Scunthorpe v Barrow Match thread

[Jonty]

my god watching that has put years on me i have seen better finishing in sunday league football it was frightening we had chance after chance against a really poor outfit down to ten men for long periods of the game and we nearly shot ourself in the footright at the end this 3points is like gold dust i am stressed out and of need of medical attention

[Fazered]

It’s the time of the season to get a result no matter how it is gained. This time last year under Kelly we were grinding out results and performances didn’t worry us.
Let’s get to the end of season in 22 nd place or above, then the inquiry into this awful season can start.

We don't need an inquiry. If we stay up or go down we need to start looking for a new manager now. We have had so many players, so many formations and some truly awful football. We got players who looked great and comfortable on the ball and after a couple of games they play like donkeys

[blumooncrab]

Should have been 6-0 . Some of the chances missed were just embarrassing. But we deserved to win, no doubt about it.

Need to win 3 more games at least.

Players put in the effort and that looked like our strongest 11 despite Beadling and Gordon sharing the same lobotomist : sorry guys but football is mental as well as physical. Rooney buy was a stroke of good luck - fortunately he seems to be settling in and the others are getting used to him .make sure we get him and Gotts forward more and on the ball otherwise we are still in big trouble.

It doesn’t matter how you get to the destination
As long as you get there - a scabby 1-0 win is worth as many points as a 6-0 win
I’ll take 3 more scabby 1-0’s all day long

Just so glad we got over the line, the Beadling sending off means White/Stevens will start against Carlisle, agree play Brough in his best position Glennon not up to it, we missed so many chances but a least we had some shots tonight, and Banks avoided a booking should be a great atmosphere on Saturday, we have more wins and points away from home we are due a win at home Saturday.

[Methuselah]

Like people have said,the team made hard work of what should have been an easy win.Beadling needs to grow up with the stupid fouls he commits.He could have easily have cost us the game.Mark Cooper should have taken him off after the first one.He is fast becoming a liability.If the only way you can beat somebody is to push them in the back in full view of the ref you don,t deserve to be on the pitch.Mark Cooper said tonight that he is gong to be fined,perhaps hitting in the pocket will make him wake up.
Rooney was fantastic tonight and without him we would probably be now looking at relegation.We need a lot of the other players too attack the opposition with the same determination.I am just hoping on Saturday we see more commitment and turn those near misses into goals.
Roll on Saturday here,s hoping for a win over Carlisle and onwards and upwards.

Beadling is being fined for his red card - Mark Cooper confirmed this in my post match interview.

Also said that he wanted to take him off but Beadling himself said he was going to tread a fine line so decided to keep things as is

Sorry Adam but that is weak management at its best and a total cop out. We could all see he needed to be withdrawn.

We won tonight and thank goodness but Cooper needs to step up to the plate and make the hard decisions when they need to be made and stop blaming everyone else.

[McMark]

Jeez added a few extra grey hairs tonight, but the big positive was we created nearly double figures in opportunities on target. Thankfully Rooney took his and we saw the game out.
Great vocals throughout from the choir but I nearly tripped over a molehill of bitten finger nail ends at full time. Was a late decision to go but glad I did, even though we went the scenic route via Harrogate’s ground then coming back because of roadworks via Bradford city
Thought Holloways hold up play was excellent shame he fluffed his lines in front of goal as he more than deserved one. Gordon was unlucky to be called offside by a very tight call. One or two nasty challenges definitely a red for their player and maybe another should of followed for a nasty challenge on Brough. Beadling being booked for intent was always walking a fine line and it looked a needless challenge to me that led to his sending off, others say he took one for the team as they were on the counter attack. Will have to watch replays to determine that one. Don’t see why Glennon get’s grief think he’s doing fine.
Going to bed happy with a very valuable three points in the bag. Who we playing Saturday again???

If you listen to Coopers interview he did blame himself for leaving Beadling on. He actually says “ my mistake”

[Hadrian]

Great 3 points was painful to watch but we got over the line and got some luck for a change with other results going our way now lets draw level with Carlisle on Saturday with a win

In fact, a win would put us above!

[blue blue boy]

Just watched it back again this morning which confirmed what I thought. How anyone can say that was poor is beyond me. They have played well- OK its frustrating that we haven't scored 4 but their keeper has had a great game and on another day and with a little more luck that would have been a rout!
Side note on the referee. Grant's red was nailed on, Beadlings second yellow was spot on but I am left scratching my head about his first, i have no idea how he has decided that is a booking.

[bhbb]

Not sure what the drama is about. Got the 3 points created chances for fun and Farman rarely tested, yes it’s frustrating when on another we could have had 5 but the end result is what mattered. To top it all off everyone down from 14th either lost or drew apart from us.

Ten cup finals left now, would be a good bet to say Scunthorpe are down now and Oldham have Exeter, Sutton and Mansfield for their next 3 games and then a very un envious fixture list playing the majority of the top ten. Will be tight but I think 3 wins from the last ten will get us another year in the football league
