This is the sort of bland sound-bite bandied around by sheep-like football supporters.  You know, the sort of chap who buys some edgy-sounding crap made up by a billionnaire to make you vote his way in a referendum.....

But, it is actually a very sound question, given the current transfer window

So, all you Fantasy Footballers out there, who are so keen to spend someone else's money on the plaything called "The Cobblers", please tell me the 5 qualities that make a player "Good Enough to Wear the Claret & White shirt":

(Oh, PS: for anyone who thinks the qualities differ based on the player's role in the team, you really do not understand life, do you?  (Rhetorical question) )

(Oh, PPS: lack of response to this question proves my point about lack of braincells amongst the posters on here)

1. Self Serving
2. Lack of Tenacity
3. No Sense of Professional Pride
4. No End Product
5. Contempt for Manager

Sums up at least 75% of our squad over the last 2 years and they were fit to wear it, apparently?

Funnily enough after watching so much dross for so long it makes Cobblers fans pretty good at picking out decent players.

Pretty much this - I think supporters are generally too quick to confuse lack of effort with lack of ability or team cohesion.

When all said and done, the players at the club are still within the top 0.5% of footballers in this country. They've dedicated their life from an early age to get there, and while they get paid a decent sum it's generally a very short and risky career for the majority. Everyone wants to club to do well, but it does rankle when a fat 50 yr old that doesn't even have a fraction of the mental/physical discipline can lay into a young lad for being a 'lazy c*nt' if he gets beat in a tackle.
