Thank you for that that positive post Neverbrite

I'm looking for the side to be set up to attack and entertain and win comfortably. Too many of the recent games have been a poor advert for L2 football and not worth the entrance money. We've had a week to prepare so I'm looking for us to come flying out of the stalls.

Home games this season:

Won 13 Drawn 2 Lost 3 Goals for 35 Goals against 14

Last ten matches home and away:

Won 6 Drawn 1 Lost 3

Last ten home league matches:

Won 9 Lost 1

Exactly what stats are you looking at to explain away that scouts are finding ways to nullify us? 

Clubs are finding it harder at Sixfields but away from home the clubs at the top of the division have all worked us out this season.

Tisdale and Exeter had us wrapped round their little finger. Their game plan was to keep the tempo high, the ball in play (no conceding of unneccessary set pieces), nullify Akinfenwa to take him out of the game and attack our makeshift right back who is only in the team for his long throw. The same gameplan that Gillingham, Rotherham, Chesterfield etc. have all had against us. The only "box" they didn't have to tick was doubling up on Hackett because he didn't play. You do all of the above and you stop us away from home.

Quite simple and really quite worrying. I don't hold much hope for the play-offs if that's our destiny this season mainly because we've got to play an away leg. It'd pretty much be a gimme that we'd lose it 2/3-nil in my opinion.

Weii I was at the game and we more than held our own upto the own goal. Even by half time Exeter had failed to make much of an impression. The explanation for poor away form is generally due to an ineffective midfield. Hornby and Harding are too similar in style and Harding often goes awol in away games. To suggest that teams have worked us out away is too simple a suggestion. To me at least if the midfield can get half a grip on the game the points will follow.

I'm looking forward to the match and hopefully three points. If it's attractive, flowing football then that will be a bonus. Let's just get out of this 'orrible league!

Just like Noddy?

[betamax toploader]

Looks nothing like him!

[Rodney]

thankfully he requires international clearance so we will be saved having to mark TWO ex-England internationals. I would love to know how a club on gates of 1,500 can afford Beattie and Jeffers.

And it would appear, that the supporters coach, has 23 people on board.
What do you think, South Stand closed tomorrow?

I'm going for a 3-0 win for the cobblers! Feeling confident.

[Clint]

I'll be very happy with a 1-0 win, but it would nice to rebuild our goal difference

Its about time we properly sorted someone out at home and goal difference could be very important soon.

[wrigleys]

Feeling very confident, 8-1 to the Cobblers, Bayo gets the lot, including the Accy goal. All penalties.
