Welcome back fella and a happy new year! Look forward to your snippets... Do you think we'll also try to offload Hylton this month?

Would be right thing to do for all parties but where would he go? Surely Brady must be thinking about it.

The stadium isn't big enough (or in a decent enough state) to sustain League One football. The relevant people will know this and have put together their calculations to justify their approach as it is. Doing the best with the current squad, improving it where possible within a tight budget.
Except when there was Chinese money to invest when have our current owners ploughed big money into making us a League One proposition? The Goode money was not reinvested. Neither was the Carney money (as far as I can gather).
We currently sell virtually all the best viewing seats at Sixfields so other than raising prices at a time of a cost of living crisis how do we propose generating the income for sustaining League One football?
PS I had one of the best seats in the East Stand last season (saw all 23 home games) - end of aisle, near the centre. Very good view, got absolutely soaked at least 5 times.
Cracking post, couldn’t agree more.

Why would we offload D.H now? We clearly can afford him so let’s be positive and continue to support our players until the season is over.

It might help Brady make his mind up about DH if he started him for a few games and give him a run in the team, he was banging them in last season in the championship, so I think he might be able to find the net in the pub league that is L2.

Hylton scored 4 goals for Luton last season, I doubt if that qualifies for "banging them in".

Emmm that’s 2 leagues higher than he is currently in, what I am trying to impart is evidence based FACTS that show he’s able to score given the right service, last year, he played in the Championship play off semi final so I guess he must be OK?

Perhaps we are one of the clubs interested in Marriott after all - isn’t he from Northampton originally?

Facts and Evidence are two legal terms that are used with difference. They are generally understood as one and the same thing to an untrained litigant, but strictly speaking they are different. Fact is a truth that can be proven. On the other hand evidence is something that is told by someone.

In the "pub league" DH has so far scored 0 goals in 677 minutes (according to transfermarket). He has also missed clear chances in that time that many on here, probably yourself included, would have berated a supposedly lesser player for missing. He clearly has pedigree and I'm not sure he should be written off just yet, but I can certainly understand why JB is not thinking of starting him anytime soon.

Radio Northampton were commenting on Hoskins to Wednesday rumour before the game. Pretty dismissive off it, but not sure where that's come from?

He scored zero times in the previous two seasons, so that's 1.3 goals a season in The Championship. Unfortunately he looks off the pace

This. If his all round play was decent then the lack of goals would be less of an issue. However, he got 20 minutes today and did very little other than constantly lose the ball and get booked for haranguing the referee. The moment when he tried to knock it past the defender and run to collect it only to get comfortably outpaced summed it up for me. I can forgive some loss of athletic ability at 33, but poor decision making like that from a player of his pedigree is a real headscratcher. The bare minimum for an experienced forward in that situation is to hold the ball up, win headers and keep momentum going up the pitch but I'm struggling to think of a single time when he did that. If that sounds harsh it's just that I expect a lot more from a player of his stature.

I totally agree with that mate - physically he looks shot to bits. I think I could run him close in a 50 yard sprint and I’ve got two dodgy knees. Unfortunately I can’t see it working out for him here (I’m hoping the Irchy cob reverse psychology will kick in).
