Same as the pathetically, childish (and clearly lacking any subtle sense of humour) match thread titles!

Idiots (usual suspects) who refer to Torquay as Turkey, Rotherham as Roveram and Southend as Sarfend...hilarious - not!
its Rovrum btw..

I'm actually still in shock about the weekend. I didn't think it was possible to go to Walsall with any hope at all.

Keep proving me wrong please  Grin

I thought I'd wait a couple of days, to see if the glorious feeling I had on leaving the ground Saturday had worn off.

It hasn't.  Grin

Every player put in 110% for us, at times we played swift, attacking football (along the ground!) and I loved that went we went 1-0 up we carried on looking for a second rather than defaulting to eleven at the back.

McWilliams showed why we should be playing him every game, I like the way he actually pulled out of a few silly challenges that he might of made before when he felt he was on his own in chasing people down. Even we he gave the ball away, the crowd willed him on to get it back and most of the time he did.

Crooks on the left and Sammy up top had me surprised when we lined up, but boy did it work. Sammy ran his socks off and although he missed some chances, was a great outlet down the channels rather than us hoofing it looking for JJ all the time. Crooks looked like the player we paid good money to land, I hope we can keep hold of him.

Powell looked an attacking force driving down the line, two assists for him and hopefully will stay injury free. The defence coped well, despite letting them in behind a couple of times, ROD didn't have a save to make until right near the end (when he made two very good ones).

A massive wave of optimism seems to have swept over us all, cannot wait to "hunt down" Walsall on Saturday. Telling that when Long came on for Sammy, it was the fastest I've seen him run and close players down all season!

Great win for us, a great win for Dean Austin, dare we dream of staying up?

It's been such a timely reminder of what this club means to us - yes we moan and moan when things are wrong but it's all born from the love we have for it. It's like your kids not listening and answering back all day but then a single "love you Daddy" at night time taking it all away.

It's still a long, long road back but Saturday proved that wherever we end up, on these big occasions where we pull something out the bag and play with pride there's no better place to be.

Great to see happy faces around Sixfields again and if we put up that fight in the final two games then we'll hopefully have a better summer than we originally would have whichever league we end up in.

Sixfields rocks once more as Cobblers send Plymouth packing.


My take on Town's strong 2-0 win over Argyle and How Dean Austin has brought the fight back to NTFC for the NeneQuirer

You might want to take into account that Plymouth’s song is “Molly Molone” so there’s a good chance you’re flirting with an overweight 50 year old bloke from Saltash.

It made me smile when people tried to pre guess a jfh team when knowing firstly it was impossible and  if they got it right it wouldn't give much credit.
But top marks for your prediction.
Same team for walsall?

So, Plymouth will be looking to get the ball in from the bye-line as many times as possible, hoping to bundle the ball home.

We need our best defensive full-backs playing, and a hard-tackling midfielder (McW or JO'T) who can cover the D when they get into the last 3rd (to stop any follow-ups from under-pressure clearances).

That's aside from their ability to drive forward with the ball from midfield.

But, the best form of defence is attack (although many managers get that the wrong way around - eg, Mourinho).  So, we need players who can peel wide into the gaps left by their advancing wing-backs/wingers, and who can drive forward with the ball in the spaces that they will leave.

This is going to be all about stonewall defending on the half-way line, and playing in behind their wide defence as early as possible.

If we don't do this, then, we may come unstuck......



So, was I close to getting the tactics right?
