Just watched England. Reassuringly familiar... Big names underperforming or under-utilised. No wins in 5, no goals in 3 and 7 odd hrs without a goal from openplay. Southgate is being found out big time now. Said it numerous times on social media and have been slated for it - he's the reason we didn't make the WC Final and win the Euros. Both games were there for the taking and he bottled it on both occasions. He's done some good for the squad - he seems to pay more attention to players from smaller clubs, which is a great quality. But he's not good enough to be our National team coach. He's a Championship coach at best. |

We're a mid table side, they're gunning for promotion. 3-1 Northampton. We’re not even a mid table side at the moment. I think we are personally. We've got more quality than a good number of teams in this league. But this idea of getting out the league as quickly as possible looks very deluded. Aim for between 8th and 16th this year, build on it for a promotion push next year |

Most teams promoted from the NL have taken a few years to gain promotion again. Orient have been here for a while. Some kind soul posted the stats for all the promoted clubs for the past 19 seasons which showed that we probably need to be patient. Can't find the post - anyone help me out?

Just go for it today County, high press, loads of crosses into their box, the odd bit of shithousery and all at a high pace
And if we only win by two or three clear goals we’ll just have to settle for that ⚽️💙

Has anyone else not received their ticket for today in the post yet? Was thinking of going earlier today but couldn’t see anything about ticket availability on any of the clubs social media so will give it a miss now. Hope you get yours sorted. |

Have zero expectations for today. Fully expect us to get tonked. Don't think it's going to be pretty at all.
Of course, that leaves room for the thought to creep in that there's a small chance of a crazy against the odds upset but I'm sure by the half hour point that will have been extinguished.
Fingers crossed for an against the odds turning point.

Lovely and sunny here in cobblers world.
A win looks unlikely unless a scruffy game but it is time to grind a result out
Madden is our best player and returns today but can’t get away from a 2.0 defeat

Northampton are now 9/5 underdogs which is remarkable.
They must have a couple of injuries but even then it makes no sense.

Still have a lot of hope today that we’ll come good.
Just need to get two halves of intensity, forget about the matches so far, it’s just the team in front of us we need to beat which I’m more than confident in us being able to, if we can keep that bright start going through the game.
Come onnnnn County!

Fully expecting to get a battering today. Anything less is a bonus.

Didn’t see Madden not starting but think it’s the right call.
Crankshaw and Wootton has been showing some promise while he’s been suspended and he has to earn the right to start again after his red.

4-2-2-2 still then with the changes enforced and straight swaps. Good to see Newby on the bench as the only one who looked up for it vs Wolves U21s.
Looks like Lewis is still injured too. Quite a few out for us when you add in MSH too.
