I would have put susa and piero on together and played Mangan from the start. We allowed a worse team to drag us down to their level. We should have won that game as this is where we need to be picking up points in this league. We are holding our own so far I am at a loss with our tactics at times and our substitution policy. but so far so good

I appreciate Cashman’s honesty and point of view
And for anyone who doesn’t like such honesty, Cashman will be the first to hope Zanzala proves him wrong and becomes a top player moving on to a big club on a big fee (after he scores 30 in the league and gets Stanley into the championship).

Zanzala played quite well for me and he is worth persevering with but he should have scored a couple of goals yesterday.

Hope this helps Dav!But you will have to work out mys system!
By the way Stanley SHOULD have won 6 - 0!
Your better than this
Zanzala unlucky not to score against the irons .From bit parts last season to be given the main strikers job might have been a bit to much for the young lad he tried and gave 100% . may be A Mangan a long side him from the start might have carried a lot of the work load. KTF
Mangans been a round a bit and is only Experienced league striker we have a part from BillyDefinitely needed someone up front with him - jury's still out on whether Mangan is the answer though
zanzala was poor on saturday but so were windass and crooks when they started with us and do not forget how poor sean was when he came back. not writing him off just yet but i certainly have my doubts about him.
That is very true, But to me Stanley were not in the best shape back then, i was hoping perhaps we had moved forward a bit since.
I have doubts about Zanzala but the only way to tell is give him a few games IMHO.
(I believe Malik Wilkes is on fire and he attracted similar negative comments last year.)
In any event, we have indisputably played better with him in the team instead of Billy.... or should i say in the home games so far (I have not been away yet). Billy might score more but if that's at the cost to the team then I can't see it being detrimental overall for Zanzala to have a decent run. We need Finley, Brown and Seamus all playing.

Have just read Billy Kee has been nominated for League 2 player of the year for last season, so yeh must be.How the hell can scoring regular be at a cost to any team? are yeh on Drugs?
I try and take positives out of any game even when we lose and there was plenty to be pleased about Saturday Scunthorpe are now a well established league 1 side and last couple of seasons have been knocking around the top end of the table. Coley has assembled a big squad this season and it takes time for players to gel including young Zanzala who looks keen and willing to learn at times in the first half we were unplayable and should have been at least 2 or more in front Clark missing 2 good chances but he isn't labelled not good enough at this level keep playing like that and find our best 18 and we'll win more than we lose.
Can’t be bothered to look at the stats but suppose Kee gets 15 goals from open play a season and Zanzala gets, say, 10. Those 5 goals make a difference but not as much a difference as a Stanley team playing as well as they did on Saturday all season versus the team that struggled v gillingham.
In any case, it’s about the enjoyment factor too. Kee winning free kicks from shoves from behind to advance forward versus joyful pace and passing from the team.

So it was all Billy's fault that the team struggled against Gillingham was it?? Get a grip - I don't see how you can base your theory that the team play better without him on the one game that he hasn't played in
