I dithered about going until 11am this morning so only left my house in Rushden at 10 past 12. My lad was nagging me to go which turned it  As always, a lovely day out with my 9 year old who for some reason loves watching us play. I've brought him up well. But even he said 'Daddy, lets go home now' with 10 left to go. We duly did! It was bloody awful. As bad as Mansfield, and 4 or 5-0 would have been about right...against a really poor team. The young kid (29), I cant bring myself to name him. What the hell was that all about? Did he win a competition to play for us?! He reminded me of myself playing football! Outfield play wise, only Foley turned up. Cornell had a superb match and anyone who votes another player as man of the match, I question their agenda. I cant even contemplate another player, they were all sh1te. But in particular the kid who obviously won a competition. We now have 7 left to play, zero to play for. Time to forget about Powell (Daniel), forget about Bowdith (I didn't see his goal but there is absolutely no way he can surely get another contract), forget about the loan players who will definitely not sign for us (whichever ones they are) and think 'next season'. I don't care about finishing in the top half, I care about using this unique opportunity to properly start working on next season. Our pre-season starts now. If next weeks team selection suggests that our agenda is short term thinking, I wont bother with Notts County. KC has done what he was brought in to do, and has done an excellent job in doing so. But now its time for him to turn to page2 of his book. I want to see a Cobblers team next week of players (only) who are likely to be here next season. That is all I ask. |

Heard also today from someone at the club that Villa had enquired about Pierre, so next to no chance he will be here next year if not to villa somewhere higher.

Went on the coach with the window lickers,today
The trust should have a bit more 'inflight entertainment' but the people on the trip were enough to be honest,
Having read the dire opinions on here regarding current performances I thought the Cobbs did ok today - Hughes was ok( but he is a young lad and will get better) the team was only there for the last 30 mins but defence was hardly over stretched. Goalie had an easy time.And theres me thinking that our lot were fickle, and up pops this little ray of sunshine.
Everyone seems cheerful today!
Yes, it was bad today but we had absolutely nothing to play for (most were on the beach), whereas they had everything to play for.
Unfortunately, it doesn't excuse it but it's a fact plus some players won't be here next season all added into the mix.

Hi
Well Neil your report doesn’t quite ring true? The Cobblers were ok? Even I a diehard thought it was poor; then you contradict yourself! I was on the same coach as you! Where did you sit? |

Few thoughts from me tonight. The song for Sam Foley about him never giving the ball away is laughable. I counted him giving the ball away 16 times in the first half. One time resulting in the first goal. Considering his contract runs out in the summer, he didn't even jog back to try and win the ball back. I hope he doesn't get offered a new deal.
The second goal was a dreadful header from.Goode. I felt for Hughes as be clearly isn't ready yet for First Team football, but he couldn't do anything about the pen at all.
Their third goal was the cherry on the top. I'm not sure I've ever seen us allow someone to score an unchallenged free header from two yards directly from a corner, but fair play for managing that today. The three goals were all completely avoidable and that is very frustrating. They were however entirely deserved as Cheltenham were very worthy winners. We now effectively have 7 meaningless games. Fingers crossed some of the people who performed so badly today do not feature again.

First goal a mistake by Foley, but Taylor failed to cut the cross ball out when he should have done.
Second a woeful header by Goode straight to their striker.
Season over?

Third goal was only a matter of time. The corner they had first half with four or five surrounding Cornell and not a defender anywhere near due to zonal defending should have been the clue. |

Cheltenham are no mugs at home... unfortunately, see a 1-3 defeat and the first double of the season against us! Love getting predictions wrong though!
Now we've got rid of the two or three twats who never actually go to games... Love to be wrong...too often correct! |

So what did we learn at Cheltenham? 1) Hughes is no replacement for Pierre: 2) We have no adequate replacement for Turnbull: 3) Anyone with a bit of pace or power is too good for Ash to handle: 4) Hoskins is getting money under the false pretence that he is a professional football player. 5) JJOT feels they have done enough for this season and are not bothered about playoffs 6) A great number of the others agree with JJOT. 7) Waters cares not a jot about the Cobblers. He sat close to me and was up and out of his seat for all 3 goals - mind you his lady is a real babe.  We will struggle for the rest of the season..... Oh and yes 9) the ref was worse than we even knew beforehand. The bloke has serious problems. |
