“Midfield is weak and needs a Ball winner who breaks up play, stops the opposition but then gets us forwards”.

We do, but this is the sixth tier of English football. As much as we have the pedigree of having been in the Championship and League 1 in the not too distant past these types of players are going to get better offers elsewhere. Particularly as Michelle is trying to keep the wage bill down.

It looks like loans are the only way of doing it.

Don’t want an extra midweek game, but you know that’s what we’ll probably get!

Pubs are controlled environments where it is illegal to serve customers under the influence.

Alcoholics are more likely to be found drinking at home.

Anyhow the licensing laws are much more flexible these days. Most village pubs around here only open 17:00 to 11:00.

Chains like Wetherspoons however!

Tight defences so far. Might only be one goal in it.

I don’t think they will find the new fit and aggressive Iron to be the soft touch we were last season.Maxi will probably score it.

Great call MK. Evans for Maxi and you were pretty much spot on!

Other results went our way too. Hope the luck doesn’t run out too soon.

Passing practice for all. Kiddy’s pass success rate must have been twice ours. Hardly wasted a ball whereas we gave it away too cheaply too often.
Shooting practice for Carlton and a couple of others. Situations where hitting the target is a minimum requirement.

Was the same at Shields ‘tash.

Luckily we look to have a well drilled defence and DMF.

I guess that making us difficult to score against is a good platform to build upon.

Longest serving player on the books. Respect!

It won’t be footballers going by today’s deadline!

Same lineup as Monday with Beestin replacing Carlton. Makes sense.

[Northumbiron]

Arrrgh! We’re doomed!

If only Reform had won the election it would have been soooo much better.

He won’t go down as the worst manager Scunthorpe United has ever had. Far from it.

Bloody Hell I wasn’t comfortable watching it, especially the second half. Allowed them to have far too much of the ball. Ultimately however, they did nowt with their possession apart from the attempt that Fitz saved low down.

The league’s top two scorers from last season on the pitch and Whitehall edged it. Just wish he’d keep his gob shut. Another needless booking.

Evans my MOM but really liking Nicholson. Agree re: Carlton. Rustier than the spanners at the back of my garage. Hopefully he’ll sharpen up over the next few games.

Excellent win nevertheless. UTI

I’ve not seen us win away since before Covid.

Just saying like!

A year ago this would have been about a ground share with Gainsborough!

[Northumbiron]

Yes! And I’m 71.

Just need the right people in. Look at Stockport County.

(I could have said “and Wrexham” but their circumstances are rather different)

If you’re travelling independently go into Newcastle City Centre, then get the Metro to Bede. It’s right next to the ground.

I would think Labour’s agenda is to try and sort out the fourteen years of mismanagement they inherited from the previous government.

I reckon unmasking themselves as lizard people bent on world domination will have to wait until their third term in office.

Some people seem to forget just how far down the pyramid we’ve fallen.

At NLN level do we have the players who can be “a force that teams can’t live with”?

Last season we were beaten to promotion by Tamworth and Boston. Both are struggling to adapt to the NL. You know, that league that fans thought was the arse end of the universe not so long ago.

Going to get a lot of nights like tonight over the next ten months. Take the win and move on.

Your lack of understanding ,Northumbiron,is clearly seen in your last post.

So says the reverend Stanley Unwin!
