Match Thread Northampton

Belief from the fans will always outdo game intelligence and technical ability

 

Vernham only on the bench again surely means he's already confirmed to MH he's gone end of season so MH choosing to look at other squad players in matches instead. Hope I'm wrong as he's one of just a few I'd have kept on.

 

I'm really surprised Evans is playing. He looked painfully slow and a mile off the pace last week. I know Sutton is injured but surely Cooke would be a better option

 

Im wondering whether MH still hasnt made his mind up about Evans?. I reckon Cooke will be looking to move on this summer

 

Maybe, although Evans was so slow last week that would have made my mind up

 

Which ones? Are Burnley playing

 

Im more than sure he has Idle but who else could he play? That’s the issue.

 

I was about to say Cooke again but then how lightweight would we be. Though maybe he has already made his mind up on Cooke?

 

No sure about that I believe its more about managing his recent injury.

 

Cooke and Vernham definite subs, with a look at Angol towards end of second half.

 

Looking at his past record David Rock has never refereed us before, but as you say certainly likes dishing out yellows, and a few reds.

 

We'll lose today, we're going through the motions and Northampton will have that extra motivation

 

And according to Parker, Northampton are L2's set play specialists, scoring aplenty from free kicks.

 

Any other team in that position scores.

Can't even play a simple through ball

S H I T E

 

Sounds like we're doing lots of defending so far.

 

Two opportunities for Cook to get a player through after Ampton mistakes . Dreadful passes!

 

We are looking gash

We waste so much energy trying to play out from the back by reverse and side passing, before it ends up where it was in the first place

So frustrating to watch

 

This game is all about our players showing the manager they deserve a contract. 12 mins gone, and none of them have done anything to persuade Hughes so far. Woeful.

 

The combination of the formation and poor quality of players is resulting in us being woefully inept as an attacking force.

 

Perreira a class above

Great tackle but poor anticipation from Cook
