Northampton Match Thread Carabao Cup KO 3pm 08/08/2026

[DAS Boot]

Need to buy a massive bin and put Skipp, Mavididi and Okoli in it.

 

Disgustingly awful half of football.

Mods, can we introduce a feature on here where AI detects moaning about moaning so we can automatically filter them out? Would donate a bit each month for it.

But while its being tested most of the posts on here would disappear...

[Blueman1967]

Not been a great watch

[Groby_Blue]

Clean sheet, a goal, the right hand side looks promising and Skipp has been a busy b'stard and at least looks interested. 

 

Everything else is pretty much the same as the last two seasons.

I am just looking forward to seeing a good attacking game

You won't see anything of the sort under this manager.

 true.

[EnderbyFox]

Can see why we aren’t bothering to sign a striker, the ball goes nowhere near the opposition box so what’s the point

Haven’t been watching but have the usual suspects (senior pros) been crap? 

Yes

 

Right side of youngters with Joseph, Braybrooke, and Alves has looked good

 

Left side of senior pros with Thomas, Mavididi, Cullen has been crap

 

Both centre backs really struggling with passing

 

Skipp has been meh

 

Bob Reid is just non-existent

I mean.

 

Jesus Christ if we play that like all season the best we can expect is 10th.

All possession with no substance. 

Constantly passing around the back when players are driving forward. No attacking intent. Multiple mistakes.

 

Take away the possession and Northampton have been the much better team all round. They look much better

Mavididi and BDCR absolute passengers

 

JJ looks good

 

Alves is wasted on the right needs to be played centrally or from the left.

No surprise there then. Re your first line. 

[urban.spaceman]

Absolutely ****ing dreadful

Everyone in that lineup needs to be binned apart from Joseph, Braybrooke and Alves.

[davieG]

What’s with the drinks / tactics break will they be serving up cups of tea in November 

[Dahnsouff]

Braybrooke 

Most of the rest - must try harder

Stephy - must try

Can’t take much from this moving forward, but **** me once again we are so boring to watch 

What’s changed, it’s just more of the same tippy tappy stuff, where’s the aggression 

[Gazza3]

Pretty dull . Far too slow.m loads of backwards passing and not much intent . Usual suspects need to be binned off. 

[Rubbersoul]

MARTIN OUT 

[Iwebema]

Positive

 

The right hand side trio Joseph, braybrooke and Alves has been bright, just a bit sloppy at times.

 

The press off the ball is much better.

 

Souttar, even though you can tell hes holding back a bit, still defending well and organising.

 

Alves wants to take the full back we need to encourage him to do more of if and build some confidence

 

Braybrooke in general, best player in the pitch.

 

Negative 

 

Too slow with the ball

 

Okoli trying to play it out from the back....

 

The same old faces Mavididi and BDR in particular are killing us trying to create anything, theres no movement for anyone to even try and thread a ball through. We desperately need a striker or 2.

 

 

 

 

[Unabomber]

I’m gonna watch the second half so should improve

Are you moaning about moaning about moaning about moaning? 

[Vaz]

That was a tough watch. 

[The Doctor]

God, the boos when we're 14th with 3 home games in a row without a goal in mid november are gonna hit like crack.

Lack of tempo and vertical threat.

 

Every one coming to the ball make it impossible to open them up.

80% possession
