Matt Dean interview

bbc.in/49JE8QO


According to this, he has 3 players back from illness. Vernam is still out as are Maher and Glennon having been involved in the accident on the M62. Hopefully, he means at least Pyke, Thompson and Gnahoua will be back.

He didn't inspire me with confidence in both interviews and went over the top praising the fans. The fans know how good they are and how patient they have been at home games. Saturday is a true 6 pointer in anybody's books but he spoke little if anything about that.

He spoke of a 7,000 gate at BP but I think in reality it will not be more than 6,000 if we are lucky. The Donny gate was 7424 and Donny brought 1158, meaning the Town fans were only 6266. Given the bad performance against Donny, on top of those other dreadful home games, many ST may stay at home; also FGR will not bring as many as Donny.

What we need is a full house rocking but it is up to the players to put in performances at home to draw the fans in. Anything less than a win and JS should deliver Artells P 45 after the game. We need to be a L2 club next season, sentiments are out of the window and it's now a case of only results mattering.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

i think he knows he needs a result, but fair play to him, he didnt shy away from any questions. For all our sakes, 3 points would be so welcome

The questions from the club's own media person are always a bit bottom licking.

If we play under closed doors then we will have a very tight defence.   Very little will get through (for a change).

Had to overestimate the importance of Saturday's game. In January 2021 we lost 3-1 at Scunthorpe. At the end of the season they finished 5 points ahead of us. Had we won that game, all other results being unchanged, they would have gone down instead of us. So these games really are six pointers.

I am not convinced by the argument that a draw would be an ok result. We need to win this. A six point gap over FGR, plus better goal difference and two games in hand gives us a real edge. In my opinion, if we stay ahead of FGR we stay up.

Think it was the in-house interviewer who suggested ticket sales were approaching 7000 so maybe DA was just regurgitating that info when he spoke to Matt Dean.
