Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
Yep, at the end of the day he's moved into a better job, much higher wages, much bigger job in a higher tier with a huge length contract.
Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
Matt did what he thinks best for him and got a job with Luton. And that’s ok
Matt is doing what he thinks is best for him and his job chances - that might include buying one of, some of, our players. And that’s ok. It’s part of the game.
This “Matt is a Judas now” bollocks is just as tiresome as “Dan rice fucked Matt over” because he (they, the leadership) want to run the club with a head coach model and not a “football club manager” model.
It’s harsh on Matt, yes. No one likes the ground moving under there feet and their job not being the one they thought they had, but If anyone was fucked over it was Scott Mitchell.
Edit: and the medical staff that left just before the first game.
Re: Man of the Match - Northampton (H)
In reality, I don't think we've played "well" in the league since Stevenage away. Hoping the new signings give the whole squad a kick up the backside (when they're allowed near the match day squad).

are you blooms in disguise ? he did fantastic for us but he decided to leave us and try raiding us for our best player...he is no saint
Re: Other Football
Another annoying thing about today is that we could have helped Shrewsbury and didn't. They conceded an injury time goal and are back to bottom, 7 adrift, but have been well in every game lately, win lose or draw. A very tough run of matches, so they need to win one or two against the odds and avoid getting cut adrift until the fixtures become more forgiving.
Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
This is a tough place at the moment.
today was a hard watch for reasons people have already said, though ironically I’d have taken 4 points from the last 2 games just not in the order they happened.
Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
The narrative that everything is either black or white is even more so.
There are many shades of grey.
The same black or white thinking is why Twitter has become an absolute cesspool worthy of deletion. Let’s not let this place head the same way.
Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
Not the messiah, just the chap who got us to 2nd while being completely undermined for half a season.
But of course, history is already being re-written because football fans are a bunch of disloyal ingrates people have short memories.
