If Hodge and Kane don’t start on Tuesday then Duff has to be questioned. I’d go further and start all five subs from today. Lapado looked promising and hungry, Spencer got stuck in, Kane and Hodge looked to make things happen and Bojan put himself about. Helik was awful, looked disinterested and clueless. At fault for two goals; I reiterate what the hell was he doing passing back at that speed in that position? He isn’t a captain for me. We looked like the handbrake came off once Hogg was off too. How many times did he  his arms and whine today? You’re part of the problem mate. Headley should never wear a Town shirt again. He’s garbage and has had too many chances to make the shirt his. Stunned with today’s result but you know what, maybe we needed it. I expected us to walk it today and maybe the players did. A short sharp shock which will only have been worthwhile if we beat cabbage head on Tuesday. |

One positive today the guy we got from wolves Nigel Lonvijk looks a class player. Head and shoulders better than any other town player. Heilk and Headley pathetic. Looks bang average to me, culpable for first goal too. Hodge on the other hand looks a player. |

I have it on good authority that Koroma is planning to trial for an NFL team… 😉

Not just that... wrong tactics at the start. Try and beat their CBs with pace - didn't work. He changed it second half but it was too late. Oh Josh Koroma! Converting that penalty may have produced a different result. I'm hoping that the manager and the players will learn from this. Once again it’s shit lower league managers thinking that bang average centre backs can play like van dijk and rudiger. Not to mention Nicholls being Alisson in goal, more like Alison Hammond. Does my fucking head in. |

Unlike one or two, I never thought Helik would leave us for a Championship club. The basic fact is that he lacks pace, although that didn't come into play today.
The thing is that he thought some club from the Championship would come in for him... but they didn't. No one did. He's pissed off and he thinks that he should be playing at a much better standard.
He's had an average start to the season by his high standards. It's up to the management team to get his head right again.

its even harder to understand, that he is part of our "leadership groupd" what about this fella says "leader"? Honestly think one of our biggest problems is you could combine the traits of our entire squad and struggle to create an actual leader. As soon as something goes wrong we panic like fuck and fold. There's absolutely nobody going round calming players down, instead it's absolute panic stations and chaos. Absolutely shocking all round. We are so weak it's a joke we get out muscled but got away with it the first 2 home games and playing out from the back again, we are just not good enough teams press up on us and we are knackered. Very worried by that performance today and while Northampton are a decent side they are not top six material but saying that neither are we. |

Well , no dressing this up.
We were awful today, from start to finish.
Northampton had obviously prepared well and closed us down effectively in the first 15 minutes.
Absolutely no imagination in our midfield and Evans in particular has disappointed me, arriving with such a good reputation at this level.
I’m really not enjoying watching League 1 football, but when you see the likes of Headley you realise that we are at this level for a reason.
Personally, my number 1 biggest gripe over the past 5 years has been the fact that opposition centre half’s never have to work hard against us, with our lack of physical presence up front.
So, the only positive today for me, was seeing Ladapo take them on. He needs to play regularly now.

Looks bang average to me, culpable for first goal too. Hodge on the other hand looks a player. You seriously cannot blame him due to his pass to Helik that was straight to him on the floor. One person to blame for the goal Helik . If a manager expects you to pass to each other at the back don’t blame the player that passes correctly , if his instructions are to pass out way out of defense, which it clearly is this season your barking up the wrong tree . Helik has started the season poorly and needs to up his game and concentration levels he’s nowhere near fulfilling his potential and was 100 percent at fault for the og. |

9% who voted on this result got it right. I think now a lot of fans who have never experienced this level will now know were in for a scrap this season and worryingly we don't have the players who will stand up and fight.
I would say Blackpool are a better side than Northampton so lets wait and see what the team is against Blackpool!!.

Does my fucking head in. We don't overly play around at the back from what I have seen!? Never mind thinking they are Prem players or the like, if we cannot play a few passes round at the back, under very little pressure without the ball ending up in the net in the manner it did, that's a bigger worry to me!! |

Well that was a funny old day. I am away so didn’t see or hear the game. Bolton score their first home goal of the season, and then get 4 more. Charlton, who are above us, lose at home. Wrexham get a win with a late goal after being held for nearly 80 minutes at home. We get our first home penalty in God knows how long and miss it!!
It’s a funny old game football. We will be 3rd if we win on Tuesday though.

Sooner he fucks off the better but it won't be this season sadly. You can trace all of this back to him. Even the fact we're playing fucking Northampton is on him and him only as far as I'm concerned. Big question marks around the latest window already and not just the striker debacle. I'm not a fan of him whatsoever, but you can't lay any blame on him for today. Man for man we have the better team, we were just fucking shit. By any measure, except today’s result, we had a very good summer window. Cartwright has done OK. It needs Duff to get them to be consistently good. |

Does my fucking head in. That's why Warnock didn't piss about at the back when you don't have the players to do it. The more balls in the opp box the more chance of scoring. Let's all copy Pep doesn't work without millionaire players. |

Need to drop this 3 at the back.
Any team with half decent players with pace all they have to do is drop it down the sides and we are fkd
Lees can't run, helik is positionaly poor we have tried this lots and failed.
Need to go to a back 4

Duff needs to act quick after this debacle, certain players need dropping for the Blackpool game because that performance is totally unacceptable. I don't mind losing but its the manner in which you lose, that was embarrassing at times today and fair play to Northampton.

Terrible performance. I'm incandescent. Complacency? Who knows but we certainly did not help ourselves with poor passing, poor possession and terrible decision making from the off. OK the first goal is comedic but it should not have been as fatal as it turned out to be, the game is still there to be won. We continue our poor passing, possession and decision making and it's 2 nil, although is it such a good shot that Nicholls remains rooted to the spot? The most infuriating thing in the 1st half is that we keep making stupid fouls in and around the Northampton box letting them ease the pressure.
2nd half is better but alas still not good enough, still too many misplaced passes and not enough invention to break Northampton down. Fair play to Northampton there were 3 times when their defence made crucial blocks to save certain Town goals. The 3rd goal, I need to see it again to check gor the foul but if there isn't a foul that's cat piss defending from Sorensen.
The crazy happenings around the 80 minute mark, swung the game finally out of our reach. Koroma scores and immediately we get a pen, a golden opportunity, here is where I have to take issue with the ref. If it's a 2nd yellow, then why the delay? Book him and get him sent off? The delay is probably fatal, Koroma has too much time to think and loses his focus and concentration and hits a crap penalty,one we've waited 3 years for!!!
Those defending the ref, give your head a shake, he's had a shocker, how can he give a corner when Koroma clearly headed wide? That wasn't the only thing either, he gave Northampton a corner when it wasn't and the penalty delay was criminal.

What a demise of this club in such a short space of time. Booked a box for boxing day and dreading the score against Stockport County. How the turntables.

Yet people still made the same claims that only a Man City and the like should try and play way🤷🏼 'They' also had Hefele, Lees, Pearson and Hogg by the way! * and as good as O'Brien was, I am not sure you can claim he was instrumental in us playing out from the back! |

If Hodge does not start against Blackpool then I would be asking to cancel the loan and go back. When he came on he was the only player who was holding the ball and driving forward.

The delay with the penalty certainly didn't help but that was school boy stuff today from certain players. Any team who comes here will know exactly what to do, press us and be physical and we are there for the taking.
