Comfortably Numb - Our new anthem!
at 09:09 21 Feb 2021

After being a Town fan for nigh on sixty years, I would never anticipated watching a Town game so devoid of any emotion what so ever. Week after week I suffer the same old dross, season after season and now I no longer cheer when we score or swear when we concede. Yesterday against an Oxford team that may well have been in form, but who frankly looked no better than Northampton, we huffed and puffed and looked no more capable of scoring than the government's target of zero covid. The only entertaining feature yesterday was the two pathetic dives by Chambers and Dozzell, obviously they have been watching the big boys playing on the TV, a sad indicator of how the game has changed for the worse. Lambert puffed out his miserable chest afterwards lamenting how the boys are obviously playing for him, he has probably done enough to persuade Evans to give him another contract extension. Lambert knows this is his last job in senior football, no serious club is ever going to employ him in the future so he will have to skulk off back to Scotland to find any work. Meanwhile for us long suffering Town fans we can all listen to the Pink Floyd song, hardly a fitting tribute to a once great team which will soon be totally forgotten.

Does anyone think that a new manager alone will not fix this club?

Probably not in the short term, not enough to get out of this league this season in any case. It is too late now, the remaining schedule may prove to punishing to keep a consistent team. People ask is the squad good enough, basically I would say it is. This is after all, Division 3, there are not that many star players in this league, just hard working, organised teams with players who show a bit of passion. I actually believe our current U23's could challenge in this league. We just need a manager who can engage with his players, Hurst turned out to be a mistake, but I feel we need a manager who know players in Div2 and the higher reaches of the non-league game, that is where the players we need are going to come from, not no hopers on loan. I see much written about the salary cap, funny I thought all the teams had to abide by that not just ITFC, and I am sure the rules still say that 3 teams will get promoted!

Tomorrow's line up
at 12:58 27 Nov 2020

I would go 4-4-2

Holy
Donacien Woolf McGuinnes Ward
Lankester Dozzell Chambers McGavin
Norwood Hawkins

Chambo in midfield, he should ruffle a few feathers and he gets up and down the pitch well, we need some steel in there. Hawkins up front and get the ball forward quicker.

None of it will happen, it will be 4-5-1 and Lambert will instruct the team to only cross the half way line once every 15 mins. He will play Judge, probably forget Sears is injured and start him and play a lone striker because we are "terrible with 2 up front"!!!
