It is very noticeable that the whole matter which thrust two certain characters into the spotlight has gone very quiet since one contacted the other on a second X account which showed an unhealthy interest in ladies of questionable age!
When certain people resurface they may find themselves viewed very differently in many people’s eyes.

I half expected this to be a double entendre of Vizesque proportions in reference to a well known fundraiser and highly dubious posts on an X account!

A lovely old gentleman who was an ardent Iron used to subsidise away travel.
Sadly that gentleman passed away, when his funding ceased certain people stopped going away
Now that half of Stuart’s raised funds are subsidising away travel, those people are suddenly back on the scene, which is an amazing coincidence.
Furthermore with their favourite Premiership team struggling after a few glorious years, they are now part of the un-elected Unity set up!

Yep, if only the Radio Humberside fans forum had been a few weeks later.
We could have challenged the board severely on AB. And AB on his football nous thus cutting the programme down by 30 minutes, instead we got an hour of ‘happy clappyness’ and patting in the back!

You need to poke higher I am afraid.
We have booed at HT, FT and during the matches. We have even booed bizaar substitutions We have called the manager names and been dismissed for it. One right back even had a go at supporters for calling AB out after the Alfreton game!
The players have stuck two fingers up by standing together in the centre circle at Marine seemingly united in this utter tripe of abysmal football.
The fab four have been quiet throughout and then last week we were described on the club website as ‘outside noise’.
We will not be champions, we will not finish high up in the play-off spots and will continue to go backwards under AB and his even worse assistant JS. FACT
The gate today of over 3800 did not reflect the gaps in the seats nor on the DRE especially in the empty central area.
The Fab 4 saved us from Ernest Pawn and WHAM only to leave us at the behest of this latest threat to our future. AB was a terrible appointment and JS even worse.
We are not going up the pyramid under these two.

If you read it correctly, it says 4-4-2 much better!
There were glimpses of football today which is an improvement, I still want ‘our’ AB gone NWI.

Plays like a 3 legged donkey with a limp!!!!!!!

Surely it’s more important what is served up on the pitch rather than off it?
I don’t think we will be getting a Michelin star for either!

I have had a listen and would offer a slightly different opinion. AB was maybe trying to be defiant in light of the recent and justifiable criticism of him, his assistant and his tactics.
He played 4-4-2, made bold team changes and altered the game with his substitutions. Fair play to him and his players backed him with a show of defiance too.
The little comment ‘outside noise’ from the club match report is interesting however.
At least we now know that even if the club chose not to say anything they were at least listening and sensitive to the criticism of their manager and the poor football being served up.
A victory in any manner will instill confidence throughout the team and the club as a whole.
All good then.
So next week and in subsequent games until the end of the season AB now needs to serve up entertaining attacking football by creating chances and sticking to our game rather than adjusting to counter the opposition. This will bring victories and unite the fanbase in his favour.
Anything else will not, and whilst AB took the brunt, the little comment ‘outside noise’ has not gone unnoticed on here, hence the reason I read it.
So if Ab is being defiant good for him, it’s better than the petulance we have seen of recent.
I am prepared to accept ‘outside noise’ so long as there as been some ‘internal noise’.
Up the Iron and this new defiance and fightback.

Trying to be reasonable and calm down regarding our situation 64. Down to 4th and didn’t even flinch.
Loosing sleep though and it’s a worry! Can’t see light at the end of the tunnel or any solution either way.
Consoled today by no back five and no loss.

The issue is not who comes in to do the job, it’s merely getting rid of the ringmaster (Schofield) and his puppet.

4-6 games of more dire football, poor tactics, bad defence minded play and the long ball to our new striker.
Curzon pulling away similar to Tamworth last season, where JD did not have the metal or mental guile to challenge them despite our games in hand.
This team is playing worse and badly managed, Butler’s stubborn obsession with 5 across the back and lack of ability to focus on attacking football and worry about ‘setting up’ to thwart the opposition is killing us as a team and club. The latter the bigger worry.
4-6 games is 12-18 points and may be too much to make up. Also should we miraculously make the play-offs and even go up what can we look forward to next. Butler and Schofield are struggling at this level.
Talk to any fan and we ain’t happy.

If the entire fan base is miffed by the formation Butler is playing why do you expect the players to be any different?
Most will have spent their entire football life playing 4-4-2 and are now expected to play a system they are both unused to and clearly incapable of playing.

A 20 goal a season striker, started this season very well and working his socks off for the team. Seemed to go backwards at Chester and the silliness has crept back in.
Maybe if we kept the strikers busy and fed them more the tricks and shenanigans would stop.

Just listened to Stan’s post match interview after Alfreton, he is focused on the opposition too much.
We must get better at changing from defence to attack! What a negative tosser, be positive and get on the attack all of the time, and worry about getting better at turning attack into defence.
With only one shot on goal and a rabble formation something does need to change and it’s you, Butler.

So he hasn’t ‘got to go’ now then? He must be relieved. Why do you imagine he’ll be taking any pointers from you after you started this thread?
To be clear, though I agree it came across wrong the ‘pointers’ were from a great many people on here who know their football.
We should maybe investigate the 360° u turn and arrogance of dogged belief in a useless, crap, unentertaining system which after two abysmal home displays has suddenly gone!!
Someone is taking notice and if you believe it’s AB and JS you must believe in the tooth fairy, Santa Claus and fairies.
The only change in a week is LT but that’s not the reason, it’s the people who made the decision on both LT and the playing system who obviously know football and care about the club.
