Scunthorpe (H) Match Thread

Southend only drew.

Bad news that Lincoln scored 4 away and go joint top on points, with a game in hand.

Happy with the 3 points but never expected scunts to be that poor , did macca have a save to make , we will finish above them in table no doubt about it , definatly the poorest all round team i'v seen this season

Just had a look at the Iron Bru match thread, all two pages of it.

One comment was 'typical Holloway destructive football of the worst kind'. Another said they had gone down to our level.  

My take is that we were poor, but they were worse. We scored, they didn't create a thing. Not much else to say really.

We weren't great with the ball but that's our best performance without the ball this season..

That isn’t bad news at all. I do not like Lincoln, but all power to them. They’re showing us the way. If (and that’s a big if) we get the right leadership and investment, we can do what they have done with f#cking bells on.

Hard fought win. COD was right that we wanted it more.  

Fenty out!!!!

Thankful for the win. Very poor game. I don’t usually single players out for criticism but Clifton should not be in the team. You can work hard all you like but this lad is not very good at all.

I’m sorry but u watched a different match to me. Clifton  covered every blade of grass and had the engine to still be getting up and down the pitch for 90 minutes. First half in particular he was our best player by far. They got nothing thru central midfield all game. I get frustrated with Clifton over misplaced passes as we all do but today he was vitally important to our win.

Awful from a footballing POV but I really enjoyed it! Proper battling performance showing the manager and the players care - great reaction at the goal and at the end.

Agree about Hewitt, more mobile and athletic than Waterfall, and also reads the game better imho. Would be happy to see him there again, although the quality of today’s oppo is an obvious caveat!

Spokes surprised me based on his previous performances and he was much more forward thinking than Taylor, moving the ball more quickly too. He could come good.

Up front we still need someone with real experience but I think Jackson and Gibson did okay. It’s a huge step up for both of them and they’re having to perform in a team that isn’t offering them much in the way of chances.

More than happy to see the same type of performance in the next game if it leads to picking up points.

Signing a forward from Norwich?
