Somebody says Osman does want to be here, and every fcuker responds as if it's true... If it's as easy as that here goes.. I've got a 10" Dick.... Nobody actually said that he doesn't want to be here. Just that he went from being one of our better performers, to looking very poor since GJ arrived. Particularly since GJ's comment about wanting to know which players wanted away.

No certainly not Holty, that goes without saying, he always puts in a shift. McKenzie likewise, injuries being his one big problem, all he wants to do is play. John Johnson is all for the cause, and has recently tweeted about hopefully being fit to play on Saturday. I don't need to mention names but every squad up and down the country has a shirker or two.
Yep, which is bad enough when you are in the mire, worse still when your fighters are also your walking wounded.

Clearly a split in the camp starting to appear...
Look. Johnson's fcuked up big time since he stormed in like a bull in a china shop. But I believe now that the players are playing for him. Which post Accrington and Bury was most definitely a concern. So I *think we can safely say that the lads are trying for him. Interestingly, and injuries have played a part...but the central defence on Saturday was the same as when he arrived. So in 11 games its gone full circle!
For me, your central defence is the most important part of the team. Get that right and you can build. The first thing he did was stick a right back there soon followed by a left back and a loanee. And shuffle, shuffle and shuffle more. Whilst fullbacks are obviously defensively important, the central defenders can still bail them out; it doesn't happen the other way round. I could go on but hopefully most will appreciate and agree that you rarely get a successful football team at any level with a large turnover of central defenders. Net result; our defence is now shot to bits and the damage to it was done weeks ago. We simply have to take the attitude now to go out and score more goals than the other team. We have no bus to park. Johnson should have listened to Bungle weeks ago...
But regardless of what division we are in, I will state my case again that Johnson must stay. He's won the BSP; if we go down to that level, get over it. Because we have someone here that if forgiven, would stand a far better chance of taking us straight back up than yet another new comer.
Spot on!! Still think we'll survive though, but then I am Jolly

There is a theory that when a team is on form and "buzzing", players who would normally pull out of games because of injury, suddenly are more than happy to play through the pain barrier when all is going well. Although on the flipside when a team is struggling, suddenly these same players are not quite so hasty in returning as soon. I'd call it "convenient injuries" - i wouldnt go as far as accusing some of our recently injured players of feigning as such, but you can sometimes figure out who has the stomach for these occasions compared to the ones who just hide and go to ground when the going gets tough...hhmmm.
It's a theory, and there may well be some truth to it. However, I very much doubt that the likes of Holt, Johnson, McKenzie, or Gilligan would bottle a game. Saying that, they have all been injured, and therein lays one of our major problems. There are too many (mentally) tough players missing each week.

But does anyone know what has been said to him ? GJ man management !! Who knows?
Can't help but notice, the week GJ said he'd had all of the players in and asked them 'If they wanted to be here next season, because I'm only interested in players who want to be a part of the future of this club.' Osman was dropped/missing for the next game, and has been very poor ever since.

I know everybodies saying "It's Sammo's fault","It's GJ's fault" , "the players are sh*t" BUT we have had no luck either.They say it evens its self out over the season , if so ,we are owed a load of luck for the next 2 games ! Think back a couple of weeks ,Burton against Cheltenham,Burton guy scores the ref pulls play back gives Burton a pen and sends the Chelt defender off, for denying a goalscoreing opporturnity !(The red card was recinded) Then a Burton guy blatently fouls a Chelt defender ,ref waves play on and Burton score their second . On Saturday Barnet scored with a cross , when was the last time we had such luck?
Hopefully, we'll survive this season all off our own backs, and not having to rely on getting any additional luck... All of it being stored away until next season, when we'll be the luckiest side in league 2 history, a record number of 66 own goals being scored in our favour

You're not called "Jolly Cobbler" for nothing then. Anyone who can confidently say "think we'll win this" after 17 successive failed attempts to win a match (or is it 18?) deserves praise and admiration and a free appointment with a psychiatrist I've already had my weekly visit with the shrink, thank you very much. I was due to go today, but after being found lying in the streets of Stockport, weeping buckets of tears, the authorities were able to wrangle me an early appointment

According to Stockport fans, we're by far the worst team to visit Edgeley Park this season and we're going down with them.
Yeah I know, but that's bollox! On our day we are a more than half decent side, well at least going forward It's still in our own hands, and we will stay up. Stay strong

pretty much think it will be a draw and its not ****in doom saturday banana boy. its just ****in the way it is. Actually, I have always been more positive about winning this game than I was about us beating Stockport. Think we'll win this. Having said that, it's all going down to the wire, as there will be a few results that will go against us at the weekend. Think we'll probably go to Morecombe needing at least a point to be absolutely certain.

That is the ridiculous position we are in now. I have absolute confidence that if we were to stay up then next season would be a good one due to Johnson being the manager he is. However the fact that we are where we are is unacceptable and unbelievable and I can't see him being able to keep us up.
Why can you not see him being able to keep us up? We have two games left, and are not as yet in the relegation places. Stay strong, brother. We'll be okay

Stockport are no way finished,this thread reminds me of when we played Maccesfield @ home & BBC Northampton stated that the 2 relegation spaces were done & dusted & no way were the town going to be draged in to a relegation battle
If you look at Stockport's defense in comparison to our forward line, then we should score a hatful against them. Of course, in all likelihood we will concede a few as well. So hopefully, either 3-2 or 4-2 to the Town. Honestly though, I'm expecting a draw. That wouldn't be great, but a defeat will be an absolute disaster. Strangely, I'm actually more optimistic of beating Stevenage (3-2), than I am of winning tomorrow. The fact is, given the quality of the players in our squad, it is a f***ing disgrace that we are even in this situation.

Well your wrong - Ad nauseam is a Latin term used to describe an argument which has been continuing "to [the point of] nausea". Unfortunately you may not be able to understand the term or its application.Did you study Latin at school? If you did you would not have responded as in yr last message I know exactly what it means. Hence your -yr message is negative "ad nauseam" Makes no sense, seeing as a message is not an argument. Nor was there an argument going on. As I said, you Sir, are a c***

Talk about arguing against yourself. Do you honestly think that say a true Labour supporter would put down the conservatives or the Liberals as their second vote? Far more likely they'll look elsewhere, maybe to a green or independant. Same goes for true Tories or Liberals, they too would almost certainly look for an alternative for their second choice.
Just imagine if at the next election the choice was Labour, Liberal, Conservative or for example purposes only Keith Barwell (or any other prominent Northamptonian). Surely most supporters of the three main parties are far more likely to vote for Barwell as their second choice rather than one of their political foes. I certainly would.
Well maybe a house filled with a vast array of independents would actually make life far more interesting. The argument would be that nothing would ever get done, although i'm not convinced that is true. Would certainly be no worse than the Corporate hand picked university clique, that currently end up in the top jobs.
