I don’t know what went off there. Anyway, in regards to this dodgy formation Cox is playing….why didn’t he just go 4/4/2 and give Mooney a go up there ?
As Mick stated, it was very interesting that Cox mentioned that he wants Turan and Loft up front and McAtee didn’t get a mention. Cox also when asked about McAttee a while ago in regards to attacking options he said that he CAN player there, meaning that he’s better elsewhere but can do a job there.
What I’m dreading is, is that Cox may opt for a 4/3/1/2 or a 4/1/2/1/2 to accommodate McAtee as an attacking midfielder.
Cox only said he wanted Turan and loft upfront and to play attacking football, he never mentioned 4/4/2 specifically.
I hope he doesn’t go down that route and sticks to his word because if he doesn’t my heart will sink. I can’t cope with another manager putting us trough that shite again.
We’ve seen it already, as soon as you go down that route you may as well kiss goodbye to your wingers and width,…it throws everything off kilter.
Anybody know how Jai Rowe is doing ?.
Hornshaw is trying his best but he’s no RB and never will be. I know Clarke is back in training but you can’t rely on him getting back and lasting the season.
As Mick stated, Cox said he wants Turan and Loft upfront so we may get 4/4/2 next week.
I can kind of understand C
I’ve always had a soft spot for Barwick. Definitely not a Cod Fan.
I would say easily the worst midfielder we’ve had in my lifetime.
I know, which is why I’ve always favoured a picture of him…he’s the midfield equivalent of Tomi Ameobi.

Ironironiron, I would just like to know where certain players are and what they’re doing. When you sign a new player and he’s not featured, that’s up to the club to tell the fans what’s going on…is it not ?
Is it too much to expect a club to communicate with it’s fans ?
You may not care because you have Grimsby Town to fall back on as your 2nd team but I don’t have that luxury.
I’d rather not go down that sordid road.
Barton, you’re looking too much into this probably. I did however question why Cox didn’t stick Mooney on and go with 2 upfront when we couldn’t get out from our half.
I thought that was a little suspect but he probably wanted to try that formation and wanted people to be run into the ground to get minutes into them.
Dales went off with a dead leg as a precaution but gree got Poleaxed, I hope he’s ok and nothing serious happened with him.
I thought he looked good. I wouldn’t have minded him upfront with Loft on saturday but doubt he’ll be fit now.
Yes, he came on 2nd half.
Onaraise is back jogging/running already. I saw him in a training pic earlier in the week. I think he’s back when Clarke’s due back, about a week from the Lincoln game.
Cox said Hippolyte will play some part “who knows how big” against Lincoln, as Mick said, it’s a case of getting him up to speed. McGahey is supposed to be back as well against Lincoln with Clarke a week later.
Beestin could be the one was tested positive who McAtee was in the car with, who knows ?
May even could have been Turan but it’s all a bit of a mystery, not sure anybody knows what’s going on.
I did think it could have been lack of international clearance why Turan didn’t feature….somebody at the club needs to come out and clear this stuff up because everybody at the minute are guessing.
I hope Clarke makes his way back pretty sharpish. Would it be worth signing a short team loan player to cover the gap ?
While I stated that I hope Clarke makes his way back sharpish, you also on the other hand rush him back at your peril.
Hornshaw will have to keep plodding on at RB then for the time being. I’d stick O’Malley in at LB though to see how he get’s on.
Who would you go for upfront SST, presuming Loft is rested ?
One thing is for certain, Colclough can’t ever find himself there again. I don’t think Cox would have been too happy with him, he was sulking until he was moved out wide.
I’d like Green and maybe Mooney/Turan to get a shot against Lincoln. Dales will probably get a run out as well.
Any of you know if we have received international clearance yet to play Turan ?
Rubbishiron, that study was done by HRSA…The Health Resources and Services Administration for those who don’t know. They’re an agency of the U.S. Department of Health, not some mickey mouse organisation that have plucked that compensation money from thin air.
I’ll ask again…
By the way that compensation amount didn’t include any legal fee’s, if you read online from many official sources that 4.1 billion jumps to anywhere between 6-7 billion when taking that into consideration.
Do you think them handing out 4.1 billion dollars in compensation money due to complications some people have suffered give people a reasonable reason to question vaccines ?
No more bluff and bluster, simple yes or no ?
watson 6.0
Butroid 5
Bedeau 6
Cordner 7.5
Hornshaw 6Eisa 7.5
Spence 6.0
Vincent 8
Gillead 6.5Loft 7.5
Colclough when upfront a 4 but while out wide 7Subs never made any impact really.
Colclough was pretty much a passenger when playing upfront and went in a mardy before being switched to the wing. Bedeau looked a bit iffy at times, I suspect he’ll make way for McGahey once he’s fit. Cordner keeps that level up and I can’t see him being dislodged that easily.
I’d stick Rowe at RB and O’Malley LB against Lincoln to see how they get one.
Loft looked really good today, really impressed with him but needs an out and out striker up there with him to feed off the scraps. I’d give green a go upfront against Lincoln with Jarvis, duran-Turan or young Mooney alongside him and save loft for the league.
I actually think the best striker in playing style for loft would be Olomola…he’d probably work fine with him, shame he’s out for the next few months.
We need to see what the other strikers offer, against lincoln would be an ideal time to have a look. Eisa needs to be out wide.
Question is though, who get’s dropped ?. Will Gillead make way for Colclough or will Colclough be the one that’s benched ?
Gillead I suppose could play CM but we saw him for spells last season in there and he was too light weight.
Bloodyrubbish, not attempting to “teach” anybody anything, it’s called a difference of a opinion. Instead of getting your panties in a twist, just accept it for what it is.
People may think I’m completely crazy and that’s fine, I wasn’t expecting anybody to agree.
It’s this ridiculous mindset which stops people coming out and saying what they feel/think. This is why everybody nowadays feeling like they’re constantly treading on egg shells.
However ridiculous you deem an opinion, it is only that, an opinion. Freedom of speech and all that jazz.
By the way, before you start shooting down people with a difference of opinion by branding them conspiracy theorists.
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program which was set up in 10/01/1988..from that date to 5/01/2019 “couldn’t find a more recent study” they have shelled out $4.1 billion. So, before you start berating people who campaign about the potential dangers…look into it. I personally think they have decent ground to do so.
If you want it down in writing, I’ll even copy and paste the study by the HRSA.
As the quote goes….
“Opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one and everyone thinks everyone else’s stinks.”
Holloway by all accounts said he failed to make the grade and had his trial terminated, whether he’s saying that trying to save face because he chose us over them is anybody’s guess.
Stampy, those fabric face coverings are dog mess.
Yes, that was one of my trademark flippant comments.
Basically What I mean is that the virus won’t go away or even become less virulent just because you want to go to the football. So you’ll need to wait for the green light from the club.
No amount of “get back out there!” or “let’s be ‘aving you!” Can change that.
That goes without saying, if you obviously turn up with no permission, they aren’t going to let you in are they ?
I wasn’t implying breaking down the doors at GP and bunkering down in the ground !
For all the people saying we have a lot of strikers on the book, you’re right but Cox in his interview the other day said that Jarvis and Mooney will have to come into the fold earlier and expected which means the pair of those are projects to bed them down first.
Take Van Veen and Olomola out the reckoning for the time being and we have Green, Duran-Turan, Loft and McAttee with Mooney and Jarvis on the back burner to get them up to speed and see how they cope.
I can certainly see one or two going out once Van Veen and Olomola are back though. McAttee will probably be flogged off as he’s in his last year and maybe Olomola will be loaned out.
For the time being though 4 deemed ready for first team with Mooney and Jarvis in the background is handy.
Now, we live in hope that the options are of a decent enough standard to offer the required competition.
I said this before but a Luton fan said even though they didn’t see a lot of him said if we give him chances he’ll score at this level…he was pretty confident.
I know when Jarvis was at Luton he scored a few in cup football but just couldn’t get regular games due to how strong their front line was at the time.
Reading a few messages from Luton fans though, they rated him pretty highly when he was there..they thought he was a decent enough player.
This german fella is a little more dodgy on paper, scored 2 in 11 for Weston Super Mare but you never know, he could settle here and transform his career.
Put it this way, you want to be hoping some of these players come to the fore as we have a hell of a lot of unknown quantities.
As people keep saying “we need these turds to be polished up”.
BigLeftToe, if I was you I’d back all the players, even the one’s which are crap on paper. By all means if they’re dog mess after 10+ games, take pot shots but for the time being..just support them.
These questionable players are they one’s we’ll need to come good !
Remember that
Max reminds me of those ankle biting dogs….those yappy irritating little things that don’t shut up.
If you weren’t aware, there was a mass gathering in London, looked to be around 1,000 protesting against the face coverings. People are starting to get a bit pissed off now, can’t really blame people really, the face coverings do naff all.
The only masks to are effective are those carbon filter ones which properly filtrate the air. Wearing a normal dust/face mask is more harmful, less oxygen and more breathing your own breath/carbon dioxide is downright daft.
I’m not saying we all go out, have street parties and be packed like sardines in a tin but fans at our ground should be fine, 9,000 capacity ground and we only get around 2-2500 people anyway.
I agree with awaywego in a sense, things should start moving forward now…it’s dragging a little too long for my liking. People drop like flies of common flu every year, the world doesn’t come to a screeching halt.
I say the authorities should give green light to fans of all sports *governed sensibly* and get the ball rolling. Why deprive the fine people of Scunthorpe a chance to see them romp to winning the league this season.
In the fine words of Delia Smith….
LET’S BE AVINNNNNN YOU !
I think you and awaywego should meet *both wearing face coverings* and have a dust up…settle it the old fashioned way.
Gillead left footed?
They look similar, Gillead and Eisa…. I got confused.
According to Cox the other day, we’re after an experienced utility players who can play across the back and midfield so we’ll be after at least one more.
The other day we signed Hypolyte..McAtee didn’t play so I wonder if we was brought in because he’s going out ?
On paper anyway it offers more balance because we only had 1 left footed winger in Gillead…we have a decent mix of wide men now.
Ideally I would like a GK but it’s been done to death, I think we’ve all come to terms with Swann not wanting to sign one !
McGahey has been back in training and Onariase won’t be too long. I’d rather have a RB in case Clarke never get’s back.
We desperately need a striker too.
I agree Mick, he got 60+ minutes..enough to see what he’s about.
That’s what Cox said, an experienced player who can play CM and across back. I heard his interview yesterday on twitter. The trialist striker is playing today with Eisa upfront. Hornshaw is playing in CM and going by what Cox said yesterday he really rates him.
Cox likes Hornshaw at RB as well so expect to see a fair bit of him this season.
Going by updates via scunny account on twitter Dales is getting stuck in…. Just as I say this, Watford have just scored but not doing too badly.
Is he the utility player that was mentioned??anyway another positive attack minded signing,any names on the trialist
No the utility player Cox said was an experienced player who could play in midfield and across the back. The striker mentioned yesterday was somebody we we’re taking on trial, who’s supposed to be playing today so he’s obviously not him either.
This will mean either Eisa, Colclough or Gillead are soon to be out the door. This player is strictly a winger.
According to Cox, we have 1 striker playing tomorrow on trial. We’re looking to sign a utility player with experience and maybe another striker if we can.
I don’t know about the trialist we had the other day though, been quiet on that front so assuming he’s already gone.
Smudger, Mike White said 1, MAYBE 2…we’ll have to wait and see on that front.
Why don’t you get in contact with him 99% and see if you can help him out in some way ?
You never know, with your help you may end up toppling Swannster !
