Can’t believe I paid £10 for this shower of shit, they’re absolutely clueless
Usual cup game meltdown by our posters.
I assume we won't be playing this formation against Wednesday?
Its 3-0.
The defending is pathetic again
Sol I love you but Jesus you’ve lost it
Might as well just send the youngsters on
Has he made any changes?Quote:

Surly it's a refund for the poor sods who paid a tenner.
I thought one of the aspects of starting from where we left off was to not fanny around with the formation?
Our biggest defeat at Northampton is 4-0, on new year's day 1997. Still time to match that.
This is our 7th fixture against Northampton in cup or playoff competition (considering some 2 legged affairs). We beat them in the FA cup in 1937 but they've knocked us out on each of the 6 occasions since.
Sang for at least showing some quality in 5 minsQuote:

As for today it sounds like a real shambles...certainly not worth a tenner.... Newport 2 Swansea 0....
People are annoyed that we're losing 3-0 to a league one team. Should we pretend it isn't happening? Remember when we got the final of this competition and took Liverpool to extra time and penalties? Now it's a ****ing training game and it doesn't sound like whatever NH is trying to do is working. Let's all have a ****ing disco.Quote:

Even the bookies had us as favourites so it seems our normally poor cup runs has continued against a team that was in League 2 last season. Pathetic.
We get 3 opportunities at Trophies, at we're out of one of those before the season has really started. We've capitulated in cups for nearly a decade now. If it was the U23's there would be a little more sympathy but this team has at least 8 of the starting 11 in. It's simply not good enough.Quote:

Terrible performance. No positives whatsoever 🤬

Apart from poor individual and collective performances all over the pitch we also saw the 3/5 at the back set up abandoned half way through the second half - just as it was abandoned last season after the fiasco at QPR on New Years Day. Is that the end of it and the end of playing Osei-Tutu and Bennett as wing backs? And the end of Sol as a starting CB?
The only positives were Alex Smithies and Tom Sang.
You'd hope soQuote:

No time for sentiment. Shouldn’t have been given a contract extension in the first place.Quote:

I don't mind Harris changing up the formation, we switched to it in a couple of games to see out matches post lockdown and it looked ok.
Ultimately we are just poor in the cups, certainly since 2012.
To be fair if there is a season to not have too many cup matches its probably this one. Not that it makes me feel much better about the result but it is what it is.
Couldn't agree more - pay him up and feck him offQuote:

I kind of get it if they see him as a future coach or potentially even as a manager, but from a playing point of view its madness, he's past it now unfortunatelyQuote:

If I was in charge of the finances rest assured we wouldn’t be in this situation.Quote:

Didnt play to Glatzels strengths again.
Seriously him and some others need to be mafe available for frees.
A bad day just got worse. England go 0 - 1 up against Iceland in the 89th minute.
Calm down dearQuote:

"I don't think the system was an issue, I think personal duels was an issue," Harris said after the match.
"Outfought, outrun, outbattled, outcompeted. It doesn't matter what system you play, if you lose your duels in a football match, you're going to lose nine games out of 10."
Harris claimed his team went about the game like a pre-season friendly, while the Cobblers treated it like a cup final and, ultimately, it was that desire to win and be better than their opposite number which earned them a spot in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
It is the manner in which City simply surrendered which particularly irked the City manager, who could not hide his disappointment.
"I learned a lot about some of my players today," he added. "The majority of that is not for the good."
Asked if some players had played themselves out of contention for next week, Harris replied: "Well, quite possibly.
"But I don't make knee-jerk reactions and I don't come and belittle my players. It was a poor performance and there is food for thought for next week.
"Some of them haven't done themselves any favours today, of course they haven't, with a poor performance. But you don't judge players over one 90 minutes in the cup before the Championship season starts, you judge them over the course of the nine months I've been in charge and some of them are a lot better players than they showed today."
------
Harris has confirmed he is in talks to sign an attacking player and revealed after the game that he expects his third signing of the summer to be through the door by Monday.
"I expect somebody in the building Monday, just to freshen the group up again," Harris said.
"Today, we were light in the squad, for reasons like international call-ups, great credit to the players, and other boys missing through various reasons.
"It'll be great to get the group back together next week. The young lads have done really well - I thought Tom Sang was excellent when he came on - but some of those are not quite ready to be in the group.
"We will bring more seniors back in the group and the standard of training rises again and the standard within the group and they are the standards I'll be expecting next week against Sheffield Wednesday."
It is what is, it’s a strange start to the season, we haven’t had a proper pre season and we are straight into a cup game with players missing because of international break.
No point reading too much into this result. One of those days.
