[EB Claret]

Nicke Kabamba (remember him?) has just bagged a hat trick for Barnet.

A hat trick from centre midfield (apparently)(BBC)

To go with his own goal on Saturday when playing left back! (again BBC)

Nicke Kabamba (remember him?) has just bagged a hat trick for Barnet.

I think that's his level, scores constantly down there but the EFL looked a step too much. Maybe we should have persevered with him ?

Bit of a fall, just like Lee Tomlin who we were supposed to be looking at last season, he's now turned up at and turns out for Harborough Town.

Not been tracking the scorers for a while, but one name that seems to keep popping up is Danny Rose.

He made 44 starts for us and 43 further appearances off the bench in all competitions..... 7 goals.
He then went to Stevenage and made 36 starts and a further 16 sub appearances.... 9 goals.

This season he is at Grimsby and has made 18 starts, never come on as a sub and has bagged 7 goals, including scoring in his last three games.

Another former Cobblers striker albeit on loan, James Collins, is now into double figures for Derby with 10 goals in all competitions, five of those coming in back to back games last week.

[Carton Lid]

Former Cobbler, Junior Morias came on as a sub for Notts County yesterday. I didn't know he was there.

[DrillingCobbler]

Our favourite goalkeeper still continues too give so much!

LOVED Richard Hill, so nice to see him on the telly as a winner.

Emyr Huws (remember him) has announced his retirement at the grand old age of 30.
Probably a recurring neck injury, from watching the ball sail over his head during Boothroyds tenure.

30 years old and only 145 senior games. That probably wasn't part of the dream as a Man City youngster.

Mr "Im too good for league two" still has a very high opinion of himself.
