Scunthorpe (A)

[tomski]

I’ll do same post again. 
 

any win and we are better than Salford even in our darkest hour.

[Popeye doyle]

Scunny have picked up 7 points from their last 3 ganmes.

Draw 1-1.

[snowball]

we usually get nowt there. going for a draw. think they will be top half side at least by end of season so not buying its a must win but hoping to be proved wrong

[Rudy]

If we want to move up the table we need to be winning these games. Table doesn’t lie, these men love a draw so it’ll be a tight game 

[radcliffe white]

Yes a win let’s keep it going

[Mounts Kipper]

Tricky to predict this one as they are really good then piss poor, we look like were in a good place at the moment, but I will take a draw.

Arguably the table does lie if you play the first 10 games with a non league goalkeeper and then you change it.

Don’t know why you shoehorned the word “league” into that sentence. Spurious at best and says much the same without.

Proof then that it doesn't lie. Shit keeper meant shit defending and goals conceded. Therefore deserved results.

All teams aim to improve and that means changing players from time to time. We just took too long to do it.

It should also be borne in mind that our defenders were also all over the place, midfield was largely ineffective and strikes devoid of service.

It wasn't shoe horned.  My feeling is he's a non league keeper, and that's not meant in a derogatory way, its just the standard I would put him at - Chorley etc.  Similar with White and Greenidge but probably 1 division higher - but seen much less of them.  I wouldn't say Crellin is a "non keeper", but putting him in an EFL team is clearly going to make that team worse than they should be.

I just meant that we were a bottom 6 side in the first 10 games, yes deservedly.  But the team that Salford, Stevenage and Scunthorpe are playing isn't, in my opinion, even a bottom half side because changes have been made.  Yes the club deserves to be bottom half overall, but hopefully the 11/14 players we are putting on the pitch from now isn't one of the worst teams in this league.  The table doesn't tell the whole story.

That’s literally proving my point

Not sure you can judge the standard of a keeper like you can outfield players mate,I mean if he can't catch a ball , doesn't command his area or organize and talk to his defenders and lacks confidence, he's going to concede shed loads in Sunday league football.

[Breightmet Boy]

A few of their fans on Twitter ain’t happy about the team they’ve picked.  If we play like we have been we’ve got a chance of taking this game by the horns.  COYFWM

[Dimron]

Do you think we can take a game by the horns?

[FrancisFogarty]

Recently we've been taking a game by the horns, but we still struggle to either kill opposition off, or at least keep teams on the horns.

A good early start tonight and I think we're on for another three points.

[emus wig]

I was confident on Saturday not tonight don’t know why . 

[bwfc2003]

Why do Bolton FM bother with a poll on the result - 38 votes tonight!!!!

[MancWanderer]

I’ll take that unchanged team

On a roll with another win

[little whitt]

EFA

if it wasn't for ifollow only those 38 folk would be listening (unless GMR were doing a different game)

[Eddie]

Looked like a pen on Doyle. Great start, could do with an early goal to make the most of it
