Scunthorpe United (H) F A Cup 1st Round Saturday 8/11/08.

[derbysaddler]

Tuesday was an embarrassement, I line should be drawn under it. Mullen's got to motivate that team to get a result and install some pride and confidence in the side again. Get 'em worked up, and play to the teams bloody strengths please.


Walsall 2 - 1 Scunthorpe

It really could be anything, could'nt it? However, we are on a downward spiral and we'll probably get beat.

2-1 Scunny in front of 3,000-ish.

My thoughts exactly

[SWS1]

Until I know Jimmy Muddle's team selection, I couldn't forecast a f--k in a brothel.
All I reckon is, we have the players to give Scunny a good game - win it even - but if they ain't picked by the "manager"...... :roll:

Ince
Taundry Gerrard Roberts Sansara
Deeney Hughes Mattis Palmer
Ricketts Ibehre

Why change a winning formula? Or - more pertinently - why drop the favourites for better players who challenge your managerial abilities?

So who is the Clown playing today ?

[gerryhatrick]

Mullen's favourites in the starting line-up again.

The seven on the bench look a far better proposition.

I despair.

[Jockey]

What a crap team selection.

Palmer and Taundry at full backs, the two of them ARENT full backs.

We may win but those two at full back....I give up.

[tape66]

No Weston or Demontagnac then ?

[King Crimson]

Anyone know the full line up? I'm presuming from the above post that another footballer (Boertien) has been dropped.

[Jolly Johnny]

No Weston or Demontagnac then ?

They are both on the bench as we have 7 available subs.

I'm just wondering where they are all going to sit as I'm sure there aren't 7 seats in the dugout!

I'm presuming one of Weston or Ishy will be asked to sit on the 'naughty seat' just to the side of the bench that Dicky used to love!! :lol:

[1933]

We may well go on to win this match but one does wonder why we are playing Taundry and Palmer as full-backs when Boertien and Weston are on the bench. Very strange. To me it is the same as putting Deeney and Nicholls up front and leaving Ricketts and Ibhere on the bench.

Don't post that, you might give him ideas.

Rest, as you'd expect.

[King Crimson]

Cheers gerry.

I should have gone.

With my boots. You never know. :idea:









You should have taken yours too. Once you'd let the dubbin soak in. :mrgreen:

[tape66]

Rickets, get in :D

:? :? :?

[gerryhatrick]

With the amount of applause for that goal, you'd think there were only around twenty home fans.

[King Crimson]

Yes!

[Welsh_Saddler]

Something's gone radically wrong - we've scored.........

worryingly, neither do I.

[Welsh_Saddler]

I know it's the wrong thread, but I can't resist - after 68 minutes the Sloppies are making a comeback - it's now:

Blyth Spartans 3 Shrewsbury Town 1 :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Welsh_Saddler]

Ricketts booked...

me neither! They announced it on 5 live and I just carried on with what I was doing as if it was just another latest score. Then after about 25 seconds I said to myself, "well I suppose I should give that a little whoop"!! :lol:

[loop]

I love to hear the Saddlers score !!! I don't think that feeling will ever go away for me...

[Welsh_Saddler]

Forgive what may be a silly question, but is the Scunthorpe goalkeeper )Joe Murphy) THE Joe Murphy ???
