Exactly this and its blatantly obvious, the amount of times one of there players went down was really frustrating and the refs seem to pander to it, also it should not take minutes and minutes to make a sub ...we didn't play well but every time we looked like we maybe getting up a head of steam the game was stopped....and as i said blatant we could all see it

Also there 4-5 subs they made all in one go seemed to take forever with each player being told and then walking off before the next number was shown , it seemed to take an eternity but we did get 10 mins extra at the end , but we still never looked like scoring so it was still a crap performance despite the time wasting you correctly mention

Warne stumbled across a system due to having Gayle up top and we seemed to have started to play more freely and passed it better and mixed our game up more ..yesterday all I saw from any forwards was looking to run in behind hence encouraging a long ball which invariably found a Northampton shirt a lot of the time without Gayle who to me is a class above any strikers we have I fear more of what we saw yesterday we are now hoping that Collo will make a difference….i saw yesterday as a massive game for us and reading pre match posts I know a lot of others did too….but when it matters we didn’t turn up and the football ( if you can it that ) was truly horrible …let’s get it right …whether pitch was too narrow too small too bobbly etc etc …Northampton are a poor side …the amount of missed passes and general hoofs out of play from them was of a poor standard …a massive opportunity missed and not for the first time ….this is what makes me fear the play offs ….we have to go up in autos and we now have 6 massive games. can we do it? Of course you never know in football but what I do know is…anymore performances like yesterday and I think we can kiss the autos goodbye and then might have to look forward to another season in this s**** division where I think the standard will be better next season …so 6 games !! let’s hope Warne can look at it like a 6 game season now and get us over the line ….but we shall see….COYR

Yeah let’s blame the pitch for the fact we were absolute s**** lol

I would have put Washington on to play up top with Waggy but to be honest Roy Waggy looks rusty and no doubt Wash is too ….but Waggy should’ve scored as should Adams but I’d never take Adams off as he’s a proper grafter …Wilson did ok but I still think he’s an impact sub much the same as Ward one gets 60 one gets 30 imo but not on together that I agree with

He whipped in two terrific crosses …end of …no one got on the end of them …that’s it ..you’re talking nonsense

He played two fantastic crosses that you expect someone to be on the end of it wasn’t like the box was empty

Absolute load of crap one of the worst games of football I’ve seen Northampton are crap so that says it all why take off Adams ? and NML ? Unless they’re injured it’s a strange decision if anyone thought this league wasn’t of a poor standard this season that game sums it up a team in the top 2 and a team going nowhere in L1 …it was such a poor standard of football …any really good side would piss this league

Hourihane has done no worse than anyone else

Let’s be honest though this has been absolute s**** from both teams and to think they charge to watch this lol

Again though too many long balls and not helped by players trying to run in behind so encouraging a long ball …I’d say at least 50 per cent of our long balls have gone to Northampton. The usual Hourihane haters moaning about Hourihane but he’s been no worse than anyone else and is at least trying to calm people down when they get on the ball take Bradley and Sibley off for Korey Smith and CBT

We need to move it quicker and let’s try and play a ball that passed with real intent …fizz it into players feet …a lot of our passes have more bobbles than one of Warnes hats!! poor first half and can only get better!!!! surely!!!

To think that this is a professional game of football lol it’s so poor it’s like a park game ….

This is how I’d line up too …we have 3 in the mid who can control the game …with Ward and Sibley wide and Nathan and Waggy switching about up top …I think this is a good side with what we have available

Hourihane is still a good player and has scored some vital goals for us.......In a two man midfield with Bird it doesn't work as both are slow tempo players , we haven't missed Bird as much as some would like to believe , we also didn't sign Hourihane for his mobility and has never really been that mobile anyway, but he's still an important part of the squad ...for sure also think he gets an unnecessary amount of criticism as does Korey Smith , both will be vital in the run in as will Ebooooou who is immense and best signing of the season for me

Glad we signed CBT lol

If CBT isn’t ready for big games like this why did we buy him??

I meant now not at HT change something now

This is where we need a change of shape or something different will it happen though ?

We’re not winning this if it continues like this

Barks has done well recently and I’d have kept him on and what about CBT is he going to play any part ?

In Warne we trust!! lol 😂

I’d like to see Gayle stay and play with Browne next season …he will learn a lot off of Gayle

Have noticed we have played a few balls more directly to Gayle than we did with Collo Gayle has given us this option like for the through ball where he was brought down , if you look you see Gayle point before arcing his run in between two centre backs and was eventually brought down Also the through ball or long ball from Ebou where he wins a penalty is no fluke because he's literally telling who ever has the ball , I'm going to make that run and it gives defenders a question to answer , do they go with him or let him go hoping he may have mistimed his run I really like Collo but I think without Gayle we don't score those 2 goals on Tuesday because he has given us something very different Also has a really good spring for balls in the air, if me I'd be looking to sign him up for next season already whatever division we are in

Gayle will be one of the main reasons we go up …wouldn’t surprise me if he got 8-10 goals before end of season ….quality striker his movement is brilliant
