Scunny Tim. Youre having a laugh. If you think that we were just unlucky why didnt we take a grip of the game. Yes Blyth sat deep and were looking for a 0-0. But we didnt do nothing to break them down. For gods sake we were playing Blyth Spartans. Dont you expect more from your team, because I do. As for the substitutions. Once again Jimmy got it wrong. We can whinge about the disallowed goal but if we have hopes of promotion you gotta ask yourself. Was this promotion form ? We were piss poor at best.

So what are you saying Iron=awe. Are you suggesting Fans should just accept the football on show until Swan is gone and the club sold. We all know that we are not world beaters but every game we play I expect the players we have to be organised which they are clearly not. Even with the behind the scenes disaster I still want us to compete in every game. Oh ! and maybe win once in a while. As for Keith Hill the fans do not want him. I think you may be of the opinion, they do. Either way. If he had anything about him, he would walk

How much longer can we stomach this. Whoever thought we would lose to Maidenhead, Woking , Solihull Moors and Bromleyall within the space of 2 weeks. How long before Keith walks or does he really have the skin of a Rhino.

Another Hill Masterclass. It gets worse week on week.

If Hill is not replaced we are doomed. You dont have to be brains of Britain to know that the football we are playing is shite.If you are a Hill fan just ask yourself how many shots on goal did we have tonight. How long can you go on paying decent money to watch shite performances

Yet another Hill masterclass. Keith Hill and Benny Hill have one thing in common. They are both jokers. Keith Hill being the biggest joke. Having put up with the crap served up at Maidenhead and at Woking tonight he has got to go. At least Hill got a day out at the clubs expense. He is living on his reputation as Rochdale manager 10yrs ago.Time moves on and so should he.

What a disaster the first half was. Schoolboy degending. Allowing the ball to come across. Players swinging and missing. The last Maidenhead goal in the last minute of the first half was a shocker. For me, we should have been pumping high balls into Nuttall who had the beating of their defenders in the air. But, oh no. Instead we played tippy tappy football and got nowhere. O Malley seemed to be playing too deep and could have overlapped more, but he seemed reluctant to get forward. Taft worries me and got caught out several times. Ogle was a class above the rest. With us only having a 10 minute spell in a 90 minute game is a worry. Yet another Hill master class. I cant figure out how the managet wants the team to play.

I have yet to see Taft have a dominant display. I still have nightmares over his performance at Harrogate when we got thrashed. His lack of pace is clear to see. The latest disaster being the Rochdale game. His positional sense is poor and he gets caught in possession. He is a good header of the ball. To be of any use this campaign he needs to sharpen up, but IMO he is just a liability.

I didnt expect much from the Rochdale game and wasn’t disappointed. Just looked like a group of lads thrown together.In comparison with Rochdale we were slow and devoid of ideas. Yes we scored a good goal but it was too little to late. We seem to want to pass the ball in our own half for ages until someone loses the ball. Taft is well past his sell by date. Rochdale were more physical, faster and played with more purpose. Our defence is poor and once again we were cut open time and time again. Typical of Sinclair to rub salt into the wounds showing what a good finisher he is when he gets service. Trouble is last season we never gave him any service. He has clearly gained confidence in his play more then can be said for the Scunthorpe Team. Mr Hill worries me.
Its at times like this that the fans need to be told what is happening with recruitment. Is KH, LT & WS looking at half decent players in non league or are we waiting to see what dross other clubs are letting go. If the club want fans to support the club then at least the club should be keeping the fans up to date. Our club webpage tells you nothing. The club have little or nowt to say. Now that is worrying.

What were we doing offering him a deal in the first place. 1 goal in 20 games. He’s a joke.

For those who think Hill is our saviour, consider this. Hills best win percentage was at Tranmere 50%. If we got a 50% win rate in the National League that would mean we would get 66pts plus a few draws. This will be short of the 88+ points needed to bounce straight back to L2. If he was to maintain his 6.06% win rate we will be playing Sunday League Football. Cox was sacked with a 21.74% win petcentage. Paul Hutst with 31.6%. Even Alan Knill managed 20% win petcentage. The stats are there to see. Dont swallow the BS.He talks sbout the culture at the club but has done little or nothing to address it. He is as bad as the wasters he has been in charge of & some of those wasters he signed to stem the rot. We cannot keep this management team of Hill & McMahon if we want to be competitive.However, im sure they will be happy to take another years wage for failure.

Mr Hill is now saying that the players were ill disciplined and that this is one of the main reasons for the clubs failure. No mention of why this was allowed to happen. Mr Hill may have been a success in the past decade but he has not motivated the players one iota. He has shown us NOTHING. He now goes on record as saying Bolton and Tranmere threw him under the bus. You gotta ask yourself why. Bye bye Keith its time to be thrown under the Scunny bus. We cannot suffer any worse than we are now. As many have said we need a total clear out.its time to start again.

I do not go into the bar to talk to Lee Turnbull so some of you may be privy to what might be going on.
If anyone knows. Can they tell me please. I do not want apologies I just want to know from the club and management what the plan is for next year. Are we looking at new players ? Are we looking at old players. Will we have any players ? How are we going to spend the money we get from the Football League. Simply WTF is going on to get us back into the league. I can then make a decision as to whether I buy a season ticket. The new season will be here before we know it & at this rate we will still be none the wiser.3 users thanked author for this post.

There are too many to list. My memories of Scunny over the past 2 years is not something I care to recall.3 users thanked author for this post.
Today was just another part of Keiths masterplan. Just the sort of performance that will fill the ground next year.NOT. Come back Alan Knill. Only joking ! Next year we will struggle to assemble a fire drill. How much more bollocks can we take.

To all of the ‘ Give Hill a chance ‘ daydreamers. In the words of Burnsey ” Give your head a wobble”
2 wins in 28 games. If you were crap at your job you would be asked to leave or be sacked. The new football season starts in 16 weeks time 30th July 2022. Our last game is 7th May. That means after the last last game there is 12 weeks to sort out the ownership of the club & ground. The assembly of a new team capable of getting us straight back into League 2 at the first time of asking. All under the watchful eye of Keith Hill. I can predict that early next season we will be hearing the words ” “Recruitment was difficult” ” The players haven’t had time to gel” ” Some of the lads are trying hard but are not up to speed” ” The team are trying hard but individual errors are costing us” I know they are an honest bunch” We are trying as best as we can to get this football team back to where it belongs” I’m confident we will get there. I’ve never been a quitter” Blah Blah Blah !
Do all you ‘Hillocks’ realise how bad the situation is.1 user thanked author for this post.
ITS ALL DOWN HILL. All football managers know that football is a results business. Keith Hill took the job knowing full well what he was getting himself into. Now that he has failed to deliver why do some people jump to his defence saying that he has had no decent players to manage. Hill is the one who sold us the merits of the players he brought in to supposedly save the day As always we gave these players the benefit of doubt. Never did we think they were going to be world beaters but we lived in hope they were going to make us better than Barrow ,Carlisle ,Stevenage ,Oldham & Colchester. Now that the lads have not performed Hill has changed his tune & is now saying individually & collectively we are not good enough. The fact is I cannot stand seeing his laid back managerial attitude on the sidelines. He doesnt want to give the players a bollocking because it might destroy the confidence of the players. Clearly the arm around the shoulder approach is not having an effect. I have seen Sunday League teams better organised. Keith, football is supposed to be an entertainment ” Wake up & smell the roses ” What you are giving the paying fans is plain shite” A 7% win rate tells you so. Its clear to see that Hill, Peter Swan & Will Swann have made a right horlicks of recruitment. Do I really believe SUFC will be a force to be reckoned with next year. Not a cat in hells chance. Even LT didnt inspire confidence by saying that Will Swann & Hill will sort next years recruitment out with input from him if he is asked. Hill has shown us 2 wins in 28 games. Once upon a time watching Scunthorpe was a joy now the only excitement is when we get over the half way line.
I am sick of Keith Hills pre match & post match psycho babble always tinged with positive spin. I am also sick of individual players coming out with the cliche ” We need to look long & hard at ourselves” yet there is no change. I hope that when & IF new owners are found they have a complete clear out & start from scratch. Something is seriously wrong with the club but nobody will speak out. Everyone wants to be pals. Look where that has led. Lets have some honesty. The players who are not good enough need to be told & moved out. The manager needs to be told he is not good enough & shipped out. But I suppose if that happens we wont get to see Keiths secret plan. It must be Top Secret because nobody knows what it is. Just like our football style ” Make it up as you go along”
Here we are dropping out of the football league & what is being done on & off the pitch to encourage fans to return next year. NOTHING !! Its sad to think that I will be one of the Scunny 1000 faithful next year. But on a positive note I might be able to get a pie before the game starts.7 users thanked author for this post.
The Manager talks a good job. That is as positive as it gets. I thought that the players he brought in were bought to stem the losses. His 7% win rate is woeful. We are no further on than we were under the management of Cox. Lets hope Turnbull has some influence to get us to a better place.
