Booing is wholly sufficient. It says it all. Anything above and beyond that is unacceptable.

Shocking first half. We were clearly a notch better than Alfreton in the second.
1/10 for an ultra weak ref who was constantly bullied by the Alfreton big gobs; he gave them the ‘benefit of the doubt’ repeatedly – and us never. Cheating welcomed.
This division is making me paranoid!
Would anyone please give us a price for Elliott?
I am also concerned about Scales. How rare it is to see him bring anything other than mere continuity to the play – and not always that. Anyone know how many – if any – assists he has got this season? I’m not seeing any end product.
Hopefully, after Tuesday, Clarke will be approaching match fitness. He must surely be more effective.1 user thanked author for this post.
I usually support any manager until I really can do so no longer.
I am distinctly unimpressed by his one dimensional, tactical thinking. Surely, we can do better.
If he does win us promotion – which I now consider improbable – then, we are morally obliged to give him a punt at the NL. But I would expect him to improve from where we are now.
Surely, Nelson would have done a better job with this side. But then, the problem is that our squad might well have been very different.6 users thanked author for this post.
IMHO, Clunan is nothing like the player he was in the first few months of the season.
In that period, incisive passing was probably the main part of his function on the pitch.
Today, he is not really attempting to do this – and on the few occasions he does – passes are generally not finding their target.
This can also be viewed as a rather different problem for which he is not to blame.
Off the ball movement is nowhere what it was at the start of the season. Simple fact.
I have wondered whether this may have been hidden from view for a while because of what Smith was doing for us.
Another question is begged when we consider the midfield goals contribution from Clunan and Scales. Derisory!1 user thanked author for this post.
TWICE in first half v Scarborough, commentary turned into MUSIC!!
I keep trying not to use the word ‘incompetent’ but …1 user thanked author for this post.
Will someone explain to me why, at corners, we don’t have a player 10 yards beyond the far post racing in towards the post to create havoc. Cassidy, Percy Freeman – even Alick Jeffrey did that on occasion. Think – Ernie Moss and Chris Chilton.
Apologies to those who haven’t a clue who I’m talking about.4 users thanked author for this post.
A great many of our problems stem from the fact that the excellent Clunan has not managed to produce that same excellence which we had become accustomed to in the earlier part of the season.

Appalling. Got zero BBC commentary til 3-07. The connecting pictures for each game – https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/national-league – were up around two clock – except for us and York.
I had to keep refreshing and finally got the right connection pop up at 3-02. Five minutes beyond that before I could access video. Scream!
Is it Humberside not connecting up or is it BBC Sport?

I am quite old; struggle to drive at night; can’t cope with cold weather because my Warfarin makes me feel like a block of ice when temperatures are in single figures – and what cold does to my arthritic body is a horror story.
I don’t usually complain.
But, I am Iron to the core and miss far, far too many matches.
Vanarama televised matches keep me in touch.
Incidentally, in my younger days I watched the Iron on 120 different grounds. I reckon that I’ve earned the right to watch as many televised games as is humanly possible.
There are many more from my generation just like me.5 users thanked author for this post.
