League Two Northampton v Rovers

[ALDO MUSSY]

oops bad feeling

 

[bigmart]

Strange looking team, at a guess O'Connor 3rd centre half Morris left wing back.

 

[ADD]

Burton starts....

 

[ADD]

McPake back in also and Davies dropped for NKP. McManaman starts also.
Suffice to say MM is rolling the dice.... Interesting

Hmm, doesn't fill me with confidence although fair play to Micky for making changes. Fingers crossed, lets go!

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Micky has obviously decided enough is enough. When on a bad run, he can’t keep picking the same team and not give others a chance. I’m glad Burton is finally getting the nod, although I expect Glatzel may get half an hour at the end. Nevitt doesn’t even make the bench.

 

[Sparky]

Bizarre looking team. To play Burton, NKP and Mcmanaman is a real surprise but many SWA have been asking for changes but is this too much? Time will tell

 

[keep the faith]

never saw that line-up coming last chance saloon time or managerial master stroke ? seems strange to throw burton into the fray given the magnitude of this game.

 

[ALDO MUSSY]

really have a bad feeling now,and a home sell out

 

[Boz]

Gobsmacked at this line-up is the politest way I can put it.

The change that I find most puzzling is the dropping of Macdonald. He didn't have a good game at Newport, very few did, but the last full match I viewed at Hartlepool, he was probably MoM. Who is playing left-back today? Morris' failings there are well-documented and I can't see Mcmanaman in that slot. Merrie still in Siberia and doesn't even make the bench. Or are we going to a back 3 with O'Connor dropping back? With Spearing's absence that would leave us short of tackling ball-winners in the middle of the park.

Unsure that Burton has even featured in the Pizza Cup this season? Surprised at him starting, although that decision may be with an eye to Glatzel coming on for a cameo as BBTC suggests. Nevitt not even on the bench.

The other changes perhaps more understandable. Davies not at his best v Newport and Micky's preference always for a left/right footer combination in central defence. McPake for Hawkes a like for like. Overall this line-up feels a bit like when Micky brought Dieseruvwe back into the side at Mansfield, my instincts are that the outcome will be equally dismal.

 

[bigmart]

Didn't realise the ground is not fully built and basically crap.

 

[Sparky]

The hosts take the lead with a simple corner where a big lad drifts onto cogley and heads in at the back post

 

[Ian]

The hosts have turned the screw after about 20 mins and we look all over the show conceding in the process. Little attacking threat yet again.

 

[frenchrover]

"Gobsmacked" Boz?..I call it DESPERATION. And now..the inevitable 1-0 down

 

[Ian]

Doohan kicking has been awful.

 

[Sparky]

2-0……

 

[Boz]

We’d started brightly but have lost our way and now conceded an almost identical second.

 

[Ian]

2-0. Absolute rubbish.

 

[ALDO MUSSY]

crock of fucking shit we wont make the playoffs at this rate

 

[ADD]

Doohan needs subbing. He has lost all confidence. This could be a cricket score...
