Sat 22/Sun 23 February fixtures

Huge win for us at Sixfields. Great character coming back from 1-0 down and I think overall we were the better side throughout. Huge turning point at 1-0 as Tzanev made a big save to keep it at 1-0 then we grabbed the equaliser shortly after.

Controlled the game for large parts really, 3 wins in 4 and a good bounce back from Wrexham last weekend.

Only saw the 2nd half but you were definitely the better team, you just wanted it more.

I don’t know what it is at home vs away. At home we’re pretty good, but go away and I don’t even know, we’re just pathetic.

We’re massively missing players in CM and upfront (although who isn’t) and it really showed. Have to say Calderon needs to start having questions asked of him with in game management.

On Tuesday we absolutely matched Wycombe before taking off 2 wingers for CBs at HT. Today it was clear you’d get the equaliser, and when you did, you came looking for the winner. We were crying out for a change, but only when you score he decides to make subs. Absolutely pathetic.

We deserve to go down tbh, we’re completely toothless

Have to say that one hurt as Northampton are almost as bad as us.
Scotty scores that chance to make it 2-0 we probably get a rare away win. He has missed some decent chances this season for someone of his quality, finishing should be something he doesn't lose with age.
Bench is poor, nothing to change the game
I'm off to get smashed, fuck football

Exeter were pathetic. I’d be fuming if I’d travelled all that way to see that but fair play to their support. Never even tried to get going. Easiest win we will have this season. We did look good but it’s difficult to read into it given how bad Exeter were

 

[Luke Imp]

The beginning of the end today for Skubala I think, he's signing his own P45. I don't mean he'll depart imminently but I'm not sure he'll be here next season.

4 wins in 20, we keep few clean sheets, we create little from open play and don't even look a coached side in that respect either. It's all gone very Kennedy again, some of the reasons we got rid of him were because of the issues we've been seeing this season as well. Absolutely turgid stuff.

Far too many no show performances this season (both individually and collectively) of which one was yesterday. Burton showed very, very little and were happy with a draw (that's fine, no issues with that) and instead of trying to take the game to them we just muddled around the pitch doing very little and showing very little urgency albeit had two goals disallowed.

We could have been 7 points off the PO's but we turn in a performance like that.

Absolutely agreed. I'm not one to jump on a managers back too soon, see myself quite patience and unbiased, but there's been no signs of improvement. We may win a game here or there, but excitement is being stripped back.

Think Skubala's had it tough considering the run end of last season and therefore expectation set very high for this season.

I will renew my season ticket, as are the other 4 i go with, but will be interesting to see how many others do.

Terrible game of football with 2 poor teams yesterday at Shrewsbury, probably not helped by the fact I was feeling pretty rough! Stevenage on of the worst teams I've seen all season, but got a 1-0 win without a shot on target. Blackman won't have an easier game for us. We barely created anything either and half of the team were blowing after an hour. Starting Oliver and then repla in him at half time meant that the only other attacking change we could make late on was to bring on Callum Stewart, leaving us with 2 5ft 8 strikers against Stevenage's giants at the back.

My pet hate of players being idiots towards fans surfaced again with the Stevange keeper giving it the biggun after the game totally unprovoked, the crowd was flat all game, them walking away and pulling his shorts down as he got outside the box. Totally unnecessary, they'd won the game, not a rival of any sort.

I'm just glad I chose to go last week instead of this. Sounded awful.
We have too many similar players and I don't think the manager knows which ones to play. We only have one proper centre forward and a bunch of make weights. Can't even blame injuries for that as we only have a few out and one of the biggest squads in the league.
Northampton then Shrewsbury at home. Massive games now.

Yeah, I struggled to understand what your game plan actually was.

It made sense to begin with, making us switch ends, playing for a draw but then nothing changed at 1-0, only decided to try and get forward at 2-0 but even that seemed a bit half hearted and lasted all of about 5 minutes.

A couple of contentious decisions at Blackpool. Their sending off. To my eye it looked like bit of a tussle and the Blackpool player put our player on the ground. More often a yellow for that but it seems the forth official saw something more.

Definetly a foul for the penalty (possible red card) but the ref rightly plays advantage and then again plays advantage but to play advantage for a third time might be taking it a bit far. I'm not sure what the rules on this are but it seemed to be a case of playing until they score or I'm giving a penalty.

No issue with the result. To play 60 minutes against ten men and not get a single chance on the highlight reel is bloody awful. That's two games in a row where we have just not been good enough.
