write several paragraphs per post on how someone has upset you then maybe its time for a pause. A poor December and more of the same …5 or 6 games … and he’ll be gone I reckon. And I can’t see much dissent on here with that scenario. On the other hand .. a fit Roberts and Carlton.A bonus contribution from Williams. Maybe even an emerging option with Law. Beck and Harris bedding in and provoking Danny to up his game. Maybe even some variety in formation with what potentially look like decent attacking options. It could be that as Spring looms we’ll be on top of the pile and, whilst there will be no need for humble pie from the fans, the Donny Road will be applauding fist pumps again. If there’s no sign by early January then he’ll have to go I reckon. This ‘window’ isn’t the time and it appears that the Board are in agreement.

    santas sack is been empteied and i willdo my best cos im pissed
    You are as Monty Pythong said quote stating the beleding obvoous.. i do howver regress for 414 AWAYEGO N Myself being singl;eted out for having an opinon .. so much so so i rang the bell in soi eakmai bumbat 4 tonight.

    butler n Scoff out asap

    Law will at least offer the option of actually playing a genuine 4/4/2 with width, but question is does he stay fit for more than 5 minutes ?. I’d also leave Whitehall out and go with Beck and Harris up top. Beestin and Brogan in CM. If Butler plays the players in their natural positions we won’t have a bad team at all.

    5555 Law will be fit for a game or 2 hes aperma croc .. get rid of all the hiltonoids on studid money n start again .. most ov em are shit and dont give atoss its just awageto pay themorgar n feed the kids .,. like to see theback of all except roberts n Fitz
