Match Thread Away v Scunthorpe Sat Nov 27th @3.00pm

They both Clarke and bowyer questioned our tactics.

 

That's the problem....

A point in those conditions is somewhat understandable

Losing to Tranmere when 3 players go off injured is somewhat understandable

But when the team and manager have lost all the goodwill with draw after draw of dreary risk averse footy that others have put down to "a good point against a team high in the table" then there aren't many places to hide unfortunately. They just seemingly can't buy a win.

 

The season won’t finish anyway once the Omicron virus let’s rip.

 

This is the second away game where I haven't listened to the commentary only looking at BBC for updates.

Sounds like another defensive lapse has costs us and Eisa goes off injured.

These draws will keep us in the division for another season.

 

yes, him and Bower have laid into the squad and manager these last few games and its been refreshing to hear that its not only us supporters who are honest to admit its not good enough.

 

Treading water until the inevitable relegation to National league. You can’t operate in league 2 with a 1 million pound deficit before a ball is kicked and still be competitive unless the owner is pumping money in, which he isn’t.

 

Brought down due to a 50/50 shoulder barge. Went down too easy. He wouldn’t have gone down like that if it had happened in the centre circle. He played well today. Once again I’m drawn back to Akpan comparisons. This was “His Burton”.

 

No evidence at all that this strain can bypass the vaccine. Just hearsay based on south Africa having a 24% vaccinated rate.

They say this variation has more spikes, but the spikes are what the vaccines attack, so in theory the vaccine could be more effective against it.

 

Of course you can with 13,000 season ticket holders.

13000 ‘cheap’ season tickets? And how many of them are full paying adults.

Got to say if the club continues to dish up this dirge on the pitch they certainly wont be getting anywhere near 10,000 ST next season.

The take me home campaign was right-the new manager seemed right-we even asked to increase ST prices alongside a season where anything other than promotion would be a failure.

I was very engaged and up for it.

Skip forward a few months and I cannot recall the last time I felt this disinterested in the club. Bitterly disappointed with a manager who is asked a question and answers a different one. He should join the SNP.

They are campaigning to get 20K for the boxing day game-carry on like this and it wont be half of that.

If it was on the line its a penalty.

Anything past the very outer edge of the penalty box lines is deemed inside the area.

 

From the TV gantry it would certainly have been a better view, and the referee was certainly nearer, he did let a lot go that last season would have been blown up as a foul.

 

A guy came and sat next to me ( because our fans were fighting one another) I said with the wind it would be a very different situation second half which it was the conditions were terrible, ROD found touch several times with his kicking the fans behind giving him stick yet exactly the same happend when the Scunthorpe keeper kicked long.
Disappointing we couldn't get all 3 points I'd think the Scunthorpe fans would say the same they were certainly hanging on at the end but that was IMO more to do with the conditions rather than our performance.

 

I did say the referee let a lot of the more physical stuff go that referees would have blown up for last season, obviously he saw it as you say.

 

I am seriously fed up with listening to Adam’s drivel about us being better side, not taking chances etc….. YOUR FOOTBALL IS SHITE. Try attacking once in a while maybe you will get some fans back onside, however bad we have been this is the first time I am seriously not bothered if I have to miss a game for any reason as we are not worth watching under this regime, the football is dreadful and with every passing interview Adam’s sounds more and more deluded as to what he is watching. If the players have no heart it’s your job to change it and put a rocket up them not just continually trot out the same garbage after every game!!!!

 

Thanks Dave for the update mighty Lxxxs drew as well playing down South.
