McClelland I would imagine Is regaining his fitness after recovering from injury. A stress fracture then a hernia op won’t have allowed him to do much whilst they healed.

A Northampton fan friend of.mine comments.

Felt totally unsafe in this ground. How is this to football league standard ??

It can't be. Whole day despite the win glad to get out alive.

Better Northamptonshire senior league grounds and stands.

How have you got safety certificate.


Rumours as we know you will be thrown out the league by end of 24 season in current state are true

Horrific this can not be legal.

Pathetic sounds like some teams from the 70's trying to get Barrow out the league because of the Speedway. Yes they got their way but we did not help ourselves either by messing the ground up. The reverse is here we are trying to make improvements. When Northampton fail to get promoted again they will make even more excuses to try and get little old Barrow out. They probably say the same about Harrogate's ground. There welcome to their soulless Sixfields Stadium - only got that because there was plenty of money being given out for ground improvements a while back. By the way ever been to Northampton - a wonderful place just off the M1.

I'm not clear why you've posted without comment of your own. Do you agree with your friend? Lots of fans find fault with away grounds.

Getting back to the game, Wintergreen was right, Wild and his staff reacted too late, everyone could see Waters was struggling ( feel for the guy plays everywhere but his own position) this lead to him trying too hard and giving away a needless free kick.,still this needed defending!
White got MOM but he's part of the problem we need to be pressing at home but he takes far too long on the ball and usually passes it backwards or sideways and the ball goes back to either Canavan or Ray both aren't comfortable on the ball and resort to punting it upfield so we lose possession.
When we do get a free kick corner our deliveries are really poor no one really attacks the ball.
Pete needs to rethink our home strategy, once team's start using a low block ( sitting back) we really struggle and end up panicking and throwing about 5 attacker's on and lose all shape etc.when did we last score at home it really is shocking to watch, over to you Pete!

Really really poor yesterday. They were much more match aware than us, knew all the tricks and it was only them who were ever going to win the game. Best we could have hoped for was a 0-0 as we wouldn’t have scored if we were there now. Gordon was so isolated up top when are we ever going to play 2 up top at home? Both goals were so poor defensively as well.

Have to do so much better on Tues or we will get embarrassed and that can’t happen against them ffs

Think we are seeing Manager learning hus trade in the EFL.
Luckily Pete Wild has managed to collect enough points to hopefully see us safe.

We very rarely seem to come back to win after going a goal down

This season is a free hit for him but next season will need to be better.

It's worrying we do not have a plan B.
To me we are still short of a midfielder player ànd a decent forward.and have been for 2 seasons.

Let's see a reaction at Carlisle we cannot defend so let's go and attack them

According to Pete Wild they are still “spinning a plate” on one possible new signing perhaps it’s the creative midfielder we obviously need. He also said nobody would be leaving. Full interview in link below
