Northampton (A) Match / Exiles Thread

[cymruO]

Hello from Wales. Very quiet today as their prayers for an English rugby defeat went unheard! COYO's!!!

[Eat The Rich]

makes no sense having Wilko out wide so I'm guessing its a midfield diamond. Clay at the base, Wright and Gorman either side and Brophy at the tip. Harrold and Wilko up top.

The downside is that our only width is what Ling and Widdowson can provide.

[Story of O]

Which is none.

[i8ubutler]

Afternoon chaps.
Not stopped raining here yet today. Thoroughly miserable.
Cheer me up O's.
COYO's

Presume this is how we finished last week?

Wilkinson & Brophy out wide with Harrold the centre-piece?

Looks very odd how they’ve set it up on the Sky Sports app!

No, I think Marsh was on for the whole 90 minutes . We all know Harrold is a good impact sub but he can't last the whole game .

He's the only player we have who can be an effective target man. It's looking like Wilkinson prefers to be the one getting the knock downs rather than doing the donkey work so can see why Ross is trying the pairing as they worked well second half last week.

Brophy roaming as part of 3 upfront is a bit of a gamble but without a suitable pairing who can run CM in a 4-4-2 it's all we can do when we need 3 in the middle to keep it tight.

Another day another formation, let's hope this one does the business. At least it's not 5-3-2 again.

Maybe this is one that Calderwood (or Nugent) asked us to try?

For the latter... "Interesting"

[Mr. Peanutbutter]

Anyone else getting high levels of static listening to Dave?

[RedDwarf 1881]

Which is none.

Correct and that's why I think Ross is making a mistake

[Fisch]

Ling is in trouble. Pulled something it seems.

[i8ubutler]

Sam Ling off , Marv Ekpiteta on.

[Howling Mad Murdock]

I read that as sarcastic.

[RedDwarf 1881]

Sam Ling off , Marv Ekpiteta on.

What ? What's wrong with bringing on Judd . You know, a proper RB. We're going to lose this game.

[Eat The Rich]

We didn't have much width at the start of the game, now we're into negative numbers.

[gshaw]

Not in the squad, wasn't he injured a few weeks back without even playing a game?

Is he on the bench? Dulcet thinks not.

Oh ,Ok, I didn't know that .

[i8ubutler]

Stevenage and Scunthorpe both leading in away games at the mo.

Oh, Scunny 1 - 1 now.

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

Anyone else getting high levels of static listening to Dave?

I was but seems ok now

[Fisch]

Gorman was lucky just to get a yellow and then goes on to jump with his arm up and then grab some guy's shirt. Not too bright is he?

No. Maybe he should just try and concentrate on playing football rather than trying to get himself sent off .

[Eat The Rich]

Has Marv gone to right back or have we gone three at the back with Clay on the right?

[Fisch]

Wilkinson is my pick of the bunch - first half. Impressive.

[Bergen]

Decent 1st half. Northampton have been poor. We should win this.

Harrold has done well.

Maybe but I still don't trust our defence .
