Trying too hard!
We know BJ is a parody account but disappointed in Awaywego. What the hell a murder investigation has to do with Scunthorpe v Tranmere is beyond me.
Stayed out this afternoon so didn’t get back to buy a pass.
Looks like I caught the bad 0 – 0 last weekend, and missed the good one today.
More observations please chaps (on the game that is).
Good point over your £500 BS. I’ve just counted the games I’ve watched and it’s 27. So I’ve spent £270 myself! Blimey!
Sun is shining so off out for a walk now. If I’m back for 2:00 – 2:15 I buy a pass, otherwise I’ll not bother after witnessing the non-events of Tuesday.
Rapidly losing interest.

The taking of the knee is achieving nothing.
So what will achieve something?
Or is the problem going to be ignored AGAIN?

We aren’t unique.
But has Villa’s chairman told the fans that once Grealish is fit it will “be like signing a new player”?
Either that or going against the chairman.
And we all know how that ends!
Loft is 50/50
Loft is 50/50 when he isn’t injured!

Are there worse chairman? Yes absolutely but this is used by apologists
There’s a Premier League club 20 miles down the A69 from me that are a case in point.
They will stay up (just) because they have gained enough points, not because they are any good, but because the opposition have had a rare off day.
The owner tells the fans that staying in the PL is the aim every season and that has been achieved. That the club cannot afford to spend money like a top four club (despite giving a £4.5 million salary to a non-scoring Brazilian). The football on offer is crap and despite what the owner says the fans demand better. The demeanour of the manager is downbeat but at least he’s a local lad so that’s fine.
So what do the fans do? Demand the owner sells the club (but not to some dodgy Saudi backed consortium).
Yes, Scunthorpe United are not in a unique position, but that doesn’t make it any easier us to swallow.
Perhaps it’s not just the manager who needs to learn from his mistakes.
Does that include Cox’s pride?
So what did you think of the lineup and performance on Tuesday night Bucks?

It must really grate to hear complaints from fans when you know how hard you’ve been working behind the scenes.
I worked really hard to make a full-size chocolate teapot, only to be told it wasn’t fit for purpose.
Some people complain just for the sake of it.
a new manager might just bring a bit of attacking football back for our long suffering supporters.
You mean like the last 2/3 Swann appointed to do just that?
What makes you think a new manager (feel free to offer a name or three) will do any better under the present ownership?
I also thought we should have busted a gut to sign Ivan Toney when he was here.
It was obvious he was a goal scorer, but we kept the chequebook closed and brought in Olomola instead.
Cox needs to play 2 up front. I would prefer to see Olomola and McAtee in the next match. Something has to change.
Good call.
But if he does that and we don’t win he’ll be lambasted for changing the lineup.
He’s created a no-win situation for himself!
Good luck with that!
Just had this email: –
“As a thank you for taking part in the club’s survey and leaving your details, we are pleased to enclose a unique discount code for you to get 20% off when you shop online at sufcshop.com before the end of this weekend.”
The end of this weekend? Wow that’s just four days away, so I’d better get a wiggle on if I’m going to get a discount on “soon to be last season’s” replica shirts.
Oh, hang on I missed the small print: –
“Excludes some sale items and p&p.”
A four-day discount FFS! I mean, come on Peter!

Never been possible to watch from the comfort of your own home though NI.
I’ve never been comfortable watching from the comfort of my own home this season. Even sat in the warmth of my living room with a nice Rioja in my hand.
The temptation to do something else has been too great (must admit to being distracted on several occasions last night) whereas I miss the event (and wherever the Iron play it IS an event for me to go and watch) of attending a live game.
After a while it becomes no different to watching any other tv show, such as ….. (insert amusing name).
Just a personal view. As soon as I feel I can safely attend I’ll be back.
Those armchair fans ‘tash describes have been around for many years. It’s nothing new. Sure their numbers will swell but for every one who wants to watch via a laptop or iPad I’d argue there’ll be more that want to get back out there.
I’d be quite happy sitting/standing 2m away from someone in a mask. No problem.
Live sport is like live music. There is no substitute.
That’s why team performance is the key factor. That and the club valuing its fans.
Sadly that is where we are lacking.

Swann stated that Cox’s wants to play 4/4/2 but doesn’t have strikers there to play the two upfront, yet he has Olomola now fit so that’s complete horse crap.
We’ve also a lad called Harry Jessop. If Jude Bellingham can get a game for England at 17, surely Jessop can turn out for a struggling L2 club at 18!

I’d rather he said nowt. It was the same after the last Bru podcast with him.
Even the tone of the voice is depressing.
Don’t want to hear excuses, just want to see some decent performances to finish the season.

When you’re missing a couple of CBs and a keeper surely it would be better to play as much as the game as possible in the opposition half.
However, with no striker worthy of the name and a midfield that plays the ball sideways or backwards it’s easier said than done.
Reckon we got off lightly at 2-0!

Thanks to Covid I didn’t have to drive across there and sit and watch that crap in freezing temperatures.
One positive from tonight!
On the positive side many people will be desperate to get out to some sort of event.
But I agree, there needs to be some carrots dangled.
Unfair on Loft to lump him with some of the duds
That’s why I used the term “strike force” to cover all four forwards.
Loft has done okay with others in support like KVV and Eisa when he can be bothered. But none of the other three have contributed anything to our attacking threat.
The wages of those four combined would surely have enabled us to bring in someone like Jamille Matt or Eoin Doyle if we were serious about firing our way out of this division.
And yes, those January signings should have been made in the summer. But then Swann was bigging-up Rory Watson and making a dramatic U-turn on Jordan Clarke.
Oh, and he was also telling us we were getting exciting, attacking football. Yeah, right!
Agree with Irish. Priority was to stem the leak. In that respect the January additions were the right ones.
But that doesn’t cover up the poor signings made last summer. I guess we’ll never know who actually thought that Loft, Jarvis, Mooney and Turan would form a lethal strike force, but whoever is was should be kept well out of the way this year.

Funny that. My mate from Blackpool is a big fan of Graham Alexander.
You can add Gilliead to that list. He’s probably the most experienced of the lot after Clarke.
He’s not scoring goals for Hereford FC!
We either have ambition…or we haven’t.
That could also apply to Mr Gilliead himself!
It’s not all about YOU though is it Alcy?
Anyway, back to the game. Where’s the senior pros today?
Being saved for Carlisle?
