I don't see why you have to be so critical when others suggest that the Cobblers style of play this and last season is less than pleasing on the eye. I would have thought that was a statement of fact. I actually think that we have quite a few players who are quite useful, it's just that they have been taught to sit back, defend like dogs and hoof.  20-30% possession will not see us winning many games. Perhaps things will 'evolve' over the next 10 games and opinions may change.

Yes it is fact; unfortunately we do not have the players to justify a more expansive game. Holmes in the Championship season is a good example of what is possible. It’s a relatively rare occurrence to have a Holmes or even an Goode in the side. So KC adopts his team to the resources available.  Would advise you to expect several more performances similar to the Fleetwood game. It’s a pity some expect displays which then chronically disappoints, then exhibit woeful disillusioned comments. Some even have a fixation of anti club rhetoric against current management. They may well be correct in their opinion but seem to ignore/blind to the current financial situation. As far as I can remember it has always generally been the case here! Don’t see the
point in expressing the same negative comments ad finitum ; perhaps a change of scenery might help you?
Have a good Christmas and be alert!

Once again. Why do you feel that it is your responsibility to moderate this board and suggest that members have 'a change of scenery?'
Maybe you should take heed of your own advice?

I think you have missed the point as it is not uncommon on here for punters to express similar comments yet receive no admonishment from you. At the end of the day, it is merely my opinion. Unfortunately due to the current polarised views on here regarding KC's playing style those with the loudest shout assume they are right. Anybody who challenges their views is invariably mocked with personal repetitive l comments. I don't feel the necessity, the responsibility, or even the desire to moderate this board at all. Perhaps some of the more extreme recent polarised comments on here are more worthy of your attention. Not everybody shares their views and know enough on here that that is a shared view. Incidentally, my post was in reply to Sainty and not meant as a riposte to all on here:Smiley.  Apologies for apparent ambiguity.

This is a forum, the point is that everyone participating feels they are right and/or enlightened and share their thoughts/views/opinions with others.

If the subject matter in-hand generates polarised views, then so be it.

It's called the fine art of discussion/debate.

I think a large number of board members have taken a "change of scenery" due to the postings of some on here.

Thanks for the lecture Cool But your second sentence reveals your misunderstanding of debate. Generally, my view is that you either disagree or agree on a given subject. Some can merely accept the opinions but sooner and later they will agree/disagree on something. If you don't challenge an opinion either way the Forum merely becomes a news media to interested parties. Clearly, you generally(imo) prefer a more passive viewpoint which given the polarity of views on here is commendable.

Out of interest, do you speak or socialise with anyone else on a daily basis other than on this message board?

What a strange question; of course, have a spread of relatives around the Northampton area including two sons. Like many on here am wary of public gatherings. Am also a member of a few Clubs\Institutions.

How about you - do you socialize publically? Do let me know:Smiley

Possession stats of many teams at the weekend seem to continue to support Curle's line of argument. For example, Spurs had 31% against Arsenal yet were always in control. I still think we need a less error prone defence though to allow us to win many with our lack of possession.

Yet we had 29% and lost!

Goes to show, its not necessarily about how much possession you have, but what you do with the possession that you have.

Spurs can play the way they do because they break quickly on the counter and have pace and quality players to put away the few chances they create. Then when they haven't got the ball they defend as a team and are solid at the back.......you can hardly compare them with us!
