These players largely took us down with a whimper . Why on earth does anyone think they are good enough to take us up . I don’t think Austin thinks they are either but he couldn’t churn them in the summer . He said he wanted characters in the dressing room this season . Well that hasn’t happened . This will be a long season

Absolutely, on numerous occasions he has said they are good enough.

He could and should have done more to get rid of at least 5 or 6. We needed big changes, he didn't impliment that. It will cost him his job come xmas unless things change massively.

It’s a quote. For the press. He’s hardly likely to go with “I’d love to ship a dozen of these out, but nobody wants them” is he?

Why not?? I thought he told it like it is?? After Cambridge he said we're nearly there and are going to give someone a beating....after tonight he says he doesn't know whats wrong! More quotes "for the press"? It doesnt matter what he says to the press really does it? We've got mainly the same squad as last season....and that squad has now won just TWO of their last 19 games.

It's all about Momentum ....
Back in the Day when we went all those games unbeaten .....we knew how to win & about game management......even when perhaps, we shouldn't have !
Now we are a bunch of gutless prima donnas who are not up for a fight ( which is what this awful league is all about)...who are perennial failures .
The Cheap Option is not usually the BEST Option Imo.

Further to the posts above.....Austin says he wouldnt swap this squad for any other in league 2, and then after tonights game he says “I think we might have just turned up tonight thinking that we’ve got a really good team and a really good squad of players and we’re just going to play our game"
Well Dean......you said it......!!

He didn't need to say either.

I thought before the season, if Cornell is our keeper then the best we can hope for is mid table. Apparently he made a couple of saves tonight BUT I don't think the defence have any confidence in him at all and that affects them. Look at his record, all our recent managers have gave him a chance to prove himself but they all realised that he's not up to it. Whoever decided to offer him a new contract really needs to start looking for a new job, it was obvious that he isn't good enough for League football. If DA sticks with him, it will cost him his job, I've been watching the Cobblers for over 50 years and I'm struggling to think of a worse keeper.

I echo that Roger ........Exactly right ! He did say he would bring an experienced Keeper in and what did we get

I suppose Cornell should take the blame for the 77 conceded last year too? Our defence was diabolical with both Ingram and O'Donnell behind them. Their performances so far this season have nothing to do with Cornell. I agree he's far from the best of keepers but not having faith in your keeper shouldn't make you defend as terribly as we do.
