Evening lads.
A quite entertaining game, and a decent atmosphere. I felt that we shaded the first half, and your late second half onslaught, was only due to our substitutions, Periera and Ariyibi both on, at the same time, was asking for trouble. Especially, as Periera decided to go "walkabout" and play where he wanted, instead of sticking out wide. This left a big gap, which you tried to exploit, but ultimately to no avail.
I felt that, our keeper had a decent game, and was probably the difference between us. Aneke was very silly. JJ had his hands around his shoulders, and probably deserved a yellow for that, but a punch in the mouth as a response, is just crass stupidity on his part.
For what its worth, I didnt think that you played too badly. You were quite incisive and sharp at times. Keep the faith, you never know what will happen next. Only a month ago, I was convinced that we were down. Now Im not so sure.
I have no desire to see you go down, because "local" games have an extra spice to them. Hopefully we will be playing youselves, Luton, Poxford and Boro next season.
Didn't think Northampton were anything special, just took advantage of our poor defending. Don't know who the really tall lad was that plays in midfield for you, but he played well. And as I mentioned in the post before, your keeper was fantastic.
