Yep fortune and Phillips at fault for first goal and you could argue Phillips got pushed
2nd goal was down to Burge. Ricketts wanted the short pass as we usually play but Burge decided to boot up the pitch. Came straight back and they scored. Ricketts tore him off a strip.The Cobblers player grabbed Phillips and threw him to the floor. He can't be blamed at all. Thomas should've headed the ball and Fortune should've cleared too as you can see here https://twitter.com/cj_covblaze/status/663066271727140864
As for the second goal Ricketts has a lot to answer for https://twitter.com/cj_covblaze/status/6663065670171643904

It's too early to write Finch off but the omens aren't good.Yeah both not good enough and both have been found out along with Finch that they are not good enough to be playing for us currently. If it wasn't for out paper thin squad i think it's safe to say neither would be near our first team squad.
He does get involved and does break up play. He's a useful player to have around and despite my comments it's possibly unfair to write him off on the basis of one game.He doesn't get involved, he doesn't break up play, he routinely gives the ball away, passes rarely find anyone in a blue shirt. He's not a youngster any more. He's played plenty of football. His game isn't improving and he doesn't add anything to the team. I would get rid.
All personal opinion, of course.

...unfair to write him off on the basis of one game.
Maybe It's where his head Is at currently?
Think there's potential still there, still a player In him
His size doesn't help but there been plenty of full backs In game over the years no bigger than him.
Maybe It's where his head Is at currently?
Could he be developed into a defensive midfielder.
If It's to do with his head maybe he needs a move and a fresh start.
he isnt phillip lahm!
I did wonder if the little twitter kerfuffle that his Dad was involved in, ref: him being dropped seemingly (from his POV) for no reason, had in fact affected him quite a lot?
I think its apparent Mowbray doesn't have faith in him and I do think that affects him.I did wonder if the little twitter kerfuffle that his Dad was involved in, ref: him being dropped seemingly (from his POV) for no reason, had in fact affected him quite a lot?

Martin came into the team and Ricketts played at right back.Who played In his place that day, I can't remember?

As a result the path appears blocked for progression for 5-6 players who came through under other regimes and I have to say alleluia for that,as I think we can see the Impact on the pitch.
Hmm, it could of course be argued that we affect the long term progression for short term gain.
Personally I'd put it down to being a little more prosaic, that some players look better under certain managers. Andy Whing's a top example, looked great when he burston the scene under McAllister (was... alright I suppose under Adams), but ropey under Black and onwards.
Sometimes, personalities and styles just mesh or otherwise.
The result was very near two relegations as a consequence.
Or third choice, quite Injury prone himself too, which has hampered his progression.A bit unfair really, in that the Sixfields season had -10 points and despite that we competed well for much until falling away.
Last season was... odd. Arguably Pressley caused some of it with his (lack of) man management.
I dunno, ever since Adebola came back a different player, I've been reluctant to write anybody off. tbf Phillips has yet to show anything other than (maybe) potential and he's in his 20s now?
But also tbf he's currently the reserve right back... and what better option would a League 1 club have for the reserve right back?
