I'm not apologising for comments made about the clown who destroyed everything that Coughlan had built, but I hope he's turned a corner.
Doubt it somehow, but we live in hope.

Regarding Grant, I actually thought he had quite a good game. The dirtywork he got through allowed others to get on the ball. Mind you, i speak as someone who was a crap footballer but did a lot of dirty work allowing others to get on the ball too.

We can but hope that BG is learning from his mistakes, 2-0 a satisfactory result against a woeful Northamton. Tutonda should be a regular starter, my mom, cool as a cucumber on the ball, creator of time and space.

i am very pleasantly surprised by the result. Northampton seem to be a very 'up & at em , in your face' team, exactly the sort of side I thought we wouldn't want to be facing at the moment. Very early days yet, but here's hoping I will have to write a grovelling apology to Ben Garner at the end of the season. I dont think anybody has a need to apologise ref negative comments about BG, his record is currently awlful. Not sure who he supports, but i dont think he would be all smiles and positive if his supported team had our record. Highlights for me today, how we played against 10 men and that we had over 50 possession, 2nd game running i believe, Tutonga and Hare Negative, he was still banging on about last weeks ref and Grant is just not clicking. Last 5 league games won 2 drawn 1 lost 2. Go with that record. |

We shouldn’t let Ben Garner get away with too much after that performance. We stepped up the pace for a period after half time, pushed forward the wing backs, but there was very little footballing performance or goal threat from us to achieve the crucial one goal lead. There was no real Garner ball on show, or convincing performance until on top. We didn’t play with enough Tempo. Hanlon was excellent again throughout, his opponents this week not of the same quality as recent, and Daly distracted them helped Hanlon. At no point is he looking for a penalty, he is looking to beat his man as he always is, Bolger thought he would try the touch line and covered that, Hanlon dropped shoulder and went the other way. Baldwin scores, but I don’t think much of his defending at all. The more I see of Nicholson the less I like him, he’s not a team player. Hare got into it very well, with a beautifully deft pass into the box. Hare’s breadth away from a score line that would have flattered our off pace performance. Hanlon should have added a second, it was a poor finish really. Stick with the 5 3 2 for a few games. Stick with hare and the midfield three. Stick with Hanlon and Ansii. The rest can be dropped anytime in my book. Can't agree with all of that, JML does not start for me ahead of Daly who deserves a starting place. Tutonda was very good on the ball. |

There was a fear before the game that Northampton would out muscle us and bully us.
Now we have won the thought is that they were poor.
Were they poor because they are poor or because we made them a poor side on the day?

I didn't think we were great, but we were better than them and fully deserved the win small steps... |

Am wondering if we view games differently on TV than being at the game. Generally we watch higher standard football on TV so maybe out expectations are higher.
Watch a fast bowler live at cricket or a fast tennis serve close to court, so much different to seeing it on TV.
Also for many of us, totally different angle or height if you are used to being on the terrace.

Tutonda was very good on the ball. on reflection that is true Mango. I would like to see more of Mr T to form a stronger opinion. I am not a fan of Leahy and his defending. Mr T was enthusiastic, popping up here there and everywhere. That may sound good for fans, but for a manager is it? Probably more license to roam as wing back than in fullback. His performance made me think of something continental, how Spanish and Italians have a leggy geezer up and down the wings making an impression. And I did call for movement off the ball as one of the building blocks of team performance. ultimately though, as we see more of him, his enthusiasm will have match up in stats, such as compared to hare for crosses, key passes, defending and assists. |

Agree, although Hare is not his direct competition and I feel he offers more than Leahy attacking but crucially in composure especially at the back. Loves to bring the ball down and lay it off easy on the evidence of yesterday |

Laughings was a fair point, we didn’t see any sign of our glass chin yesterday. piratey was a fair response. Northampton came for the point. Never loooked likely to do anything from open play. Their nasty streak will cost them points. And if we don’t finish ten points ahead of them this season we are relegated. sometimes you watch us win yet it’s a horrible watch, can’t get the tempo going, can’t get the passing going, sit too deep, it was a bit like that at times, but not bad as that throughout, nor was it awfully encouraging performance, it was somewhere in the middle. |

Sounds like you were a massive coughlan fan so the bad run must have been hard on you. You refer to the bad run using the past tense- it’s very much still a bad run. It hasn’t gone away and I suspect that it isn’t going away any time soon. Yesterday was just one of those random wins Garner gets against a side that rolled over for him. I’ll be surprised if we get another win before 10 league games are up. Also Garner has yet to win a game that hasn’t involved some sort of intervention by the ref either through a red or a penalty or both. Not a pretty stat and one that he will need to overcome ASAP. |

A good view and you do get to see formations and much more than from a standing position, at ground level in my opinion |

So all the trophies and matches ferguson won at man utd need to be looked at again but taking into account interventions by referees? The whole time i played and watched football i was always aware that penalties and red cards are part of the game. Its really strange to find a "football fan" not knowing that. |
