    Sorry but that’s bollocks - it’s a crap excuse.

    It’s the same for every team that plays in less than perfect conditions in any division regardless of how tall a stand is ffs - part of the skill is being able to adapt to different scenarios such as home/away, hot/cold, wind/rain.

    You’ve never heard a team go down or miss out on promotion because of how the weather was on their matchdays.

    It was a poor game we can agree on that, but IMO even a FGR, Exeter or Swindon would have struggled in those conditions.
    Why is if a given that because they are playing a team at the bottom of league two we should be getting all 3 points our resent performances and points return suggest otherwise anyway i'ts all hypothetical.

    Well if you though yesterdays weather conditions were great for playing football "it's bollocks".
    It's far from an excuse but facts, the conditions were very poor, of course its the same for both teams I commented Scunthorpe bossed the first half and we bossed the second surely you understand why......then again maybe not doh.

    Where have I said different most of my replies in this thread I have posted exactly that, I've also said we could have been 2/3 down at half time yet we could have won the game with our second half dominance, but IMO for either side to have taken ll 3 points would have been harsh.
    So your agreeing with most of my comments, a rather strange post @Botswana Bantam@Botswana Bantam.

    It’s not a given and Scunthorpe have improved under Hill. I guess if we have any idea about making up the ground weve lost to the sides above us then we need to start converting these glut of draws into wins. No better than starting against the bottom of the league. We just don’t look likely to at present.

    When your opening comment is "Don't agree with your analysis" followed by "This conditions argument is just an excuse. Same for both teams" in reply to my original post, I say that's arguing/disagreeing wouldn't you ?
    Followed by " We could have been 2 down before or shortly after half time" when I have openly stated exactly that, may be my posts should be read on merit ?.
    You comment in your first reply, It wasn't a pen, Have a look at Bantams Lelant on twitter, it was my opinion at the time even posting "but the referee said he dived" I've still not seen a replay but at the time I thought it was a penalty from where I was stood it was just an opinion, maybe your reply should have been, Have a look at Bantams Lent video Bronc's it doesn't look a penalty, at the time it looked like you were arguing.

    That was not aimed at you but has been used in the sense that if we cant beat the likes of Scunthorpe were crap, yes yesterday would have been a good starting point, that was certainly one of the reasons I went, along with believing we could not be as bad as we were second half at Tranmere, but I'll stress again the weather had a big impact on the game each side playing with the wind at their backs dominating, Scunthorpe first half City the second.

    Slowed down you can see the Scunthorpe players arm go across Songo's chest.

    I suppose its where the foul was committed the Scunthorpe players arm across his chest original starts outside the box but he went down in the box, all water under the bridge the referee wasn't convinced.
    I couldn't bring the Sutton one to mind but yes that looked a more stone wall than Songo's @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart made that comment yesterday

    You're very argumentative and seem to enjoy getting into an argument! You carry on until you feel you've proved you're right.

    I get what Billy is saying, but for how long do you stick with underperforming players? I don’t think there were too many players released last season you can argue against, and I don’t believe that if you kept this squad for next season they would become champions.
    The likes of Liverpool can keep a settled squad offering multi year deals, at league two level imagine if we’d given Ismail, Eisa or DMH long deals? Short team deals are the way the world operates in league two.

    Hopefully we have someone in Adams who can recognise a decent player with the right qualities. In order to attract decent players we need to convince them that, some of the players already in the building are half decent. I can imagine most players gave us a wide berth over the last 2/3 seasons.

    Lol.... "I'm right and you're wrong", remind me, are you like 6 years old or something?

    I'm not trying to be right (or wrong) just expressing a view, you're the one seeking to "win", whatever that means.
