Typical Stanley...doing it the hard way. The officials were rubbish mind you, but that's no excuse for the rubbish we served up The quest for those three points goes on!
Early Cobblers' thread
- Thread starter Exile on Spencer St
- Start date
It's simple, Smudgie. We abandoned the high tempo pressing game which has served us so well recently. I really don't want to hear JB saying the usual "I can't fault the lads" after that show.
Was talking to a Scunthorpe fan last night who said,besides us,they were the best team to visit them,big,strong,physical and well organised.
Looks like they did a job on us,so we just have to re-group and move on KTF

Easily the worst game I have seen ALL season terrible performance by our lads, more hit and hope than playing to our strengths on the deck instead their 2 central midfielders lapped it up...and we had NO midfield bite.
When are we going to learn from OUR throw ins to throw it to ONE of ours and Keep possession we lose far too many of these ?
Absolutely no consistancy or style about us today, not good enough....
especially after so wonderful on the road in the 2 previous games.

Gray and Hatfield both worked their socks off with absolutely awful service. Personally I think the criticism should be aimed at the following:
odejaye - can't put more than 2 performances in once he gets his place back in the team, never won a header, took root in the middle of Northamptons half
molyneux - gave us absolutely nothing all day
back 4 - looked as though they had never played together before, gifted them a goal and tried to do it a couple of times after that. Also humped every ball as far as they could for a static odejaye and 5'-10" gray who needs the ball to feet or space.
JB - our set pieces are dreadful - hardly ever miss the first man and when we do hardly ever look like scoring, also game was dead after 55 minutes, 3 attacking subs required
Without Pierro or kal in the team we have zero creativity, with odejaye in the team we go route 1 all day and he goes from 6'4" to 5'-3" when he jumps
Havnt heard JB interview yet, but will be interesting to see if he trots out the usual drivel
Can't argue that the Better team won we were poor
I don't mind losing if I see a performance but that was hard to stomach today
Shame as it looked like moe people in the Home Ends today won't be in too much of a rush to come back on that showing.

To be fair just seen JBs interview - fair play to him honest assessment, credit to him I'll go back in my box
Poor defending and a lack of emphasis on playing high tempo passing football is what cost us today. Chesterfield and Morecambe performances showed us what the benchmark has to be in order to beat teams we need to be fast out of the blocks and get pressure on the opposition.
The goal was a shambles by our defence, they just walked through our defenders and made it look very easy. Kayode looks way off the pace and needs dropping, would've like to have seen subs made much earlier to initiate change a lot quicker. Buxton doesn't look suited to playing left back and think Liddle should start there next week.
Without doubt the worst performance since Dagenham home game.

After the horrendous error that meant the Reds were always going to play catch-up, and the mistake-strewn first half which could easily have resulted in a result being out of sight, I really hoped that with a gee-ing up of our midfield and positive use of substitutes that JB's
Strategy for a more cohesive second a half performance would materialise into something resembling an all-round team effort .
Sadly, this wasn't to be the case, and more of the same plus some resolute defending from a hardworking Northampton midfield and back four, plus the abysmal efforts of another inept trio of Officials, made for a missed opportunity to ensure near-safety and a dull match to behold also !.
Anyway I could be persuaded that this afternoon's non-performance was nothing but a blip on t'Stanleys road to success, and that another of their sterling away performances at York next Saturday will redress the balance .
PS... Whilst, as you know by now I am always ready to champion the rights and efforts of OAP's....I don't think that they should turn up at t'Storefirst masquerading as FA Referees !...and then go on to officiate a match !...as seemed to be the case again today !....and yes, he really did need to go to Specsavers....ASAP !.

as cashy says (Northants were nowt special, but we were worse)
as usual I applauded the reds as the trudged off the pitch at full time
and it was very evident to see the frustration and hurt on our players faces,
yes it was Northants day today but it will be ours tomorrow

...just to add insult to injury, bumped into a group of Cobblers fans celebrating in a pub in Manchester. It's a hard job being a Stanley fan, but somebody's got to do it! ��
Never mind bud can't really blame em. We will be next week, when we get summat at York, Can't play that poor again.
Our three remaining away matches are against play off chasing clubs.
Northampton continue to be a bogey club to us,let's hope they haven't inflicted too much damage?!
