How does that work then?
"Well we created enough chances to win 4 games. Swap keepers and we win 3-0." Shall I explain............ As it stood we were incapable of beating their keeper, he was clearly their match winner, making some superb saves....we could have played another half.... But swap keepers & Cornell would have let in at least 3 goals. & their keeper, being taller and so much much better on the day, would have probably saved the free ( zone marking problem) header from the corner. Walsall keeper, Roberts, makes all the difference.

Well we created enough chances to win 4 games. Swap keepers and we win 3-0. key personnel..particularly good or bad.......
Cornell ? ...why not Arnold Hall- Johnson.....ranks amongst the sh1ttiest debuts ever ! At fault for the goal in part McCormack.....strapped up & nowhere near fit Goode....played well Hoskins....doing a typical Sammy performance! Smith .....won every header ( but to no-one) apart from the defensive one for their goal ! Adams.....Quality , looked like he was getting exasperated with the inability to convert his superb crosses Lines.....Anonymous, very poor, big disappointment Williams on as sub ....did s0d all
Special mention for Zonal Marking.....Disaster ! & the midfield set up by KC , out-thought by Clarke..... But a real smash & grab. job done on us ......mind you, we could still be playing & wouldn't have scored. Repeat of last season's opener v. Imps.

It's always going to be expensive and somewhat boring and off the shelf with Nike......yes, bring back Lotto , if it's a copy of an Italian Team, at least it isn't run of the mill here.
Solid Claret !

The ones that angered me at the times I could go back further - Micky Bell, Steve Brown were both sold too cheap. Bobby Barnes and Tony Adcock! ;
Well Shane, I must qualify 2 of these comments, we got a very good deal on Steve Brown and Mickey Bell was subject to a Tribunal fixed fee by a Football League Panel........with a price that infuriated Wycombe at the time. I know because I was there ! As for the awful deal to Posh, although not involved, for Barnesy and Tony...the club was absolutely desperate just to stay afloat.

Brilliant news......he slaughtered us ( Buchs) up at Gigg Lane and was always a favourite of mine....and very popular with the players in his previous championship winning stint.
He will eclipse Sammy on the number of assists and thrive again at this level.
The signings are very-very impressive so far.

Hi and welcome to The HotelEnd and all things Cobblers, from where-ever you are.....don't believe everything that you read on here as a word of caution. Hopefully you will have some fun and improve your English.
As "Everbrite/ Tony says the away scene is where it's really at and the Fans run several buses under at least 3 different banners to all games.
Why not join the Supporters Trust and get really involved ?
If you are not in the middle of nowhere ....try a flight & hop over into Stansted Airport!

Just got in from Oldham on the Trust Bus.
Encouraging performance, must admit I feared the worse when their first goal went in . What an improvement on last year.
Hope this bodes well for next season......now the brief wait for the retained list and a couple of new signings earmarked in the next week or so.
