CastIron - Episode 3

CastIron Podcast

CastIron is back for Episode 3! In this episode we welcome a fourth co-host, Nicola to the podcast to discuss all things Iron. We look back over the two fixtures played since episode 2 (Bournemouth in League 1 and AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup) and look forward to the three matches coming in the next two weeks; Hartlepool and Notts County in the league and the FA Cup replay against AFC Wimbledon - including giving our predictions on the results for each. Some interesting opinions are raised about the fairly recent change by the Football League limiting sides to naming 5 substitutes instead of the previous 7 - in particular whether this prevents youth players at Scunthorpe getting their chance. We also discuss the recent annual report and chairman's statement, in particular the club making a £1.4million profit and whether this could have been spent to fight relegation from the Championship last season. Finally, we discuss comments earlier this week from on-loan forward Nicky Ajose regarding fans being quick to be negative.
