So what do we think today then.
No Nat Dog or Sendalls- White. Formation 4-4-2. Who will partner Turnbull ?
Hopefully Obeka is back and we will bounce back today.
Going for a 3 -1 win to the Town.

Presume Branco will partner Turnbull. Get Fridays game out of the system with a 2-0 win, Doughty and Branco

Scunny only one defeat in 11 games even though 6 of the last 7 have been draws....we have too many key players missing and we have only won there twice in 49 years the last being in 2006 when Ricky Shakes scored the winner.
I see a 2-0 defeat.

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

This is a vey poor league. As long as Scunthorpe didn't watch Fridays fiasco we could get a no score bore. Here's hoping.

Turnbull and Branco centre back pairing worries me significantly. Would happily take a draw. Please don't start all 3 of Thompson, Doughty and Rodgers!!
1-1 with Ajose to score a freekick.

This is a no pressure game. Looking forward to it for that alone.

I'd say there is a bit of pressure to get Friday's limp showing out of the system....we don't want a late season slump, a point would be very acceptable. |

One of my favourite away days was watching Simon Cox bag a sublime hattrick at Scunthorpe. A lack of leadership in the team today concerns me - think Branco is key; if he has a decent game then we have a chance of leaving with a point.
Sounds really pessimistic doesn't it? Just think we may be licking our wounds after the Good Friday Massacre (that's an Ice Hockey reference, no idea why it sprung to mind)
For your enjoyment as well:

Pre match fuelling in The Blue Bell.
Once classed as a PVC toxic hotspot, the town that is, not the pub.
Hoping for a positive reaction after Friday.
10th place would be a decent achievement this season,
with hopefully one or two of the youngsters given some game time before end of the season.
Given the weather and selection of real ales on offer, tempted to spend the rest of the day in the pub.

The good people of Scunthorpe, have a deadline coming up on the closure or otherwise of the steelworks. Things not looking good....as we know when we lost the Works, a town can lose its identity as a consequence of such an event. The FC, can help and Scunny do have plans for a new, new ground. The Old Show Ground, had Britain's first cantilever stand, as a reflection of Scunny's steel making heritage. |

The design of their new stadium looks impressive, with a nod to their steel making heritage. As you say, their situation is not dissimilar to that of our town when faced with the closure of its main industry. I'm assuming that they will look to expand on the existing food processing, distribution and retail industry already already in place. Still loads of iron ore in the ground around here, but possibly a very long time , if ever, before it becomes viable to extract it again. |

That's been the score on our last 2 visits, and we've conceded 3 in the last 3, but the Coxy hat-trick got us a point. More or less 31 years ago to the day we went there and got beat 6-2. Unusually Scunny had 6 different goalscorers....Lou got sacked as result, only for us fans to point out the Board hadn't a clue with a protest at the CG, and as they say the rest is history. |
