    It was made clear in the summer the manager selected the players, and continues to do so.

    He won’t be next season though, you’ll be impressed with who will be though.

    Laws, Adkins, Warnock, Crosby, Billy Sharp?

    More players than TC Harrisons have cars (that’s going back about 4 decades… lol)

    Ahem phew

    Phew, Pugh… he didn’t have a clue.
    We need a proper clear out during the summer.
    I don’t think there’s a single player whom is worth keeping?
    They either can’t defend, can’t pass, have a poor end product, can’t stand up or can’t hit a barn door from a yard.
    Does any of their contracts extend to the end of next season? Hopefully not.
    … Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb.

    3 big centre backs for Southport… 0-0 then?

    Looks nailed on now.
    Would you rate anyone higher than 4/10 today?

    Typical… lol

    Just seen an absolute cracker from Iron Stats on Twitter.

    We have not won a game in April for 6 years.

    Bodes well for our play off chances.

    I think it’ll be a 1-1 draw – I’d take that rather than a 0-0 bore draw.
    Entertain us!

    Pathetic!

    It’s absolute rubbish.
    You see better games at the elite Sunday league clubs.

    Five changes today ?????

    They have a game of musical chairs every Friday afternoon. The last eleven sitting start!

    Another boring game. They are useless, can’t put 3 passes together.
    We’re not much better.

    I don’t think they’ve had a shot yet?

    There was a thread titled something like – “NLN, what’s the standard of player”

    Something like this:

    NLN Player Skill Level

    Recalling happy days of a Friday night trip to Southport back in 1976. Me and three mates bombed up there in my old Ford Zephyr, saw a tidy enough game in which we came back with a point thanks to a Graham Collier equaliser. We were all happy as Larry on the way back singing and laughing till we realised I’d got on the M6 North and were only 80 miles from Carlisle. Yep we were green as grass back then but we sure had a laugh, got back into town around 1 in the morning, knackered but still laughing.

    No Sat Nav back then of course :-)

    He was with the U18s at one bit, way back.

    Current form:

    Southport
    P8 W4 D3 L1 GF13 GA6 GD+7 Pts15

    Iron
    P8 W4 D2 L2 GF12 GA7 GD+5 Pts14

    Bank holidays always throw up some strange scores – this could be one of them.
    It wouldn’t surprise me if we saw something like:

    SP 3-0 Iron 60/1
    SP 1-5 Iron 50/1

    Iron H2H at Southport:
    P15 W2 D8 L5 GF22 GA31 GD-9 Pts14

    14 points from a potential 45.

    However the stats and history has it looking like it’ll be another draw.

    Southport 1-1 Iron 11/2

    If we’ve eaten too many Easter eggs then it could be worse:

    Southport 2-1 Iron 14/1

    I see Spennymoor paid for their efforts against The Iron losing 2-0 to South Shields. If memory serves this has happened plenty this season, Rene has time on his hands so maybe he can be bothered to check.

    I’ll have a check later.

    After supporting the club for many years and through the pandemic, we have been told our box next season will be going up from£3000 to £7000+vat,I don’t mind paying a cost of living rise or abut more to support my club but think this price rise is a little excessive,anyone else had notice of price rises, season ticket holders etc???

    Is your ‘box’ only available to use on game days/nights (12:00 to 18:00 ish?)
    Or, can you use it during the week too?

    Needs a strike partner and to man up and stop the amateur dramatics.
    He’d rattle in 35 a season at this level then.

    We’ve had too large a squads for many a year now.
    A 22 man squad at this level should suffice.
    We’d save a few quid if we had just the two first team coaches plus Muzzy instead of three plus Muzzy.

    Absolute rubbish.
    Denton is useless.
    Pugh is half the player he was at Hereford.
    Whom would you keep? Ogle?

    Drab game so far.
    A lack of passing accuracy from the Iron.
    Fitz needs telling that we are in Claret.
    Loads of corners – poor delivery on all of them.
    Kougan & Denton need to improve quickly in the game… I’d attack us down our left back area.
    Get DSF on, go three at the back.
    Clunan needs to play forward more.
    Butterfield can’t hit a barn door today.
    Ogle is doing ok.
    Scrappy game.
    Not confident.
    They’ll possibly grab a lucky goal against the run of play.
