    Disagree on Anthony O'Connor. He was good to a point but panicked when closed down or when he went too far up towards the halfway line and looked to get rid of it quickly either with a long kick or shoving it to someone else nearby to sort out.

    Just can’t do that in modern football. Ref didn’t even give a foul.Very fortunate.

    Totally agree Idle. Foulds has been growing into his game really well. His assist for Angol against Vale was class. Not sure Adams is so good at player psychology - the lad does nothing wrong and in fact plays at a strong consistent level throughout his recent spell and is immediately back on the bench. He really does like playing the younger ones!

    He put Ridehalgh back in becuase he's arguably been our most consistent defender after Canavan.

    As you say we had 3 on target and Northampton had just the one.

    But is it right that we are setting up our team to counter the opposition when we're playing at home or should we be playing to our strengths (whatever they are)?

    He probably did I didn't know the circumstance. Personally I would pick Ridehalgh every time if available.

    Been on loan at Blyth since last February, and having a storming season. Assuming he will come back to us in the summer and slot in as a direct replacement for JT??

    It would be nice if he did. He did ok in his spell at right back but never really looked comfortable going forward and always liked like an o.o.p centre half.

    He has the physical attributes though so it's not completely out of the question and it'd certainly be a help to the budget as I can't imagine that he's a high earner.

    I think he Alexander thought he’d be an asset he would have recalled him.

    Do we need to offer him a new deal to keep our options open for claiming compensation from wherever he ends up?

    Having seen him play a few times in the NLN his defending hasn’t been noticeable either way but his playing out of the back has and the decision making with that. He’ll move forwards with the ball and see what’s on

    I was thinking more as a cheaper squad filler instead of lumps of wood like Taylor.
