This is the last match of the season, no?

Maybe next year Donny would have a chance to promote in Championship but from what I saw, the club needs some good new players.

Correct, this is the final game and Scunthorpe are the club that in many folks' opinions are our longest and most traditional rivals - we have regularly been in the same division and the towns are not many miles apart.

With nothing to play for, the game could be quite boring but being a local derby adds something. Plus there are several ticket offers so there will be a decent crowd.

Despite the quiet end to our season in recent games, I am looking forward to this one.

Then let's hope to win for the honor of this club.

Theo not even on bench.

Lipsy · « **Reply #7 on** May 03, 2015, 11:34:34 am by Lipsy »

Yup, gotta conclude that he's going bye-byes. I can't say I am too upset about that*, and it may well also suggest that Bywater's time with us is coming to an end as well... mebbe.

*Assuming that we intend to bring someone in who can score goals and start games.

Well, to be fair to PD, he's intimated that there will be a 'night of the long knives' soon enough. Hopefully, this is an indication that he's weedling out the dead wood and replacing it with better.

It's sink or swim time for him, I reckon. I really hope that he makes good on his promises.

PD has to treat today as his cup final, local derby, finish the season on a win, and also back up that now is the time for change, he needs to show a big home crowd that he can achieve and display good football, especially after the boring performances in recent weeks.

Nothing less than a win here Mr Dickov, and a convincing and good performance included in that!!

Lipsy · « **Reply #11 on** May 03, 2015, 11:51:46 am by Lipsy »

Well, the SKitsons haven't beaten us at home since 1998 (I think), so it's a good game for us. Yeah, 20th best home form over the season and 23rd over the last six isn't going to get bums on seats - or instil faith in the manager. We really need a momentum-gaining win today.

Bit late for a momentum gaining performance and result but I share your thoughts and sentiments lipsy!

Lipsy · « **Reply #13 on** May 03, 2015, 12:03:02 pm by Lipsy »

Well, I am trying to be hopeful/positive. A win today and then some commanding performances in the pre-season friendlies, then.

still cant score at home takes an own goal lol

1st home game i have missed for 5 years that i could have made, shame but thats mainly down to expecting to get nothing at home.

Lipsy · « **Reply #19 on** May 03, 2015, 12:47:41 pm by Lipsy »

I was thinking much the same. Finally we have found someone who can score for us at home - sign him up!

Lipsy · « **Reply #24 on** May 03, 2015, 12:59:55 pm by Lipsy »

Well, let's cross out fingers and think of this as being the first game of the new season. Or summat.

Where's this home form been all season?!!

Lipsy · « **Reply #27 on** May 03, 2015, 01:26:20 pm by Lipsy »

Amazing, innit? Let's hope this is something we can continue. I have my doubts, but you can't knock it while the going's good.
