Hi everybody
back in the real world after knee surgery and sounds like a game should have won, but a draw is not a total failure…or was it, will catch up on the match thread later
On to Tuesday and a must win eh👍12 -
Need to find ourselves a goalkeeper in the summer.8

Even with my Jonah away record you won’t see a more 1 sided game , just shows how shit Division 3 is if Northampton are where they are , if we wanna push for promotion next season a new keeper is a start as neither are good enough imo .5

I honestly think that is the most sensible thing you've ever posted.RonnieMoore said:We would have lost this couple of months ago .. as long as you finish the day better then you started then it’s a positive and we have ..people going to pick up on Isted but May missed to very good chances to make that mistake meaningless so let’s get it in perspective… its a good point and 4 more out the next two will be great .
Has his account been hacked?10 -
Would I have taken a draw before the game? Probably.Am I pig sick we didn’t win? Absolutely.12

Avoided defeat against a top half team again.Another point closer.Point on Tuesday, then beat Carlisle and probably only need 3 wins from last 8 games.2

Did they easily beat us? We were in the game until deep into added time and the result was 2-3.There was little between the sides IMO.The Prince-e-Paul said:We'd have jumped above three other teams with the win. Still so tight. A point gained at a team that easily beat us not long ago. Can't keep a clean sheet. Big misses from Alfie and Ladapo cost us as much as Isted's howler.
For those that haven't seen it, a back pass to Isted, he side tapped it 5 yards to his right central and close to the edge of the box. Unfortunately a Cobbler was right there. As Isted scrambled to block the shot the ball is scuffed sideways by the player and another Cobbler can just roll the ball into an empty net with no defenders in sight.
Edit - recklessness cost us a point that day, two today.4 -

Now onto the rehab 💪🏻
What a gutter you couldn’t wake up to 3 points.
That said, results went our way and all in all it was a positive showing from the lads.
Happy with the 4 points from our last 2 games.
Would agree that Cheltenham is a big game but NJ will have it in hand.

Great post, and good stuff about the ball, get it signed.Athletico Charlt
on said:Northampton are a seriously poor side in a tin pot stadium, and we have 1 point from them this season and are a long way behind. Disappointing. Alfie should have scored seconds before they did.
Still had a good day out, off for a nice meal before the train home and my lad brings a match ball home with him so is over the moon!
All in all a decent away day.
As for the meal, hopefully you're going to a Spoons 0 -
Definitely 2 points dropped there, we should've been 2 or even 3-0 up before the howler. That said we have to look at it as another point closer to survival. I think 4 more wins or 3 wins/3 draws should be enough.
We've gone from being rock bottom of the form table to being one of only 4 teams in the division to be unbeaten in their last 5, and all 5 were against top half teams. Now we face 5 bottom half teams, including 3 of the bottom 4.4 -

You’d have taken the point before the game, but to concede like that when we were in the ascendancy was cruel. Daft touch from Isted. I would not want to be him facing jones after that.We’re creating more now, and a first half of the season Alfie May would have had us winning that. T. Watson now looks like he can kick a ball too (left footed shot aside).Green shoots, definite green shoots.7

Can you make the bench on Tuesday? 3 -
don't bet !Doomer Jon said:Thanks Isted mate. £60 you cost me.6 -
Very disappointing to throw it away like that. We definitely need a better goalkeeper. Also, it felt like a step down in quality with Ladapo and Campell on. In recent matches it's felt like we've upped our fire power when making subs, but not today. Other than that though, I think there's a lot to be pleased with. Particularly impressed with Thomas, Gillesphey, Coventry, May and Kanu.2

£900 for me 🤣Doomer Jon said:Thanks Isted mate. £60 you cost me.1 -
Why do we continue to faff about with the ball in a winning position with 10 mins to go. Just get the fcuking ball away.

Conditions made it hard for both sides but we were the better team by a distance. They have to thank Isted for a real gift.0
-
Frustrating as we should have Won at least 2-0
However when you a make a stupid mistake like we did care of our normally excellent Keeper you get punished.
I have great faith that NJ will iron this blip out 👍👍👍👍0 -

I've not read the thread, but am content as I predicted 1-1.
Mind you we would have won that if it wasn't for Louis Mendez.15 -
Gotta love The Jones boy , honestly think we are on to good times with him , even after todays disappointingLouisMend said:4 -
He was worse in those five games than Maynard Brewer had been, so it was only right that he went back on the bench. He's been better since his return, but I'm still not personally convinced. I don't know about you, but I want a keeper that we can be confident of performing for the full 46 matches, not 41 or less.Garrymanilow said:
Well he'd only played 5 leagues games earlier in the season so I guess you'd written him off by then? Cool.Weegie Addick said:Reinforces for me that we must get a new, first choice keeper for next season. I’m not at all convinced by Isted. He nearly mucked up in first half too with one swirling by his post. For the benefit of @Garrymanilow above, I’ve been saying this all season, not suddenly screeching it.Two big matches coming up now v teams below us. Need six points from those.On the positives, new boys REG, Gillesphey, Small, Coventry all excellent today. And Coventry and Dobbo showed they can link up well in the middle.12 -

Without going back on figures, he'd not played 50 games over a number of seasons.Stig said:

He was a cheap option. Is that right Mr Scott?0 -
Any confirmation from Jones that Aneke and Camara was indeed just managing minutes?
I think I would still go Anderson, Camara and Coventry to start vs Cheltenham. And of course Aneke for the 60th minute onwards.2 -

Drop him for Ashley Mainly Bollocks?Hartleypete said:Makes Tuesdays game massive now, unbelievable to throw a game like that. He had nothing to do all day then does that, drop him.
You 'avin a laugh?
He's 'avin a laugh.

Regardless of what Jones says I cannot imagine 'managing minutes' extends to not being on the bench.DamoNorthStand said:Any confirmation from Jones that Aneke and Camara was indeed just managing minutes?

Aneke probably sprained a wrist picking up a pen signing his new 10 years contract.2 -
Disagree, prime Buffon in goal and we would have won that game.Garrymanilow said:Disappointing not to win that. In the end we suffered from having the initiative and not doing anything with it. Missed chances from a few players left us open to an equaliser. Shame that it came from an Isted mistake as he's made the whole defence feel much more assured since he came in and has played well. One mistake and you can already see people screeching how we need a new keeper which is pretty bleak to see from our fans. We should have been in a position where an error wouldn't have taken the win away from us but we didn't and it always felt like if we didn't score again we'd be punished. That's the next stage after adding some drive, determination and more security to our play, it's being clinical. We now go up against three teams who are going to be going hard for survival and we've seen that Fleetwood have no issue scoring at the moment. People can tantrum all they want about Isted making one mistake but it doesn't matter if we put prime Buffon in goal, if we can't take control of games and kill them off when we're in the ascendancy we're going to keep dropping points and risking relegation. Northampton were about as bad as I thought they'd be for a team with nothing to play for, we'll have to step our quality up against the relegation rivals
In fact with a better keeper than Isted or AMB we would have won that game.
Lincoln's keeper the other night was outstanding.2
