Was talking to Ged Hallam yesterday who apart from doing the kit man job at Trinity and is a director there, he told me he has heard the nobody wants the Scunthorpe manager’s job under the present situation, and said he is baffled Finley Shrimpton isn’t in our first team, running the midfield there, and says they signed Harry Lewis on loan as a left back but have moved him to left wing and he is doing well there, we’ve all said he is a winger not a full back.
But it is the dressing room joke that they will be playing Scunthorpe next season.3 users thanked author for this post.
Listening to the commentary, it sounded that they have now lost any and all self-belief.
They are now virtually incapable of: defending, holding possession, making clean passes, finding space, riding tackles, tackling and reading the game.
These are, for the most part, not poor players.
They simply have no leaders on the pitch to start addressing that rather lengthy list of problems. Failure breeds ever more failure.
Only an injection of leaders can save us.
So, in conclusion, down we go. I am no longer sure that even an extra £1 million for the remains of this season could be enough.but apart from that everything is OK

Pele, Neil got some terrible abuse on Twitter for things that were not his responsibility, he can’t sack employees, he is only a reresentitive, also the same as Lee Turnbull he can’t disclose information out of the Boardroom that is supposed to stay in the Boardroom, last I heard about Neil he had the Covid and wasn’t well, but he came off Twitter because it was upsetting his wife who isn’t well herself and I think SST will back me up with these comments, I made a comment to someone on Twitter over something which was widely known and mentioned Simon Elliott who told me himself, but there was something I didn’t know about and Simon sent me and SST a DM if I could remove that post which he said could upset their negotiations into trying to buy the club, I did remove it straight away but if Simon told me he was involved I wouldn’t have mentioned him, though it was common knowledge and didn’t look offensive, but gathered that our owner isn’t easy to deal with, so I do believe Neil is available by Facebook site.

he goes in most areas of the ground most games, apart from the away end.

was it at Crawley last season, possibly without looking we kept a clean sheet.

Gateshead, York ,Halifax, all more northern than scunny.i take that 2 go in the northern and 2 in the Southern.
it doesn’t work like that, say if 3 were from the North they would transfer the most southern team out of NLN to the Southern section, King’s Lynn, Histon, Boston United, Yarmouth Town and even Oxford City and a few more have been in both.

Same old story, concede from a set piece late on and we can’t get shots on target, same story every away game we will have settled for the result with 10 minutes to go and got deeper and deeper, unless something changes we are going to get relegated, I don’t think Tony has the bottle to be a manager but for the good of the club and the fans Swann needs to sell and get the right people in to give everyone a lift, so depressing for us fans.

But 7 wins in the last 75 league games and I don’t think we have won any Cup games in that time either means it is not a good time to be a Iron fan, so I think we are doomed.

Swann pulls the plug, we go into Admin and someone picks us up.
so go into administration and virtually guarantee relegation with the deducted points, I would settle for him just selling up.

The big difference was they had pace and aggression and we don’t, ability wise we are OK but we play too much of the game like a training exercise, they were banging shots in and attacked in numbers, we pass the ball about at a slow pace for most of a game going nowhere, we rarely have a shot and don’t put the opposition under the cosh enough, too cautious until we are a goal behind and when we go 2 goals behind we give up, I have seen us play worse this season but certainly better, Wrexham looked a good side when they cut the theatrics out and the referee wasn’t the worst but generous to them a few times.

Has the new housing estate buildings plans gone before the council then
I would think Swann wants to be completely clear of Scunthorpe, because he doesn’t get on well with the Council Leader does he.
