All over.

Yes, thank God for that . What's even better is we're a further 3pts away from the bottom team with Stevenage having lost 3-1 to Colchester. I just want us to survive this season and find our feet again at this level.

It's not about not good enough, it's whether he can do that week in week out for the next 2 months until transfer window opens.

Can only imagine how much better off we'd be had he been playing ahead of Alabi.

Do we know ANY of our players can perform week in week out for the next 2 months until the transfer window opens? Of course not. I think today shows Matt Harrold is capable of doing so in the same way Angol and Wilkinson are also capable - that is my point.

Jman wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 5:31 pm Also James Brophy is absolutely critical to this sides success. His final ball is usually toilet and was a couple of times today but he took that goal brilliantly and his direct running makes us such a threat, allowing us to get into good areas up the pitch

Jman wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 5:29 pm Streamed it. Well done Os. In charge of that completely. We're starting to show signs of exactly what we are in this league which is a decent mid table side. We won't pull up many trees this year but we've definitely got the quality to stay well afloat and away from relegation and I'll take that any day with what happened over the summer.

I was very impressed with the way we saw out the last 10-15 minutes, only one hairy moment where they probably should have scored. Good game management and everyone put a shift in. Special mention to Marv Ekpiteta, hasn't been the easiest time for him this year but he was outstanding in an unfamiliar role. Amazing what a win does, things look a lot brighter, onwards and upwards.

I agree . After spending two seasons in the National League and what we've been through as a club, I'll take being a decent mid table League Two side all day long. Thinking about years ago , I'll NEVER complain again about being in League two.

And I couldn't agree more with that sentiment. The thought of ever going back to what we had to put up with in those two years sends chills. Don't even know where to start in describing how much better being back in the football league is

I might agree if Ross was getting 80% results but sadly not, that’s why we need a proven experienced Manager at this level !

Milano wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 6:27 pm Also streamed it. Northampton looked short of quality compared to what l've seen so far, l thought we had better players generally, particularly Harrold, Wilkinson and Brophy. We still got let off at the back on a couple of occasions so there's work to do there but l would make a modest bet we'll finish above the Cobblers.
