Northampton post match reflections

[avondalemiller]

A first half I want to forget. We couldn't string a couple of passes most of the half. Nombe is up front on his own with Gray nowhere to be seen at times sitting too deep. McWilliams wow, what a stinker he was having though to be fair he did improve slightly in the second half. Kalete, well enough said.

The tactical change by Hamshaw putting Gray out wide on the right in the second half served a treat, well done Hammy. They simply couldn't cope with him and the way he took his goal was excellent. That gave us the spark to press on and attack. Gore back to his busy busy self, Powell excellent corners tonight bar one and he ran himself into the ground. Rafferty had a great game too and was very unlucky not to score with the keeper having no idea where the ball was as it rebounded off his feet.


A big big shout out has to go to Nombe as he ran his blood to water tonight. There's no wonder he just collapsed on to his back at the final whistle, he was knackered. Well done Sam.

Others will pick and post on points I may have left out so over to them. 3 points yes, 3 points that have been a long time coming. Things will improve now players are returning to full fitness and are available I can feel it in mi watter.

New lads have both scored, wots not to like.

Brin, what frightens me is why we're so different over 2 halves of football.
Take tonight, Dawson catches a cross, the north stand cheer and he has words. He continues to kick long to 2 front players both my size, ball comes straight back. People boo at h/t and low and behold Dawson is coming out more off his line and he's passing the ball out, instead of kicking it to nowhere in the 2nd half.
MH, DT and Woodie must be in agreement to play that way in the 1st half and 2nd half we change it and we look like a different team. We do we continously kick it to nowhere then? FFS.

Why can't we either start like this or just mix it up a bit? I've always said that you only have to watch us for 10 mins and the scout can go home.

Great 3 points and lets move forwards.

Rumours tonight in the lounge is TS is selling up......true or not?.....UTM,

Great 3 points but let’s not get carried away that first half again was below poor.
Happy to say well done to the players and management on the win because that’s what they did.
Really hope this is the start of a good run however I’m not convinced this manager can stay away from this stupid system.
Hope I’m wrong I really do.

As a home and awayer, do you stand behind a goal at home as well. Because the keeper has given away and contributed to so many defeats he is setting records. If you do it would be useful for any obs.

"Why are we so different over two halves?".We brought on Dan Gore,that was the difference,he gave us that connection to the front men.His work rate,ability and desire to win is priceless.If only we had an ambitious chairman who could buy this lad.
