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

Usual suspects holding this team back, hopefully this Reid false 9 experiment ends after today, it’s like watching Ayew up front.

 

Alves been the brightest player imo, looks to be the only one trying to do something in an attacking sense.

[sm1]

Lots of pointless passing. Exactly as expected.

A shame he is out on the right as I don't think it really suits him

 

He would look even better on the left or in the middle

Harborough, Anstey and Quorn all winning their opening games of the season 

[RichardGearman]

We need a proper number 9 to poach, which otchere was doing. Expecting russell to have a number 9 in sooner rather than later.

[niyaminski]

I quite enjoyed elements. Clear intention to win the ball back as soon as possible.

 

Shame Mavididi is shit.

[Clogger_]

Oh, anyone mentioning Enzo in the same breath as this (or anything since Enzo) should wash their mouth out!

[Barwell Fox]

Update from Virgin Media - the issue will be fixed within 24-48 hours. Back to Radio Leicester then,

[Dandy king]

Can't believe we are losing this. 

[AKCJ]

Baby tonight, Mavididi is falling asleep again

Embarrassing thread. People just love being glum 

Glad your seing the positives. 

 

1 shot on target, endless pointless passing and should have been 1 down after the first few minutes because of this daft football.

 

Its painful.

[lgfualol]

Just need a focal point in attack and most desire to get the ball in the box.

 

Too much running forward with the ball, getting stuck, then running backwards, then repeating this. 
 

What I would do for a cross into the box for a big number 9 to head home 😩😩

[Clogger_]

Think of it this way. Birmingham went down to L1 but steamrolled the division - with Stansfield, May etc! We carry no threat

[ScotFox1]

All filler.. no killer!!

[Wink84]

Only pay off if it works better in the second half when the opposition tire. Also having a focal point up top rather than two false nines would be useful.

loads of possession but not a lot else

Sounds likely, seen people complaining about it elsewhere weeks ago

forget it

[Cropwellfox]

how the piss is Reid still on the pitch?

 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Mavididi, Thomas and Reid look equally as poor every time we drop a level, really hope RM has given them a rocket as that was flat as feck, really laboured in possession. Desperately need a couple of strikers through the door, also Chaplin will make a huge difference when he returns from injury.

Can't blame fans to an extent because things have been so bad for so long but we've got to be patient. Provided we're not still starting some of these wasters in October/November we should be fine.

One of the wasters being our new £1.5mil signing.

 

I will not be convinced that we will be in a better position in October when we keep on making the same mistakes.

Can you donate to them as a thank you for not allowing you to watch this shite?

How has Okoli managed that
