Northampton v Barrow Match Thread

[Bluebird_john]

I pre-recorded some post match reaction which will be posted online at somepoint this evening

I wasn’t going to stay in the ground till 6pm ha ha

I,d rather listen to you Adam than some of the moans coming over the airwaves after you had finished your main broadcast .They need to admit they lost and get over it instead of constantly talking about the proposed takeover and the debt and as for Paul Simpson he is not the most joyous person to listen to.If we play badly you say so.If the opposition plays well you give them the credit.Understand why you wanted to get away.Looking forward to Mondays
discussion about the game against Northampton

True about Mr Simpson. One of the most tedious voices I’ve ever heard

Any interviews from Paul Cox? Would like to hear about his time with us

Me too. Some of my best memories were under him. Up with the Cox!

We got a mention a few years back around 42 mins in.

I listened to RC in the car on the way home - wow, that was depressing other than the last 5 minutes when they finally got to Adam’s piece with PW. I don’t usually moan about the coverage, but couldn’t they have at least played some Barrow highlights in that 55 minutes? The combination of Chris Lumsden repeating himself and the death by analysis is painful.

When pre match started at 1pm, we heard more about Carlisle than Barrow in the 30 minutes before our kick off. As we were allegedly supposed to be getting separate feeds, I would have expected that first half hour to be our pre match discussion. Then in the half time break it was all Carlisle discussion, then the feed went off within 10 minutes of the second half starting.

Fortunately, I found a link on BBC Sounds not long after our match to Adam's post match interview with Pete Wild, so then I knew I wouldn't need to listen to the 5pm Carlisle inquest.

Anyway, we might now get exclusive coverage for the second round!

Totally agree Jim.l Let,s just say hypothetically we and Carlisle swap divisions next season will we then at last be given more broadcast time both before and after the game?It was almost as though they were begrudgingly admitting we had won but didn,t want to.play any of the highlights in the following 55 minutes which they could quite easily have done.

Thought the atmosphere at Sixfields today was actually a little quiet. The mood of the locals was very subdued and more so after the early goal. Even after they equalised the crowd really didn’t rouse themselves.

Personally I thought PW had pre-determined that he was going to rotate the squad in the second half. We ended up playing quite deep by the end of the first half and the Cobblers had the run of midfield.

This changed when Whitfield, Gotts, White and Garner came on. From that point we looked the most likely side and the Barrow supporters were giving it the “Ole” well before the end.

Paul Cox was on the money when he talked about Barrow not as a good team but as a really good squad. So good that by the end whilst I was absolutely delighted I certainly wasn’t ecstatic that we’d won. Because we were the better team our and simple

Good effort by the team (squad!") and management today.

Also by those who were able to make the journey and could be heard in the background at times.

I enjoyed Paul Cox's contributions to the commentary - he sounded really impressed by Barrow.

Fantastic result today, Banked 41k prize money & we get a 40% share of the gate money ( is that right ) 18 quid in wasn’t it? After VAT. Got to be 15/18K won’t it?

Decent rotation of the squad today, Aqua & Telford partnership developing nicely & a squad that plays for each other is also developing nicely & the rotation shouldn’t lead to player burnout when the heavy pitches usually take their toll.

Missed the last 35mins when RC dropped & even my ifollow ST went south??

Preying for the lowest ranked club at home to surely win though to hopefully a big top PL club away in R3.

Enjoyed that. Was a great time at Barrow when Coxy was here. Put together a good side that just fell short.

Puzzled about this. Suggestive of being present at the match AND listening to Paul Cox, concurrently

Easily explained HTB. Paul Coxs comments are available on BBC Sounds. Listened to them before I posted after driving back this evening.

I’ve posted our post match reaction on here in which Paul cox speaks as well as a member of my fans panel

Post match debate in which Paul Cox was part of per chance.
