I think you are exaggerating for effect Ni. I do believe those 3 could probably keep us up.
Pyke, Sinclair and Nuttall probably not. Hill obviously made the wrong calls in January.
With them 3 i agree he probably did make dicky calls ..add Matheson , alas he was scrappng the very bottom of the barrel and something had to be seen to be happening to save us.
Grant and Delaney seem to be the two brighter January arrivals in what is adark dark season in the clubs history.
To think im finally due back in Blighty later this year covid permitting and after so many years i will be attending non league footy.. whodda thought that ??
Think the first nails where hammered in last night! just can’t see us winning 3 more games this season let alone 3 more then the other teams around us.
Think the coffin is more metal than wood now it’s had that many final nails hammered in.
Yes no great escape here .. i could see us playing the rest of the season without a win with this mismatch and melting pot of youth “experience” and guys no one else wanted…
OH WE AE SINGING PLEASE GIVE US A GOAL .. a song from the Old Show Ground days very apt for the 2022 debacle

A distinct possibility after the results mid week ..tho really we are down already ..
Maybe Swann thinks its better to be at the top of the NL then struggling in L2.. did he think that when we were in the Championship and L1 as well ..
Whichever way you look at this we are fooked .. with this chairman things will never improve and im predicting many seasons in NL and even below that.
SAD ..very sad BUT REALISTIC

Times must be bad seeing Gareths ironarmy yt vlog and even he is now giving the impression he is considering packing in (HOPE NOT)… seems like the traveling 313 Scunny faithful had a good day in the metropolis despite the crap football offered by their team…massive well done n kudos for those that traveled.
Very poor performance ..going out the football league with a whimper ..will we win another game this season ?? .. will a Scunny player score ??
sad sad desperate times.I think the jury has to be still out on Hill re the results and what he s getting out of the group… im not knocking his past achievements and experience but some of his tactical and line up choices seem a bit strange.
Scrapping the bottom of the barrel in the Jan transfer window was always going to happen and signings showed that.. but something had to be seen to be done as signing no players would not give Swan the escape route of ..””we did our best”” .. , i can here him now blaming covid , the fans in fact everything other than the real cause of our demise ..ie HIM AND HIS GREED plus PISS POOR BUSINESS ACUMEN.
The guys i chat to in Scunny who attend home matches confirm the codheads rant re the ground etc is pretty accurate as is the distinct possibility of only staying in the NL one season and being relegated from there..Dark dark times indeed

The drop came when Cox was kept on at the end of last season
Yes keeping that tool in the shed too long cost us ..
I pinned Mid March as being mathematically down .. teams around us , well more accurately above us all seam to be playing better and scoring goals ..something we still cant do even after the January sales where it appears we may have picked up a couple of faulty items.
Grant Delaney happy with
Feeney ok
Nuttal Burns Pyke jury still out
Sinclair not impressed as much as i thought he would
Matheson .. return for refundKieth Hill .. some of his team selections are a tas strange but keeping the faith as he inherited such a shit in a basket.

NL is bad enough , NLN a further tragedy further more do a Bury into oblivion n out of exsistance totally !!
Swann makes my piss boil destroyed our club and doesnt give a toss.

Clubs that bounce back tend to do so within the first couple of seasons after relegation. Beyond that, it gets much more difficult. Anyone reckon we’ll be competitive in the Conference next season?
No

i get the team sheet via a notification as it is posted and some times i have to do a double take or think theres a mistake as Hill has played players out of position quite often .. the Swindon line up was a tad strange.
IMO
decent keeper
Manny n Delaney pretty solid
Grant experienced a good player we snagged
from there on it seems to go pear shaped with little midfield creativity pace on the wings and cant score a goal for toffee.Bearing in mind we will more than likely be in the NL next season ive started following it more n more .. its real tight at the top with only 1 auto promo spot and another via a difficult play off route.
Any members on here care to offer a prediction on who will be promoted from the NL this term??
Im going for Stockport cos of there money and Bromley with the bigger boys Chesterfield , Wrexham, Notts County etc all missing out and in the mix with Scunny next season … OH not forgetting the Cods .. their fans are bouyant again after 2 wins and crowing how they will go up visa the NL play off route I HOPE NOT

Unfair on Hill to just suggest he got people in for the sake of people just seeing that something was being down.
Hill did his best and got in the best players he possibly could on a shoestring budget…not only that he had to bring in players that nobody else wanted and the reason why nobody else wanted them was the fact they weren’t match fit.
You can tell they’re getting fitter by the game but certainly not ideal or acceptable for where we are. All caused by Swann who went back on his word and didn’t pay the loan off.
Swann said “I’ll do everything I can to make sure we’re not relegated”…..fast forward 2 weeks and from the outside looking in he did the bare minimum.
Also you’re right, Swann’s not attending games and hasn’t been for sometime. I suspect if/when we go down, we’ll continue not to see him because he knows the shit that will be coming his way. Swann will avoid the club like the plague.
I am not at all putting any blame on Kieth Hill re signings .. in a shit spot HE DID HIS BEST , and despite how things are going he needs time to sort out the pile of crap he inherited on and off the pitch ..time he doesnt really have to save us this season.
Imagine the stink caused if Swan didnt bring anyone to GP in January HE had to have some players come in to make it look like he was interested and supporting Hill the reality of that maybe different but at the end of the day the tragic state the club is now in is down to one man his ego and his desire not for SUFC but his own ends and self survival if / when it goes tits up.We are talking about a guy who is so hands off and un interested in his “business” that he doesnt even turn up to watch the games.. its like me not going to my office everyday it shows his distain not only for the club but the fans..and i cant see Hill staying long term which would be a shame as at NL level i think he would keep us solid.
Ideally some crazy Scunny fan wins the lotto or a consortium of guys comes in and Swan n co can be bought out .. there i go dreaming again , but has got that bad now a miracle is needed.
UTI , claret n blue all way through.

I predict an almost every week performance.
Playing not badly, a few half chances, blocked shots, corners for us.
Then the opposition take advantage from a mistake by us (loose the second ball, a defender who let’s his man slip behind, losing possession in a dangerous place), and with our lack of scoring goals we cannot repair anything. Later, given away space while trying to attack, they will couterattack to a second and maybe a third goal…Blimey Dutch that’s sppoky! Did you buy a lottery ticket? With foresight like that you could win enough to buy the club!!
Tizz pretty accurate and a recurring senario tho

i agree i think we will struggle badly in the NL .. quite easily go the way of Darlo n York etc.
1 user thanked author for this post.
even with all its dated facilities,faults n cracks i prefered the Old Show Ground to GP ,,Donny road end n the walk from Brit to the ground there was an atmosphere that GP never really had or will never have again at GP.
It was a more entertaining better value way to spend a few hours ……..i much preferred the away days after moved to GP a way better gig.1 user thanked author for this post.
I know we haven’t got time but to gel eight new players together will take at least six weeks
If that’s the case then why bother wasting money to sign them at the end of January? Especially as the majority are either on loan or on contracts until the end of the season so won’t be here after that anyway.
Because some thing had to be seen to be happening .. by ….

decent first half display .. load of bollocks the second,, the stats dont lie plenty of shots some even on target for a change but no goals again.
Hate being right on this but my head did predict a 3-0 to Swindon earlier in this thread ..1 user thanked author for this post.
Agree , all be it im still hoping for the miracle its pretty obvious its NL here we come and for sure a league very difficult to get out of at the right end…
My most pressing concern is the club going into admin folding and not existing at all.. i will be a Scunny fan til i die regardless where they play but the thought of them being no more is very haunting.Sadly have to agree … coming away with anything other than a heavy defeat will be a bonus..
my dreaming heart says 0-1 or 1-1 Scunny …….. alas my head is saying 3-0 Swindon

When hearing quotes n comments like ” building for the future” it concerns me … obviously alluding to a future in the NL and even lower ???, looking at the current teams in the NL Scunny would be in the bottom half at best… aka Southend.
Following the Oldham loss and looking how we played (didnt gel and looked unfit) the next fixture against Walsal is massive and Saddlers fans are labeling it as the biggest game of their season and a must win for both sides… another 0-0 or 0-1 then
Doomed …SAD BUT TRUE

8 In have to confess dont know much about them other than whats on the SUFC website
Burns
Matheson
Sinclair
Feeney
Grant

Huge game this Saturday ..and as Hill comments 18 cup finals ahead … he also confirmed there are still a few players here who he wanted shot ov ??????
Its not over til the fat lady sings … though i did hear her tuning up with a tentative humming sound.
