Is the physio a new face who also needs time to gel? Surely we can’t make a sub without first understanding from Keogh if he can carry on. Poor that we were so hasty with bringing him off.
That Joe Low run sounded amazing. Unfortunately they were busy showing a replay of the prior shot - not just the shot, but the aftermath of the Northampton player looking disappointed as he slowly walks towards Stryjek. Sigh.
Another game where we are generally too passive & static, we seem content to sit in at the back & let them run onto us. Our midfield is non-existent as more often than not are being by-passed by Northampton passing round us & our defence hoofing it over their heads. Scowen has dropped deeper & deeper to try to get the ball but it means he has no out ball once he gets it as Potts has drifted out of the game & Wheels has gone deep to help out.
The lack of off the ball movement by us is limiting our passing opportunities & leading to us giving the ball away far too often. Our transition play today is the worst I have seen in a long time & has left us hoping for set piece opportunities.
This looks exactly like around 80% of Ainsworth games to me. No possession, no shots, hang on for dear life and hope for some set pieces. This kind of performance used to get lauded on here.

Keogh looking a bit angry with both Bloomfield and some goons behind the dugout there.

Not convinced in any of the loanees yet. Although I know some really like Taylor and Boyes.
In fairness there is a difference between playing ugly but effective football, and ugly but ineffective football.
Not only does it look like we just met, but that we are meeting on a speed date.
Sounds like it's all kicking off. Superb.
If we're trying for a possession centric system, I'm not sure Gape would fit.
Is he better than Potts? That's a different debate
Glad we’ve not got their keeper
The Cobblers' keeper looks absolutely woeful.

Is winning not effective?
Really concerning performance tactically. It’s laughable we’re winning this.
If we're trying for a possession based system, 27% is possibly not cutting it anyway.
I missed the goal, and this is a bloody hard watch, tempted to take the dog out for a walk see if it gives us a bit of luck !

Six passes!
Hoskins is really impressive
At times we're making them look like prime Real Madrid, if we hang on you might have a point but there's a long way to go before that.
Just looking at the shot count and... Fkn hell. Is it THAT bad?
Oh Kane
To be fair Hanlan has looked a breath of fresh air since coming on
How is that not a free kick and a yellow for simulation?
KVY has been very good going forward. Then completely lets himself down, having an easy pass on, turns pointlessly then toe-pokes it to their guy
He’s been very good - impressed with his attitude
Ooh, dear. KvW that was nearly fatal.

KVY even.
Who?
Yeah, it’s pure Gazball this half.
Excellent. We won games under Gaz.
