It’s going to be a boring season playing Martin’s crap football 

You just need to be patient. The style needs to develop. Etc etc. 

[Cropwellfox]

This is absolutely honking

We are used to it with the last few managers,

I wouldn't be too harsh on the lad. Give him 2-3 games to settle in

Followed it up in another post saying all that jazz 

[lgfualol]

To be FAIR to Cullen, I’ve seen him get in great positions for a ball over the top, but we don’t have anyone that can pass and are drilled to tippy tap it aimlessly

[Taz_The_Fox]

This is such a piss poor performance. No desire or energy again. No attacking focal point... Sound familiar?

Anyone can see from his body language going back to early last season. Mavididi doesn't want to be here. If he can't be sold. Terminate his club and fk him off. 

What bit of pace and explosiveness has completely gone. Through in no left foot, can’t beat a player ever and no willingness to improve and he’s a total busted flush - get rid 

[DAS Boot]

ITS SO BLOODY BORING!!

 

AAARRRGGHHH

[dmayne7]

Great decision by the club to let Otchere go before we even have 1 striker to choose from. Would make a lot of difference today

[JonnyZeroFox]

I would rather be back to like 10+ years ago 30% of the ball but lots of good chances  this is shit, and I hope we sort it

He put in a decent cross earlier on.

 

Totally pointless with BDR up front so hopefully Chaplin provides an outlet.

Imagine how boring this has been for a Northampton fan

Joseph was great first 30 mins but has tailed off a lot since then 

[Clever Fox]

We need to be braver with our passing. Trow a few over the top and turn them.

[Tommy Fresh]

Okoli is so ****ing crap

Isn't that the RM template? Get used to it. Still better than no goals.

I'm expecting too much, I know.

I think we all would

[AyewSerious]

Baffles me that Okoli is a professional footballer

[jayfox26]

Was hoping the hydration breaks would just be a world cup thing cooked up by the Yanks and here we are introducing them over here. Absolute bollocks! 

[moore_94]

What a finish from Cullen

 

*** was gonna say he looked miles offside, ref given that? Lino didn't flag

Braver means likely to concede possession.. that’s what they are scared of 

[Tommy Fresh]

That not off

Was that not offside?
