Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Away V Scunthorpe - Tuesday 23 March@ 7pm

Tbf it’s just Derby kids, I fully expected Chorley to win their wins over Wigan and Peterborough were far more impressive. Just shows how important it is for kids to get men’s football instead of sat in academies until early 20’s, ala Jamie Vardy.

 

Totally tinpot. You can bet if it was a cup match v spurs they would have got it on.

 

The pitch has never seen a cover overnight everyone in the world knew it was going to freeze last night.

I'll go one further and say that they have done their best to ensure the game is called off absolutely tin pot everyone knew it was going to freeze last night. Injuries, poor form and players coming in not up to speed nothing can be done now but the FA should be questioning what they have done to ensure the game goes ahead.

 

If Scunny couldn't get the initial game on, just because of slightly sub-zero temperatures, no way is this going to be on.

 

Call it off

 

This is just silly now.

 

Lets hope either side don't get someone seriously injured trying to play in these conditions.

 

Have play off final elsewhere-Old Trafford etc-anything is possible these days-look at some of the times games are starting.

 

Most ridiculous thing I've read. Either they both should count or neither should.

 

Recent talk of playoffs was bonkers in my opinion. We need to concentrate on pulling clear of the drop zone first.

The bottom 3 seem to be getting marooned now, but as you say, defeat against Salford, which is likely, could see us too close to the bottom 2 again.

Be just glad when this awful season is over and we have preserved our football league membership, and then we can plan for a promotion push next season hopefully.

Dont like the current situation with interim manager. We should either offer them the job permanently now, or be honest and say that we have someone lined up to be appointed in the summer and T&S will continue as interim managers until then. Too much uncertainty for my liking

 

Totally agree and I think we’ve agreed from the start that we need a larger sample size before committing to any long term contracts. I’m a bit worried tbh, as their first 3 games were far better than the most recent 3 or 4 and I’m wondering if it’s due to the worldy goals we were scoring then drying up, although I’m sure a few will make excuses. I’ve said it all along they’ve done great to get us the points we have, but other than making us hard to beat by playing one up top and having plenty behind the ball I’m not sure how we’ve improved. We still have less chances than the majority of opposition and eventually that starts to tell as I’m worried we are beginning to see.

We have some difficult fixtures coming up and if we don’t improve I can see us losing them all, if results go against us on top of that we could be right back in trouble.

I just hope we can improve our performances because the warning signs are starting to show. February will tell us far more about this duo so any decision on their futures should be in March at the earliest.

 

I'm not sure if we tried, but the lack of a new central midfield player was the negative aspect of the January window for me. Let's hope this will rectified in the summer when we continue the rebuilding of the squad good enough to challenge for promotion next season

 

But City are not creating chances for the lone striker, doesn't matter how many we play up top if that doesn't change.
Vernam and Crankshaw, Evans and Clarke are giving us very little at the moment.
Wood and AOC occasionally bomb forward but are clueless on how to find their man or at least put a cross into the box.
Watt and Sutton are jaded but have done very well to stay fit week in week out.
If the managers are happy with this then good luck to 'em- i cant watch this every week on i-follow, dire stuff even when we beat mansfield or drew with bolton.

 

Really? Two lower league journey men and most clubs would bite their hands off? If we were talking the likes of Wyke, Vaughan or Doyle I'd kinda get it.

 

Rowe as a lone man is not the answer. If we continue as such, we will not attain our goal of promotion next season. No other goal for next season. Promotion. Anything less will be a failure

 

Yet the majority of fans were saying what a good January transfer window we had, without doubt losing Cooke has made us weaker in midfield but surely our football management team should be able to get a formation that can get results with the squad we have.

 

Delighted for Scales and hope he does well,
