    Quite right Ferrite. It is for the Court to decide on the verdict and the punishment.

    The football world is awash with young men who have committed criminal offences. The Iron have had their share. Colclough is not the first.

    The question that should be asked is what should the club do if the charges are upheld?

    “Bin him” to “get another high earner off the books”.

    OR

    Support him through this crisis in his life.

    if completely true, surely the club must take action and bin him

    Good job we didn’t have that attitude when Matt Sparrow had his little misdemeanour!

    short at FB & CM

    Full back definitely. CM not so sure as we’ve got Vincent, Taylor, Spence, Hallam, Beestin, Pugh and arguably McAttee. Plus Gilliead is being used there and isn’t CM Hornshaw’s preferred slot?

    What we are lacking in that area is experience and leadership.

    Some of our squad must have stiff necks from looking across at the technical area so often.

    If anything signing Taylor has muddied the waters…signing him has just further complicated things.

    Definitely!

    Loan in Taylor OR Vincent. To bring in both seems crazy given our paucity in the FB position. Junior Brown would have been a decent addition. Dunno why we haven’t gone for him.

    A squad of 25 with two players for each position plus a couple of utility types and an experienced leader on the pitch.

    Or are we hoarding players away for the winter months?

    If you’re playing with wingers “tucked in” then you need good full backs/wing backs.

    We have no good full backs (apart from the one with a sick note) and Swann has neatly avoided bringing any in in the transfer window.

    We’ve brought in another midfielder to add the the ones we not only have, but have forgotten about. We’ve also gone from having two strikers to having seven on the books.

    Well done to finding two decent centre backs, but not so well done for going into a new season with no experienced full backs and a goalie who has one good game in five.

    So we once again have an unbalanced squad. Colclough looking like the new Adam Hamill. Eisa benched in favour of Hippolyte. A full treatment room. These are not new scenarios. They seem to be all too familiar to us long suffering fans.

    Summat’s wrong somewhere.

    One could argue that Mr Swann is not the right man to “sort it out!”

    he appears to be one of most safety first, conservative managers we’ve had.

    One win in four doesn’t look too “safe” to me!

    Would an evening game make more sense in terms of getting people to sign up to ifollow?

    I’d prefer it.

    4-4-1-1?

    IRON: Watson, Bedeau, Gilliead, Loft, Hippolyte, Spence, Vincent, Cordner, Hornshaw, Taylor, O’Malley.

    IRON SUBS: Kelsey, Onariase, Eisa, Green, Jarvis, Beestin, Dünnwald-Turan.

    So no place for Colclough and McAtee in the squad.

    I think Cliff Byrne will get us a late equaliser.

    1-1

    I too have a problem.

    Due to being up at Kielder last Friday/Saturday with no service on my phone I was unable to place my predictions, thereby missing out on the 60pts I was bound to have got!

    If there’s clubs interested in Colclough and Eisa get them sold and buy a leader, preferably in CMF, and maybe a keeper of some experience, because as good as Watson was on Saturday knowing our luck he’s bound to get injured or suspended.

    Liverpool won the PL because Klopp stuck with Mane, Firmino & Salah when all three were fit. I can’t see Ancelotti moving away from James, Calvert-Lewin & Richarlison after the start they’ve had.

    Play your best players in their best position in a system they’re comfortable with.

    The only conclusion I can come to is that Cox doesn’t yet know his best players or has been forced by injury (some may say because of an imbalanced squad) to play a system that they’re not comfortable with.

    I’m also wondering if there will still be movement in and out before the window closes.

    he’s parried the ball into the middle of the penalty area.

    Judging by Chelsea’s equaliser yesterday that’s something Sam Johnstone learned at GP.

    Agree with Sanfran about effort. That’s one area that has improved from last year.

    so what is the news on Colclough because there has been no mention of injury as far as I know, and McAtee was isolating and not injured so should have been soon up to speed, and why isn’t Eisa starting.

    I asked this when I saw the lineup last week at Crawley.

    Are all three “For Sale”?

    I think by deduction we had worked out that Beestin must have the infected player, yet he features today and McAtee doesn’t. Strange!
