    The concern for me

    Why would we have to rely on him when we are one point off top without him for the most of the season? The hope is that he can come in and contribute to a team which is already flying, if he doesn't do as well as we hope we have still been going well without him in the team anyway.

    32000 crowd

    11,649 apparently, probably bullshitting it again like they did last fixture.

    Thomas is in his 4th season now, you'd have thought he would have shown signs of progression by now

    Northampton Town (FA Cup) Match Thread

    I think when we were shit last season there was an acceptance we were shit so no one really moaned about it as much. Now we're a good league 1 team everything that's not perfect gets jumped on and amplified x100. I remember the 2-0 away win at Walsall last season and I said that was our best...

    This is the sort of overreaction I was referencing in my other posts

    Let's Just Hope

    How do you mean all our eggs in one basket? It's not like we has a chance of winning the FA Cup is it? At the start of the season we could only realistically win two things, the JPT and promotion. Are eggs have been in one basket since the Yeovil match

    Your right it does ebb and flow, some fans need to understand this and stop going nuts every time it flows not exactly the way they would like it to and realise it won't always flow that way. All teams from 1st to 24th will have ups and downs on the way but at the end of the season you will...

    Defensive cover

    Nothing wrong with analysing and critiquing a particular performance. I said at the time when we went through a dry spell in front of goals that things would pick up again and Armstrong would start banging them in again and at least we were still picking up points and I was scoffed at. It just...

    Defensive cover

    You forgot a few weeks ago we were struggling for goals, Armstrong had been worked out and people didn't know where the goals were coming from and it was a massive concern.

    Armstrong plays in the u19s is it? Have they announced there squad? Pretty sure he will be unavailable but hopefully not.

    We've still been picking up points the last 5 weeks haven't we? In fact we are on our best run of the season

    Defensive cover

    The moanings and voices of discontent have increased as our results improve, I don't understand it. We are on our best run of the season but the last 6 weeks the fans just seemed disheartened and unsatisfied for some reason.

    Probably moan our goal difference isn't high enough

    Mowbray is on the hunt for a new defender, have patience and he will bring in the right personal like he did in the summer. Lots of football to be played yet this season.

    Spine of the team

    Think its largely dependent on either retaining Armstrong, or replacing his goals if he leaves. The squad as it stands today i.e including all loans is more than good enough to comfortably finish in the play offs. Add in a competent replacement for Reda and its good enough for auto. I'm just...

    Spine of the team

    Some people are, didn't you read percy posts on the last few pages. Northampton are 5th in league 2 and probably better than quite a few teams in the bottom half of league 1 anyway so they aren't that poor. Your argument that we have a poor squad is that we failed to win with 11 players...

    Spine of the team

    Yes I think it was but not a sure thing, we had 11 players unavailable and we still put out a team good enough to win the match. How does that translate then to we have a poor squad, the fact that people are saying the team was good enough to win is surely an endorsement of the squad depth?

    Spine of the team

    In comparison with Man City. Yes it is poor In comparison with other league 1 teams. No it isn't
  19. SkyBlue_Bear83

    Spine of the team

    The fact we managed to put out a semi competitive/recognisable team with 11 players unavailable is a success in itself.

    Spine of the team

    Unless your Man City you can't plan for 11 players missing (9 first team players and two fringe players)
