Their keeper had no chance with the goals but looked very tidy for the rest of the game and a couple of the saves from Mo were excellent.

One to consider when we can’t afford Fitzsimons salary next season.

[MK Iron]

Not the quickest learner but got to the obvious formation in the end.

To his credit the team are fitter and more resilient than much the same team were under Dean.

Rowley has to count as a success and Carlton and Beck showing signs of getting there.

Fishburn and Brogan have not delivered. Butler claims they were development players but I don’t buy that rationale with a small squad and no reserve or U-21 teams.

Rose and Fadera have both been good signings.

At the end of the day if Butler wins promotion he will have done a fantastic job. Always hard to deliver with the favourites.

If he doesn’t achieve promotion he should probably go. Really hoping he stays to (almost) universal approval.

[MK Iron]

Pretty sure he said on yesterday’s Humberside interview he has had a setback and won’t be in the squad.

Carlton or Beck to start then.

Rose out for another 2 weeks or so. Another start for Kelly at right back I’m guessing.

[MK Iron]

In the unlikely event that CR10 is still with us next season I would let him have any shirt he wants.

I think we have probably made about 5 or 6 defensive schoolboy errors that have gifted the opposition a goal all season.

3 of these came in the away game at Southport in a game we were totally dominant until the crazy stuff began.

Each of our 3 centre backs gifted them a goal. A pretty average to poor team otherwise. New manager bounce perhaps?

Wow. A thread about football.

[MK Iron]

Bullshit then. EFL club cannot sign him until summer window and they don’t need to pay us a cent to do that.

Unless he has a contract for next season with us that the club forgot to mention.

[MK Iron]

Great news if true about Cal Roberts. I’m amazed he didn’t have any EFL contract verbally agreed by Christmas.

Time will tell if he did or not as it must have been a National League side that made the offer.

[MK Iron]

I’m with IA on this. Don’t care what others do. If we do our jobs and play with the intensity we saw Saturday it won’t matter.

Time to start (and finish) the away games with more attacking intent than many away games this season.

[MK Iron]

So Bradford attracted 4.3% of their cities population whilst 2nd in League 2.

Scunthorpe attracted 10.2% of their towns population. Even the Iron average attendance not counting yesterday beats the Bradford attendance as a percentage of population (4.7%).

Last time at Aggborough was for the Worcester City FA Cup penalty extravaganza.

Can’t make it Tuesday – work interfering with life again. Will have to watch the livestream.

[MK Iron]

Awaywego has got it wrong. Unless the football team is utter sh1te the fans don’t slag off owners that pay the bills.

They flag off owners that don’t pay the bills e.g. latter day Swann, Hilton and the recently departed Farsley chairman.

[MK Iron]

They are struggling to make 100 home fans. Sad situation.

[MK Iron]

I don’t bother much these days Sanfran. Don’t do X or Facebook and am uninterested in what a handful of idiots post on there. Don’t see any point in rehashed Hilton tales either.

Only leaves talking football or trying to have a laugh which used to generate some decent posts but doesn’t seem be what interests folks anymore.

Maybe we all have PTSD from the Hilton and Swann eras.

If Trump is a Christian then I’m very relieved that I’m not.

I’m guessing but my take it was more that Cass than coming off in the 88th minute of a game that was clearly won.

[MK Iron]

He was a very grumpy young man when he came off last night.

[MK Iron]

We put more crosses in during the last 15 minutes than we did in the previous 75 minutes. Trouble was Beck was off the field by then.

[MK Iron]

On a slightly more serious note the fella did OK when he came on yesterday. Put himself about and showed 2 or 3 good touches.

Something different to Beck and Whitehall. Better in the air than Danny and more mobile than Mark.

For what it’s worth thought Beck was OK yesterday as well. The team overall looked lethargic and ponderous until the last 15 minutes. When the choice was getting a cross in for Beck or pass it back to a defender we nearly always chose option 2.

That won’t stop him Cass. He will have his squatters rights sign on the gate before the weeks out.

Some confusion in Butler interviews as to Boycies bookings total. Could be 9 or Could be 10. Could be playing today. If not then Evans steps in.

Whitehall injury will be subject to scan which doesn’t happen until any swelling has gone.

I doubt Starbucks will be called on until Rose gets injured or recalled by Peterborough.

Carlton might step up to the bench given Beck will start.

Same squad as Tuesday apart from Beck replacing Whitehall and Carlton taking Becks bench seat. If Boyce is suspended then Evans off the bench which means Starbucks might get a seat.

[MK Iron]

The official end of 5 at the back.

Better late than never.
