[Archived] Northampton

Sensible not to change a winning team. the new additions means those starting know they need to perform,or they will be the ones on the bench. Great to see such competition.

And no Ward. Even Caddis gets there in front of him.

What a strong bench it is, though. At least if our "business as usual" team doesn't deliver by early in the second half, all of the options are there for us off the bench.

Yes after a lot of tinkering early in the season, good to see a settled side.

BUT

From the way we couldn't break them down when it mattered in Northampton, I would have liked to have seen at least one of the new flyers from Kick-off. Might be too late to be subbing using brand new players at the 60 minute mark.

As everyone says, it is a very strong bench and regardless of any reservations should win this. Going for 2-0.

I like how he has not started some of the new guys. Sending a message to the players on the pitch that if you perform you keep your place - if not we have some players tearing at the bit to show that they can.

Not sure how long the likes of Payne and Armstrong will like it though.

Ward was probably our best player on the day away Northampton, but not required today.

We should dispatch this lot with ease, poor poor side if the away games anything to go off.

Let's not forget Northampton have won their last 3 league games, so they will be feeling confident, I assume.

Still, we should be winning this if we want a top 2 place.

Looks like a settled first XI and a promising bench. Just wondering where are Whittingham, Evan, Gladwin, Lenihan Antonsson Chapman Ward all gonna fit in if we have a full strength squad.

Conway just cost us a goal

Airshot on the edge of their box leaving them to break

Northampton 1-0 , counter attack

Scunthorpe winning 

[JacknOry]

We always concede one - right team, get on it!

[Gogger]

Williams just turns his back and runs back to his left side, leaving his man which then scores. Great stuff from Conway...

Did he allow them to run 60 yards unimpeded?

Mulgrew coming off and no Central defender on bench

Bad to worse

but after that , their number 19 ran two thirds of the pitch un-challanged before passing

Bugger. Need to dig deep - got to be winning games like this if we want to go up automatically.

Mulgrew injured - double bugger! Knew he was doing too well injury wise this season.

His mess up meant nobody was close enough, Nyambe held him up well but then a good cross came in  

[benhben]

Mulgrew doesn't look good. Looks like a knee injury. Big blow. 

 

Slow start from rovers. Their goal came from our corner. 

[Stuart]

Worst nightmare

When i saw the Bench, I did think that - typical that it happens when we have none on the bench. Nyambe to middle and Caddis on?
