The Scunts look like they are going down but I really rate the manager Kieth Hill , after listening to him on Tuesday night on RH he is so full of optimism, if Paul Hurst does leave town for whatever reason (sacked) , Keith Hill would in my opinion be a great replacement when you consider his previous managerial experience coming to Town would be a step up for him .😀😀


I disagree, he made a right hash of it at Tranmere and he hasn't exactly set the world alight so far at Scunny has he? His post match interviews are entertaining I'll give you that, but that's from a town fans point of view. Not sure I'd like it as a Scunny player hearing the manager telling RH that we 'aren't good enough' that 'we need help' or that 'we should go into games knowing we've lost before kick off and relieve some pressure'.

Cox did a similar thing pre-season by putting up around the changing room and GP quotes of people writing Scunny off this year and saying how rubbish they were, didn't have the desired effect I don't think.

Hill is definitely in their with that flipping charlatans antics…it’s all funny when he’s not your manager but when he is it’s a ducking embarrassing moment…

Yeah same here. Possibly a bit more integrity but I guess time will tell if he stays put when they fall out of the league, inevitably.

He seemed to be throwing a few punches tonight about bringing in Keith Hill players and building something whilst also complaining about the embargo he knew about before taking the job.

Like ourselves though, if you kick around the bottom end of a division due to a continuous lack of investment it eventually catches up with you.

The issue in the case of Scunny isn’t really a lack of investment, but rather the opposite. They spunked the best part of £10m they didn’t have on the pipe dream of reaching the Championship with no contingency plan whatsoever.

They’re now having to deal with the same kind of austerity that killed Town in the years following the ITV Digital fiasco, except this is entirely of their own making.

They’re in a vicious, vicious circle now though and it’s going to take quite something to pull them out of it. They are up shít creek, and Peter Swann has taken ownership of their paddle…

Barrow and Colchester both winning tonight, not good news for the Scunts.

Scunny now 9 points adrift of safety as it stands.

Carlisle seem to have gone all in on our rejects so it's no surprise they are drawing towards the relegation zone.
