    Oliver and Cook haven’t looked compatible together. It’s probably the reason why Hughes has been reluctant to play them together. I’d like to see Clayton start though.

    Clayton and Costello , absolutely now that Chappy is out for the season. He was a good outlet and foil for Cook before the 3 misses game. Worth a shot again?

    Given the expectation, probably our most underwhelming summer signing so far. I will forgive him if he pops up with winner at Wembley

    Scored his first goal for Barrow yesterday..... it was in the Lancashire cup which nobody really takes seriously, but still.

    Costelloe has never scored a (first team) league goal. Definitely mis scouted by our management, and fully expect him to be released by Burnley at the end of the season. He was not what we needed.

    Rowe had illness problems that did not help.After going to Chesterfield he missed a great chunk of the season,and ended up going back to Fylde.Now at York,so still in the National league.Dont think i will ever forget the goal he scored against Bolton.

    No worries about tomorrow to be honest we will beat them 2-1 Northampton won't settle and our early goal plus one just before half time will seal victory a late consolation for them to appease their fans
    Then on to Crewe this is where we will come unstuck a game we are expected to win always spells defeat
    over confident and messing about at the back will be our undoing 2-0 to them
    Last game home to Orient will be a draw they won't want to lose in front of a good away following (1800) last I heard so will keep us at arm's length without over stretching themselves 0-0
    A play off place will depend on other teams results !!!

    The Cobblers have done remarkably well to sustain their push for autos with their lengthy injury list with players playing out of position.

    I understand their top scorer Hoskins has been playing wing back recently for example.

    Northampton will want to go up infront of their own fans, a win tomorrow guarantees them that. But a win is just as important to us, probably more so in the grand scheme of things. A point could actually be pivotal to our play off chances, it would mean its still all in our hands in the final two games. Its all about getting that playoff spot, there is no one to fear in a three game decider.

    Strange, I noticed that straight away as well, but nobody else seemed to mention it. Platt to me is just a hoof/head it clear defender, whereas Rom, more cultured. Just a shame he dropped a bullock, but that’s his only real mistake to mind. Platt might be more preferable for an Ariel bombardment, but not a play across the back game.

    I bet nobody thought Kelly would be starting.

    I'm really impressed.

    I was mega worried about this one.

    Fingers crossed, the top 7 is set as things stand.
