I think that we are a player short, CBRP.
I’m far from convinced that Scales and Roberts can play in the same midfield. For me, it throws the balance right out of kilter.
Every regular on here probably knows that I was a great admirer of Bish: not only a pretty big guy but he brought a kind of order and control to CM which we currently lack. Clunan is a good player but is rather slight of build.
Clearly, we can’t afford a player with all of Bishop’s attributes but there must be a player in NLN or NLS hewn out of a similar mould that we could chase down.
Currently, this really is one of the smaller midfields I’ve seen over the last half century.

Far from convinced with our midfield?

We sit top after 8 games winning 6 of them and drawing the other two whilst conceding TWO?

Unbelievable some of the garbage that comes from our ‘fans’

Time and effort? Does scrolling with your finger tire you out or something?

Why did Whitehall have an attitude?

How would I know why? That’s a question for Whitehall.

No it’s a question to you..

Why did he supposedly have one? What’s your reasonings?

If you think Clunan is a nothing captain then your judgement is shocking!

Don’t be so ridiculous. He might do a lot of talking and a lot of pointing, but I’ve never seen any of the other players on the pitch acknowledge or respond. He lacks presence and authority.

Plenty of authority for me, funny how the manager seems to think so too.

im not getting all the hype about the actual performance it wasnt that great,first half except the goal was dire improvement second half way better more dominant

On the whole it was competent rather than inspiring. The second half was a big improvement over the first, once the substitutions had been made.

Whitehall’s goal was a belter but he seemed to have an attitude problem up to that point.

Clunan is a nothing captain, with little to no presence or authority. Is he good at doing the phone calls and collecting the subs for the snooker tournaments and golf days?

Why did Whitehall have an attitude?

If you think Clunan is a nothing captain then your judgement is shocking!

McArdle & Boyce from recent memory have been awful captains, how can the quietest player be captain?

Also, is it time to remove Steve Hope’s services? He’s an embarassment to the club with his actions, month after month. The club have a professional photographer in Luke Broughton who does a great job.

In what way is he embarrassing the club? I seem to remember him being fairly strong on his pro-Hilton opinions a year ago.

Loves to have a go at fans, like Maw and Mahony, and his meltdowns. New Era, United we Stand… Not with these characters around.

Cry me a river..

Can see a 2,3 nil reverse on Saturday. I’m not confident about 3-5-2, I know it’s one of the harder formations for players to adapt to and it doesn’t take much for opposition to turn the 3 into a 5. Heart says 2-1 Scunny though

2, 3 nil reverse…..

Cracking prediction.

Also.. I heard every single word on my phone for the interview

It was a constant effort not to switch the volume off when Dean was being interviewed.

It’s notable that Dean has had absolutely nothing to say since leaving Scunthorpe United – at the least you’d have thought he’d be offering a word to the fans.

After all the abuse he got from majority of our fans?

Don’t blame him at all!

the bloke who claimed it nearly hit is son on the head I know very well, and it is a good job he didn’t get his hands on the thrower, he is built like a Tank and would have throttled him

The flare landed on the pitch maybe about 10 feet away it was barely near anyone in that area

Yes he is built like a tank but he seems to like picking on the youngsters, doesn’t say a thing to anyone older

Him and his friend are both as bad as each other

They caused trouble months ago aggravating another fan which resulted in him being thrown out all because they was stood at the wall for 5 minutes.. half hour later both are stood at the wall!

Beware of this being our ‘banana skin’ game.

This could be our toughest game so far this season, has warnings written all over – 1 club in top 3 and 1 in the bottom 2 ! So many will have written Gloucester off so we need to be more motivated than ever and show Gloucester City total respect.

Not happening, not a chance they play like Boston/Buxton they are on the same points as Darlington absolutely shocking form!

Be like Bishops Stortford

Another 5

Agreed! I’d keep and play him alongside Whitehall.

That means Carver can go to Southport on a permanent and we can afford to lose Elliott or Bennett.

Once we get Beestin and Roberts fit you could argue that we could manage without either.

Yeah that’s it, he starts playing on the wing and starts scoring goals and you want to put him up top with Whitehall whilst also changing the shape we play, just leave it as it is!

No one is correct all the time Steve, in fact I sometimes get it wrong ha ha!, but I enjoyed watching the game pal, and was very pleased to be wrong on this occasio.

If you want a correct forcast this Saturday it will be Scunny 4 Bishop Storford 0.

Attendance 4,229. Hope that I am correct this time Steve ???? what do you predict pal.

Before the match I said another 6… with them being second bottom and leaking lots of goals, consolation ruined it for me.

i have a feeling that the team are slipping up right now, and according to some reports, a few players are not puuting a lot of effort into their performances.
So although the team tend to play better in home games (apart from the Buxton match), I am going for a forcast of:-
SCUNTHORPE 0 SPENNYMOOR 2.

3,743 ATTENDANCE Reflected by the poor showing on Saturday.

These two home matches this week could well be a big pointer on what chances they have on getting out of this League, six points and a lot more fight from some players would be welcome to our long suffering fans.

Can’t get an atmosphere to build if there’s endless music blasted over the PA though, can you? Not so much during the game but pre-match it’s hard to even talk to your mates over the noise of the PA.

Yes you really can the atmosphere is STILL there after the music goes off!

Finding something to moan about now Hilton has gone stop being pathetic

Not really worth moaning about is it?

[Steve]

Bennett played pretty decent to be honest, whenever he’s come off the bench he’s barely lost a header, also won the free kick which Butterfield scored from.

Boyce isn’t first choice because he is one of our slowest players and is good at winning headers thats it, his ball playing is shocking whereas Evans is much better.

Wilson really needs to pull his finger out can’t remember the last decent game he had

[Steve]

Shame

Robertson went on a season long loan to Marske United on the 10th August

Whitehall is a strange one for such a big lad, he goes down far too easy and is always looking for the foul instead of going for goal. The second half one when he was virtually through on goal then fell over like he was pole axed was pathetic, the ref got the decisions around Whitehall’s so called fouls against just about right IMO, the ref however overall was poor. I know it’s from a different time and laws have changed over the years but Steve Torpey would have had that Scarborough centre back for breakfast, dinner and tea after the first twenty minutes. Agree about Whitehall, grow up FFS.

Oh you mean when he was actually tripped up when through on goal?
