Rocking The Robins

Which Williams? - CWilliams is not good enough just yet; maybe in a year or two's time.

Yes, give a few of the young lads a go. That would wake up a few of those that think they are playing great but are certainly not.


Williams when he has bulked up a little looks a great prospect.

Would presume Jay Williams at CB, looked okay against Wycombe and the only way these lads will take the next step is by getting game time.

At the moment our CB pairing are having all sorts of issues, maybe we could look for a free agent to come in?

And that in a nutshell is why we sit where we do in the league with the solitary win. Cornell will loose you more points than he saves you over a season.

What you say may or may not be true, but is totally unfair based on current evidence. While I was not Cornell's biggest fan last year, I'm big enough to recognise that he's played well this year and deserves credit. If he continues playing like he has he certainly will save us more points than he loses us. Basing a comment on his history previous to coming to the Cobblers is unfair (at the Cobblers he only played a few games before this season). Let's judge him on what he's doing now. I'm quite sure that if his name was Richard O'Donnell we'd all be perfectly happy with his performances so far this season.

Most of Glastonbury comments re Cornell are ill founded and baseless. He lives in Swindon and rarely goes to games - by choice incidentally.

[Battery Man]

To be honest I think Cornell has been one of the better performers this season, sure he could be a bit more vocal with his defenders but I think that will come as his confidence grows.

Hahaha, most of my comments on Cornell are based on facts. I'd love to know how many games we have won with him in goal. My guess would be less than 20%!


Not sure what your obsession with Swindon is as well nevers. I do not,  have never and will never live anywhere near swindon.

I thought my username would give you an idea of where I live!!

And how many matches have we won with Facey, Taylor, Foley, vV, Crooks, Pierre, Powell and other regular starters in the side over the last season or so? My guess would be less than 20%, so why pick on Cornell. You could just as well pick on those who haven't been scoring the goals for us.

I refer you to my previous post.

No..your comments are based on your opinion...If you had been going this season you would know that he has been one of the few positives so far.
As him sitting 3rd in the player of the season on this site goes to prove.

You missed out the word worthless before opinion. Other than that, well said.

I haven't picked on anyone and you are correct a lot of tge others are just as bad. My point was whilst Cornell,  Hoskins,  powell are a regular pick in the first 11 don't expect results to change as they are all not good enough.

That fact he is sitting 3rd in the player of the season tells you why we sit where we do in league 2. Cornell is absolutely adequate as a number 2, but number 1 he is not and as I've said before over a season will cost us more points than he saves us. You are correct in the fact we have bigger issues too

David Cornell has played 19 league games for NTFC resulting in 2 wins during those games.
That's a little over 10% FACT.

And there we have it!

Nothing at all against the bloke, but he along with so many others are simply not good enough! Our results, last seasons table and previous years performance and this year's table tells you that.

We needed big changes in the summer (10-12) players out, that for whatever reason did not happen. From the very outset austin said only small tweets to the squad were required, I disagreed with him then and still do and results so far tell me he was wrong.

I hope he turns it around, I really do! But if he continually plays players who are simply not good enough week in week out then results will not change.

I've been trying to work out what's causing our defence to play worse against worse opposition. I've come to the conclusion that either Austin is managing them worse than JFH... Or Cornell is causing problems being No. 1 keeper. Facey, Taylor and Pierre have dipped massively with Buchsnan also steadily declining.

So you would play Coddington or Ward ahead of Cornell then?  Maybe we could just send out the players that you deem good enough? Have we got any or should Port vale play against fresh air?

I'd give ward a run personally to see if he is any better. This us where austin really has fallen down imo to bring in a keeper he deems to be no better than Cornell is criminal. Slocombe would gave been one answer, when bristol rovers made him avalible for loan. We'd already gone for ward by that point.

You would keep Taylor in the side then?

Taylor proved last year he has some quality, something is definatly changed this year, not sure if it's a dip in form, playing in front of Cornell or the fact he dosent want to be here.

Yes I would drop him, but who do you bring in? Pierre has been equally bad at times, Barnett was vastly inferior last year, Turnbull is average at best and dosent want to be here if you believe reports and the young kids?

So you would drop Cornell for Ward, no question.
You would also drop Taylor but seem to be making excuses not to.

You must have complete faith in Ward. Have you ever seen him play at all?
