To be honest I am in total shock of the last four games, with the squad we have I would have expected a win at Maidenhead, a point at Woking, last week would have expected to lose but not at 3-0 up, I blame Keith’s substitutions for that one, today I would have been happy with a draw but when you play sixty minutes against ten men you should at least draw and really win, but this is Scunthorpe and we are used to new lows every season for the last four years and a bit.

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.
never expected to win all four, but would have expected at least a win and a draw.
1 point from our last 14 away games, and our home form isn’t much better, so I have seen us sack managers for a lot less, I wonder why Keith didn’t do a end of game interview.

I thought throwing away a 3-0 lead was bad enough, but losing to a team with 10 men is a bigger low than last week, we do like to lose.
So that is eight consecutive away defeats, and thirteen defeats and one draw this year

Saw them play at Doncaster over 50 years ago, Werder Bremen.

Colchester home
If it isn’t with the players, it certainly is with the supporters.

up to now football clubs have had fixed rates I understand, but there was concern about the rising prices.
Our problem is when we concede we usually concede again soon after, and nine times out of ten if a team score against us when we are winning we don’t score another.

on Saturday that corner was like the Keystone Cops looking after a under 5s Creche.

I have just tweeted Neil and asked him if he will post a reply on here, but whether he will I don’t know.
Who’s and what comment Mick. Thought the flag was “we want Swanny out”? Maybe mistaken but I thought it went up the same time as all the tennis balls were thrown maybe somebody from the east or west stand could tell us. In which case that should make it acceptable.
it was on Twitter that someone posted a picture of a conversation Neil was involved in and Neil made comments about we gave them the corner …… and can’t remember the words but he didn’t sound happy and I think he said he went round there, but others who followed the conversation will tell you more, someone was blamed for unlocking the gate into the away end but can’t be bothered to search for it, I am not asking Lee because if people have got into trouble for it he won’t say and he will probably make a statement, because he won’t be happy, apparently the club can get in to trouble if fans throw the ball into the back of the stands, and that happened a few times on Saturday and fans also came over the wall but were sent back.

I don’t think Neil Wright was impressed by his comments and in full view of everyone in the directors box, didn’t some go into the away end provoking Solihull fans after a gate was left open.
Some clubs have their own Railway Station close by, Solihull have their own Airport.
I wasn’t blaming them for subbing Alfie because he was starting to flag, but he was replaced by a more defensive player and the attacking threat went.
but if you go 3-0 up and then concede it doesn’t help shutting up shop and inviting pressure, because as soon as we concede one goal another comes soon after, and yesterday it happened twice.
at least I don’t think anyone has blamed George Taft, though it would probably have made more sense if Taft had come on for Dan Gallimore when it was 3-2 late on because the lad messed up 3 clearances in quick time and you could see he was knackered, but when we did make a substitution, can’t remember offhand but was Butterfield taken off for Carver at 3-3 or 4-3 but a strange one taking experience off instead of youth again with Gallimore, couldn’t the coaching staff see he was struggling
the writing was on the wall with me when Alfie Beestin came off and that is no disrespect to Whitehouse but any attacking intent went from that point.

I said in a earlier post I watched them play York, and they kept at them and the worst thing you could do is sit back against them, so what happens, as soon as they score the first goal we sat back all the second half, also why wasn’t Gallimore subbed instead of Butterfield, the lad was dead on his feet and making error after error, we could easily have lost against Yeovil after we conceded, the team had played so well until they scored but their heads completely dropped, and Lord knows what was said at half time because why do you go on all out defence with a one goal lead, so deflating for us fans and its just a continuation of last season, yet we haven’t got a bad squad so what is this protecting what we have got tactics all about.

I watched them play York the other night, and both are decent teams, but York attacked them and more than held their own and a draw was fair, in fact York should have sneaked it, play tactically and sit back we will lose but just do what York did and have a go, I don’t think Keith has grasped this league yet, it is not a tippy tappy play for a draw league, it is like the old fourth division, end to end.
Neil is 100% a fan NLI.

A, we have gone down a division
B, we have a stronger squad than last season
C, we have just played 2 of the lower average teams in this league
D, we all know this league is more direct in the play and after the Yeovil game we know it is end to end football not tactical
C, we created loads of chances on Saturday and like usual most are the wrong side of the woodwork, but concede easily
D, do they practice shooting and defending in training
E, what was yesterday’s performance all about, didn’t listen on radio but followed on Twitter and never saw any mention of their keeper being troubled until it was 2=0
F, is Keith overthinking tactics and going for a draw than trying to win away games, we are in a continuation from where we were last season, that’s 13 away without a win and 1 in nearly 40, mindset all wrong
G, how many of you feel we can get something out of a game when we go a goal behind
H, we are always going to get results and performances throughout a season like the last two, but we never seem to see one were we dominate away from home and start banging a few goals in, it’s a continuation and the coaching staff need a rethink because it is Groundhog Day every away game
I, just hope the home form doesn’t follow suit because with the players we have we should be a top half of the league club

This is the 13th away game since we won at Oldham, and by the sounds of it we are just sitting back and taking it.
Sounds like poor defending again and us not hitting the target, we can’t be taking teams lightly, certainly a wake up call when you are 3 goals down to a team you would expect to at least get a point from.
Usual story, our efforts go wrong side of the woodwork, they score 3 goals because they get them on target after our players go to sleep with sloppy defending.
whoever is going to buy the club I wish they would just get on with it, I am starting to think Peter Swann can’t let go.

I might have been in the pub in Blyth, don’t think I have been to pubs in Carlton or Tickhill but if I did its a long while ago.
Not far from me Mick. I lived in Blyth for 6 years and now in Tickhill
not far away, I was born in Worksop and our Marylin lives in Carlton in Lindrick, 6 miles, and I have a Aunt who isn’t much older than me lives in Bircotes which is only a couple of miles from Tickhill
According to Phil the assistant chairman of Halifax Town SC most teams are full time but some clubs he calls hybrid, so I presume it means a mixture of full time and semi pros.
So maybe the reason on the report of Altrincham going full time from semi pro.1 user thanked author for this post.
Halifax are full time pros Awaywego, I have just asked the Vice Chairman of their Supporters Club who I know and lives in Misterton.
