Match Thread: FLC R1 Scunthorpe U v Port Vale

Still, as long as they don't smash up anything indoors.

I can imagine Stoke fans streaming the game at home, smashing up their own bathrooms.

A room that is completely redundant in any stoke fans house

And the first 500 paying us for the privilege. Works for me.

Great moment after the goal of you watch the highlights.

Wozza makes a bee line for Rodney to congratulate him on his part and then after the huddle you can see him coaching and pointing things out. Excellent.

I havent read all this thread yet on the game as i wanted to give my view without influence 🙂 firstly i thought cullen was poor and showed that when he is fit thats why Robinson will be first choice(although i also think cullen was lacking fitness),Mills i thought had a good game and if Conlon carries on how he has started(also how he finished last season) i can see him leaving for a fee at some point(far better playing further forward),Joyce i thought was cracking never really wasted a ball,we would be lost without him. Rodney will be some player in time hence the 3yr deal.

I also thought Whitehead did well when he came on and lets look at Worrall,2 excellent crosses for the goals and who else would of ran to get the ball and take the throw on 93 minutes,get the ball and ping in a cracking cross.....love wozzer i do

Just noticed that with the next 2 rounds coming up very soon we will be in the last 8 by the time crowds are allowed back. !!!🙂

I thought Eisa for them was excellent,very dangerous i am surprised he is still there tbh

The weak bench?

Thanks for the advice, I think my curt reply stemmed from your constant negativity. I will try harder in the future.

Yes. I thought given the players we have the bench looked weak ( having hurst and tricket smith on there). There’s definitely a place for another signing. Why do certain posters think an observation is negatively every time?? Already posted it was a great win and a real improvement to see us scoring st the end of halves rather than the opponent. There’s an ignore button if you don’t like this apparent constant negativity.

Similar to what I thought. For me Joyce bossed the game and I was very inoresssed with Conlon. If he can be consistent he could be a massive player. Good got Robinson to come on and get a poachers goal straight away, should do his confidence the world of good. Like you, I think he will start when Match fit. 

Only player I thought struggled was Fitzpatrick. Mills was struggled a little as well but we were against a side in the league above with a quality winger. 

Very good un vale like win which bodes really well for the season. 

Be nice to have amoo back and another winger to have a real threat from the bench.

Scunthorpe are in our league. I suppose it doesn’t matter how we get through in the cup as long as we win, and of course there were some positives in yesterday’s game. Conlon and Joyce in particular.  In regards to the bench let’s not forget that we were missing Monty, Gibbo, Amoo, Manny and Pope. All players who could be starting and even though we won yesterday I’d still say some of those should be in the starting 11.

Scunthorpe are League 2 and finished i think it was 20th last season

Prior form? A repeated history?

Those missing from the squad who would get in the team or on the bench just shows how much stronger the squad is,add another signing to that there are going be some decent players left out of our coming squads which isnt a bad thing

Oh thought they stayed up! Never mind. Still a strong win that they’ve still got some very decent players. Yeah good point about the bench, makes sense it looked the way it did.
