If the result is a win tonight it does put Venus in a stronger position. I think we can wait a few more days on the manager thing.

Really? It's a pointless game in a pointless competition.

We controlled the game to be fair, did they make many changes to the 11 or was it their first team?

That stand is awful, couldnt see down the other end.

Not pointless if it gives the lads the push they need in the league.

Sounds like Bigi is playing well, amazing what a short term contract at a level he believe's he is better at can do to a lads performance over a few games.. Needs to keep the standard up and clubs will be back looking for the reasons why a prem club paid a decent fee for him in the past.

Waiting for the MRI and then the surgeon will schedule the ACL reconstruction. Think that's me retired!

3?! That one on your middle leg was technically an extension, not reconstruction!

Don't really think it's pointless....remember the Crewe game where we were all planning a day out to Wembley (even you??) and the disappointment at the eventual (inevitable) conclusion?

Just got back. Good game with some great goals. Nice to see JJ get off the mark and Reuben's goal was sublime.

Overall a decent performance, it builds a bit more confidence, Bigi was our best player out there so deserved his MOTM, Ghadzev again flattered to decieve, I think 40 minutes had gone before I remembered he was actually playing...Ah well deserved victory against a poor Northampton side

Why does everyone rave about a day out to Wembley? It only means something if the competition means something surely? Otherwise it's just another shitty lower league game but a bit further away?

I think the lack of atmosphere probably brought the players down do you think torchy?

Indeed. However, he will leave for free at the end of this season...

Enjoyable game. Was a bit flat in parts but we passed the ball well and held onto possession for the most part. Bigi was MOTM (not bad considering he's non league standard apparently) worth going just for Reubens goal. I said I was going to enjoy it and I did.

Despite the poor attendance I surprisingly really enjoyed the game tonight. Must admit I've grown to quite like the competition (although boycotted the U23 as it's a complete joke), but cheap midweek games, genuine chance of a trophy and trip to Wembley? What's to dislike? Yes it's against teams our history suggests we shouldn't be playing but I enjoy it for what it is.

In regards to the U23 sides everywhere, why don't they just go back to have a reserve league like years ago. The reserve team are for up and coming youngsters mixed with first teamers coming back from injuries etc. I thought that worked fine.

Agree with this. Remember City getting a gate of 12 000 for a reserve game in the 60s. Played in competitive leagues.

For me I rather we prioritise on L1 and try to get out the mess we are in. That is more important than this sub standard competition. Not saying I don't like it or enjoy it but we need to get our league position in check first.

That's completely fair enough & I do agree the league is more important. It's just refreshing to be able to stand some chance of winning something and more importantly attend cheap, and generally entertaining football (although Burton in our first ever jpt game is possibly the worst gsme I've ever been to

have to say that GB, with great assistance from CMc completely ran the show,
lovely crisp, first time passing, & pleasing composure that is starting to run throughout the team

Makes no difference if they leave for free or a massive fee it never gets invested back.

Couldn't make it tonight as on my drive home from work a lad got knocked off his bike on Cheveral Ave and so was stopping the traffic and getting them to turn round in the absence of the police.
