One good thing to come out of SEVEN of the youth players signing is that KC must think they are footballers and not hoof ball players like most of the squad currently.

Maybe a brighter footballing future?

I thought that the recent crop were offered contracts. Hopefully it means they’ll sign them but hadn’t seen that bit yet.

OK, answer Yes or No, did you think that Williams deserved to come of and Sordell to stay on?

Neither deserved to stay on as they were both playing poorly. Neither could complain about being subbed.

We were playing rubbish before and after Williams came off. Don’t act as if one substitution changed the course of the game. Williams offered no threat whatsoever all game.
Apart from working his nuts off the win the ball back which led to their player getting sent off

I admire your optimism however I think the promotion of seven youth team players to the first team is more an indication of the much smaller playing budget we’ll have next season.

Yeah, he cost us the game by doing this as we were fine playing against eleven!  Grin

Willo's work rate was causing them problems and forcing mistakes at the back, and despite the "pedigree" of Sordell at least Willo has put some chances away for us.

Hope we make the most of it. These sort of opportunities don't come along very often, even though improvements have been made in the academy in recent years. It's very unusual to have seven in one year and it could have been more.

I really hope its ability rather than financial. From what I've seen they are miles off hacking it in a very physical league

Oh wow, a footballer chases a ball. Sordell played the clever pass through to Bridge when he should have put us two nil up. One good moment doesn’t mean they had a good game. Neither played well, neither can complain about being pulled off.

Curley Cobblers is the man for the job at Sixfields.

It is more a question of how many wasters there are at the club, pinching a wage..... Huh???

I can see Pierre off to a Div 1 / Championship club in the close-season.

The rest are either on their way down to the Conference, or will scam their wages off another Div2 failure.

Let's get rid of the lot - including all those fans' favourites.

12 out the door, 5 decent signings; and with the young professionals, we have the makings of a decent set-up.

Curley-Cobblers knows who can play football (ie, those that treat the ball with respect - that football.... a loving friend, who needs caressing and keeping within the family).

For those who are already calling for his head.  May yours be on a spike outside Sixfields next season.  And, if they are, I will spit on them.



Turnbull and Pierre - both very good players at our level and the former can play in front of the defence, as a central defender and as a Left Back. He's the right age and a distinct asset.

Wow, there's me thinking you said "Williams offered no threat whatsoever all game" He was clean through on goal, I don't suppose that counts as a threat?

Give over, he was about 35 yards from goal. If you honestly sat and watched the game and believe he threatened the opposition on Saturday then good luck to you.

Well the ref did, he sent their player off for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity  Grin

Are you suggesting KC should have kept him on because the ref thought he was a threat? Surely not  Grin

Curle was clearly playing the "long game" at the expense of the short term.   He is leaving Williams in no doubt that he must move on in the summer by continually pulling him off  Shocked Shocked

Either that or we are getting paid to play Sordell,  be interesting  to see what minutes of the games he has started that he gets subbed

I never once discussed whether he should stay on. You mentioned he wasn’t a threat when he quite clearly was. If you continue with this you’ll be daft as well as crazy

Mentioned it a few times; I really don't understand why people are concerned about his preferred style of play, citing boring football for the reason of not liking him.

His style of football at previous clubs he's managed has been expansive.

When he did get us (briefly) playing out from the back (remember those handful of games) it all went wrong. Very wrong.

The players we have...are all 'industrial' types. Not creative/flair players. We are excellent at set pieces, top scorers in league2 from corners. Which in itself suggests where the 'strengths' of this currently lot lay.

The odd player we have whom could be deemed a flair player, are mainly rubbish at worst or inconsistent at best. Powell, Bowdith. Im struggling beyond those two, unless you add timmy Mallet (who I think Id prefer than the Timi we have) or Powell (loanee) to the pot...the latter is clearly very talented but only in glimpses. Thus far.

On Saturday, again it was a mental breakdown. A man gets sent off...we think we've won it. Opposition dig in, get a quick goal to equalise, tails go back up, probably heard the half time scores with Notts County and co winning, came out all fired up. We didn't.

The subs. I understood bringing another midfielder on, exactly the reasons I thought at the time which were also explained the other day in his interview. Williams v Sordell...I didn't get that. I booed it in fact, such was my frustration. But I do see things a bit more objectively afterwards. Its the first sub I've booed that he's made, should have been Constantine (sorry Sordell) who came off.

What I will say though, is that we were sh1te before the subs, and I don't think it would have made a jot of difference. Those 10 minutes after half time, they got behind us on at least 3 or 4 occasions. We were on the ropes. My annoyance was more about the overall performance, and taking our top scoring player off and leaving Constantine the 2nd on the pitch smacked of 'Im favouring my own signing'.

Final point, and someone made it on this thread. Perhaps he's playing the long game. Hadn't thought of that. Would I keep Williams next season? Would I heck! He's 33 odd, a journeyman of the lower leagues, bog standard 4th division striker. Probably on good money as well. Id definitely be looking to move him on if possible, he'd do a fine job for a national league club with ambitions to get into the football league. We might have to help out with the wages but even so, I hope he's moved on.

Ironically, it looks like your definition of ‘threat’ is unclear. We’re obviously going to have to agree to disagree on whether he was a threat. Ultimately, the overriding point throughout the thread which you conveniently do not wish to discuss is the impact (if any) the substitution had on the game. Your silence on this point is somewhat confusing given you’ve had so much to say on the semantics behind the word ‘threat’  Grin

Id love to see who folk think Curle will bring in the replace Williams who is a player with over 100 goals to his name.Im glad you lot have confidence in Curle putting together a squad for next season, especially when he thinks sam Hoskins is worthy of a start every week  Grin Grin
