Looked like a fair challenge to me but what do I know.
Two homer yellows - only booked two of them

Great win if not a great spectacle. Dug deep to hang on. Breakspear should be banned from Reffing us. In fact ban him from Reffing. After beating teams in the top two when we played them it's nice to beat a lowly team now. Roll on Satdee and keep the run going.

Not a game for the purist and we have quite a few of them! KC has assembled a very good defensive unit and today they all played very well. Special mention for Cornell who brought off a magnificent save in the first half from Guthrie* who I thought was their danger man. The support played their part with constant chanting. When Smith scored with a brave header they went into raptures. Harry Harry they chanted. This was a brave and disciplined performance especially when down to 10 men. I enjoyed the 2nd half performance real backs against the wall stuff; just like Cobblers of old which for me is a good sign. Stevenage were a lot better than their lowly position at the foot of the table and played with great deal of spirit and intent. Smith’s presence in the attack clearly unsettled them and it was no surprise that our best period of play incurred whilst he was on the pitch! Some of our predictions for this game were wildly optimistic OTT. Stevenage were playing with fearsome desperation and our win against them and Breakspear was no mean feat!

Well played Town... Thought the card for the sending off was fair. But he should never have been on a yellow... Good win on a chilly night.

It was Swindon and Bradford all over again as GPC says some you win some you lose. Happy with the 3pts.

Easy money to be made here, Charles Breakspear is reffing this one which virtually guarantees that we will have someone sent off !
Move over Melbourne, sod the octopus , horses for courses PS Cant we say we don't want this tw*t anywhere near our matches, just look at his record it is blatantly obvious that he has a problem with NTFC

Not quite great oracle not quite - both Swindon and Bradford were reasonable football teams whilst Stevenage although very game were not. See for yourself

Watched the Smith sending off again. stretching for the ball with his foot down and the Stevenage lad has had the refs pants down. Perhaps a bit unwise so soon after the booking to commit but I can’t believe the ref fell for it? Oh hang on, it’s the Surrey cardsmith Charles Bookinghere isn’t it, say no more?
I had more of an issue with Smith’s first yellow: he had his back to the goal and was walking away when their keeper gave him an almighty shove in the back, for which he was deservedly booked.

Agreed - because of the position and look of the tackle not too many complaints on the second - but some of the earlier bookings very questionable, however we all know Charlie boy's reputation and I don't think we were particularly savvy to that. Having said that how can this guy continually referee with red and yellow stats well above the average - he is the type of referee that frankly spoils games for both sides and the EFL should hold him to account. Great 3 points - I thought we were awful in the first half and regressed to early season style - Adams barely got a pass to provide some much needed width. Second half until the red card much improved with passing and wing play pushing Stevenage very much on the back foot followed by a great defensive performance following the red.

Special mention to the singing section last night, an excellent performance. Was Dan back in after his absence?

A win is a win . Well done for keeping our shape and seeing it through. How on earth we got away with that I don’t know . It must be the record for the least amount of consecutive passes during any 90 minutes in which a team has won . The one bit of quality in the game resulted in the goal. Great Adams cross . We also defended well in fairness . Smith scores but nearly cost us the game . Has he a brain cell in his head ? He has just been booked , everyone knows what Breakspear is like and then he goes in late . Switch on Harry . But a wins a win so fair enough .
I think that’s the dictionary definition of damning with faint praise - I wouldn’t worry, I’m sure we’ll lose again soon 😉

good to see that the problem of just trying to keep our shape for 90 minutes went from a horrible game plan from curle, to a matchwinning game plan. as the post above says, i am sure we will lose again soon so you will be happy once more. you are beginning to sound more miserable than me on here, which really is some effort. i dont care how we win away from home if we win - we have seen terrible teams beat us on our own patch, so about time we did it to others.

Move over Melbourne, sod the octopus , horses for courses PS Cant we say we don't want this tw*t anywhere near our matches, just look at his record it is blatantly obvious that he has a problem with NTFC Over the past three seasons, he's sent off seven different players. O'Toole, Buchanan, Barnett, Crooks, Pereira, Foley and Smith. Can our club request that he never ref's us again as this is looking like a grudge for some reason?

Out of curiosity, how many red cards have we received in total over the same time period?

Just to play devils advocate (and don’t get me wrong as Breakspear shouldn’t be refereeing full stop) but you would hope that when the players/manager see we have got him in charge we try to manage the game accordingly - for example don’t go lunging in when you’re already on a yellow. Thinking back to the game when he sent o’toole and pereira off (if I remember correctly) they both completely lost their heads and you could see that they were red cards waiting to happen. Having said that I don’t really blame the players for losing their rag as he is the most inept, incompetent referee out there and he’s got some fierce competition.

Not sure about Breakspears competence but on Smiths second yellow he was surrounded by gesticulating SFc players. The injured player lay comatose but got up and happily resumed. The first yellow was very doubtful their goalie gave Smith an almighty push was booked but no idea why he booked Smith. Like to think we will appeal against 1st booking? I was wrong in saying Guthrie forced a great save from Cornell it was another player!
