I didn’t expect one to be fair as the facts don’t lie!!Don’t expect a response, he’s gone, some strange folk in Northampton
Completely agree on not booing players. How does that help? Just gets everyone more pressured and feeling more negativeSounded like a good game to miss.,The Rafio Northampton commentators,( why don’t we get Rad Ox on the audio stream), were making their team out to be as feted as Holland 1974; excrutiating broadcasting.
Several of our best players remain injured and that’s having an impact.
We’d have all taken 5th at Christmas at the beginning of the season though so this gnashing of teeth, (booing players!?) is frankly a bit pathetic.
Preach. I’m with you on all of thatIn 2023 we've gone from what has been described as chaos management with a lack of tactics/instructions/favouritism to a very planned/drilled regime with plenty of staff to the change to Des someone who has no staff, of his own. The players don't know if they're coming or going. Let's judge at the end of the season, suffice to say this last few weeks has put me in one of those very dark football moods
Who would boo their own players when we’re fifth?? Just babies who can’t cope with adversityCompletely agree on not booing players. How does that help? Just gets everyone more pressured and feeling more negative
Our so-called 'injury crisis' is a weak excuse, made by the usual suspects.
Have you actually read this thread?
Not much sign of delusion or arrogance, just the realisation that things aren’t going well at the moment, magnified by the fact that on todays showing we have lost against a poor side.
Anyway, enjoy your Christmas. Hope Santa brings you lots of goodies.
User name is a bit sick by the way.
Havent got a forward though have we?Too many hopes being pinned on the 'assistant manager-in-waiting' here.
This isn't an anti-Buckingham post by any stretch, but we've recruited a new manager from a large pool of excellent candidates for a highly desirable job and massive opportunity.
If said manager is entirely reliant on some guidance from an individual beneath him then for me it completely undermines the quality of that recruitment.
Des should be doing better, regardless of the team around him and a handful of injuries.
We hadnt won for 17 games last season and people still voted wed win games, i on the other hand always vote we lose every game. It means f**k all.Pre match there was 69 that voted.
Only 4 believed there would be a HOME win!
Arrogance, delusional or positive thinkers. It’s Christmas so I’ve changed my mind and I’m going for the later.
Have a good one Yellows.
PS Jim Hall was one of our finest strikers and regularly fixed it for us on a Saturday afternoon- you may not have registered his existence … being non-league at the time.
Is it just the 3 seasons in your entire history that youve been above what is now league 1?Pre match there was 69 that voted.

good point.it was when we were a league club in both of his spells with Northampton!Out of interest what seasons are they?
When we and most sides play tippy tippy football from the back. Have you noticed the opposition doesn't have the ball?Only a couple of months ago we had a squad that was really strong and players not even making the bench that made us think wow we are on a journey. Suddenly injuries to a couple of standouts in Leigh and ???? (No one else really) And we are down to the bare bones.
Long is not good enough in a League One top half side, Browne great on his day but hardly ever plays so don’t consider him a regular and a huge miss, Edwards great for a couple of games but another we’ve rarely seen, Bodin decent League one player but slow and hardly an outstanding must be in the starting 11 player (tho decent squad back up), Negru again decent squad back up but not first choice ?? and Woltman who knows, but can’t consider him a miss as never seen enough evidence of whether there is a quality player ready now for the team or not.
Basically we need more steel, strength and power throughout the side, pretty tip tappy football at the back gets us nowhere and we have a general weakness against any teams of substance and strength. We have had the same old problems for years and nothing changes. We set up the same regardless of the opposition and have gameplan A and no other alternative or answer in the squad or coaching mentality to be any different. We just don’t have enough physicality in the side or the squad in general, we always look smaller and weaker than the opposition, and yes we deliver when the conditions prevail but when the going gets tough we simply don’t get going!
It hurts to say it but it’s fact!
