Thought today was a microcosm of Jimmy’s failures for us this year; failed to respond what was happening on the field and too rigid with tactics, for too long.

Very strange to sit so deep and allow Boston to play through us, were we worried about pace ? The subs arrived 10 minutes too late, we were far more direct with 2 up top. Midfield looked disjointed as it has for large portions this year, it may seem harsh given our points total, but there has been warning signs all year against the better sides.

Ultimately you can spin it how you wish, unfortunately I can’t get over the fact we have spent 3 times (possibly more) than anyone else. That is a failure.

I thank Jimmy for his efforts with us if he were to leave, he’s really tried to change the culture at this football club which has been toxic for a number of years. He’s clearly passionate and loved being the manager of Scunthorpe as if it were one of us in the hot seat. But IMO we need someone with more tactical nous, there will be a reduced budget next year as we all know, if we have failed to achieve promotion this year then I see it highly unlikely Jimmy will achieve this aim with significantly less cash at his disposal.

Hard to disagree with any of this.

Outside looking in finishing second and calling for the managers head would look insane. But with the cost of this squad and players it is nothing but a failure.

The second half of the season has been abysmal and left us questioning if we would even finish second.

At the start of the season we were free flowing, confident and playing good stuff. The reason we were not playing like that consistently through out th season is down to one man.

He is not the man. Should be walking this division with this squad. Totally sucked the confidence from the players over the season with the way he set the team up.

Any competent manager would have had this squad promoted

He was abysmal. You could see he wasn’t confident stepping up. The fact he was in the first five to take a penalty tells you everything you need to know about Jimmy. Clueless.
