I think the penny finally dropped with AB when he saw the fans’ response after the Alfreton game.

[lesgeo]

We need last year’s Will Evans in the side.

[lesgeo]

I am most uncomfortable about this but you can’t just kick ideas into touch without a full and proper examination.
Close scrutiny will probably show that this is not for us but leadership by knee- jerk assumption and guesswork is nonsensical.

[lesgeo]

Sorry to hear this. My last run in cost me money. Not happy.

[lesgeo]

Scales played more positively last night than I’ve seen in a while.
Far from perfect but the team look to be getting more right than wrong.
I was encouraged.

[lesgeo]

Yes, IFA – but how legit was Max’s goal?

[lesgeo]

Boys done good.
Deserved win.

Let’s support these guys.

Our last 4 goals conceded were, apparently, pretty poor. Cost us 5 points.
(Question marks over Fitz?)
I dunno. I don’t travel in winter.

[lesgeo]

How big is the clear-out going to be at the end of the season, I wonder?

[lesgeo]

I see little evidence that the Iron can be champions. There are far too many negatives.
Frankly, 2nd and 3rd both look highly improbable.
The best I can see is us scraping into the really tough part of the playoffs with those welcoming away fixtures.
Wanna be wrong but no indicators that we can achieve promotion this year.
Much has to change before we can embrace concepts such as optimism.

[lesgeo]

It weren’t ‘im.

[lesgeo]

Fans who were there today – was it the fault of players/manager/combination?

[lesgeo]

Travelling fans – I salute you!

[lesgeo]

My weather report sez only hits 1 degree Celsius at 12 pm after long spell zero or below.
May be played but looks pretty doubtful to me.

[lesgeo]

I lived in Mablethorpe for 5 years as a youngster.

[lesgeo]

Surely, it was all dependent on the manager playing a viable system – or no.

Sigh.

If we’d not lingered in that wretched trough for several months – you wouldn’t have seen us now for all the dust in our wake.

[lesgeo]

I adored Clunan when he arrived. His play then sagged but he was looking pretty decent again by the end of the season.
He sagged this season when we fell into the ‘mustn’t correct the faults scenario’.
We finally set up a more intelligent playing system. Lo and behold, he starts looking like the great player he can be.

It only took our present and future manager to walk away from a failing system and the quality of the players starts to show through.
Well done, Andy.

A number of my cousins are gonna be fretting.

[lesgeo]

If we can/could/might get two or three improvement players in in January – what’d you like to see.

[lesgeo]

Hopefully not.

[lesgeo]

We wanted AB to show that he was flexible – well, he has. Football has improved and results okayish.
Might I suggest that he has taken ‘advice’ on board?

[lesgeo]

Well Scales and Clunan are knocking the goals in from CM.
Carlton and Beck are scoring shedloads up front.
So, no need to have any concerns AND we have the bonus of loadsa goals from defenders which is a real bonus.

Rene Artois

[lesgeo]

Simple speculation? The talk of many seems to see it as a certainty that he will go.
Do we know this as a definite fact?

[lesgeo]

Clunan found the space he must have been long craving today; Williams brought depth when he came on; Denton looked decent – and what a goal-line save!
Carlton looked as if might need longer studs but was sharp. Defence was sound but I’d prefer to see the line be 10 yards further forward. I don’t like opposition forwards lurking on the edge of the box.

We looked shaky at times, particularly near the end – but there was far more sound passing than we’ve seen in any three games combined in recent history.
The Farsley result was better but that had more to do with Farsley’s abysmal form at that point and today’s game saw plentiful real passing.
Has a corner been turned? (It certainly seems to have been so for Farsley.)
For AB’s sake, as well as the club’s – let us hope so!

[lesgeo]

Today has looked rather more like an away team trying to play decent football. We’ll see what the 2nd half brings.
