We won 1-0 and my recollection is Tomo scoring but I could be wrong. I’m not wrong about it being bloody freezing on that open terrace. Cricket pitch to our left and zero atmosphere. Nicky Brookman scored the winner in the home game. Both games were typical of much of that era, small crowds, dull matches and a total lack of glamour or excitement! Yeah, they left there in 1996.

Zulu Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I’m coming up for the game from Northamptonshire for this one. Not part of the Shoe Army though obviously. Meeting our kid and some friends. Looking forward to it. 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disciplinary thing and the shite standard of refs is a concern you don't know if we'll have 11 on the pitch 20 minutes in or half the defence booked. Here's hoping it goes to plan and we get back to something like we expect and regain some momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Ultimately we just need the 3 points even if comes in the last minute but there needs to be an improvement in all areas, the pace needs stepping up massively we have players back and had a little rest period time to kick on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masi 51 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Angry last time out. Evatt has done enough last three seasons for a bit of leeway. For me that is now played out Will back him Saturday and always the team when playing No more excuses with players returning. Hope we kick on because this league is really shite Still think we are easy to play against and Evatt only plays one way, but hey ho fresh start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Hard to estimate what standard Northampton will be. Carlisle were extremely average but iffy pens, OGs, deflected flukey goals and sendings off change games, so there won't be any predictions from me on how many of those will occur on Saturday. Northampton have only conceded 4 away, yet to concede a goal before the 72nd minute and haven't been behind before the 80th minute away. We don't score late as a rule so it could be a long 100 minutes if we don't score earlyish. After Saturday they will have played 8 of the top half (we've played 2 of the top 10), so their current league position probably isn't a true indicator.

Definitely not a true indicator IMO - they have a superb defensive record and even with captain Guthrie missing with injury only lost by a last minute single goal last time out having dominated the game and missed a penalty themselves. Guthrie may still be out but we'll have to wait and see. Their forwards aren't bad either but IF we play to our potential we should have enough.

He ain’t got many…. If we don’t win this (which I think we will btw) and with the next 3 on the road we could be in trouble. We’ve conceded 12 goals in our first 7 home games which is poor.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 19, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2023 It is a loss, but he's not been the player we know he is with this injury, and that is part of the problem. No point in having a half fit player making his injury worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesince63 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I just don’t know what to expect these days. Sadly I never feel confident of a win even though I’m anticipating one because we just don’t seem to build up any tempo to get on top of teams, it’s all slow, slow, stand on the ball then sideways which just doesn’t get us forward. If we could just speed it up a bit I’m sure we’d be better and maybe catch teams on the break instead of letting them get all their men back in place. We blame the strikers but in fairness they don’t get any space. I just don’t see anything changing at the moment so I’m fearing a similar outcome as against Carlisle and if that happens then Ian really does have to think again about his system because excuses won’t cut it.
