So Northampton manager says (no disrespect to Grimsby but we shouldn’t be losing to that) in his after match interview.Didn’t realise we where playing a premier club yesterday.

They were 19 points above us, at home, and 1-0 up with 20 minutes to go so seems fair enough to me.

Maybe PH told.the lads that.Northampton are a league one side, we have a 100% record vs them this season.

Perhaps if they'd have tried to kill us off at 1-0 up instead of rolling around on the deck clutching their heads they might have won?

We were much better than them all day. Shows the potential for us if we could find a bit of consistency

That and the random hoofs, literally hoofs up in the air, not even forwards all the time. It was very bizarre.

So some use the word dour in relation to our gaffa, watch this and you’ll see the true definition.

Another in the list of managers who think they are bigger than Town, comes across as a bit of arrogant t0sser with ideas above his station.

Rugby town. Fook 'em.

A smaller club than ourselves with ideas above their station as always. They've had a problem with us since '98 for no reason. I cannot ever remember them playing in the second tier.

Northampton are similar to Peterborough. I think it’s what happens when you’re in the part of the world that neither northern, but not southern enough to be London. Over inflated egos and in truth, a non club. Northampton wete a bunch of boring arrogant girl privates in 98 and they’ve never changed.

If they were so good they’d have seen the game out against a side that’s lost 6 out of 7 away games…

Huge potential due to a massive local population (wasn’t Northampton once the most populous ‘town’ in England?), but if they’ve never reached that potential so far, they’re unlikely to ever do it.

So I’d agree, a bigger town than Grimsby, but actually a smaller club. It does happen. Burnley being the ultimate club for maximising their potential, in fact hugely exceeding what should be possible. The exact opposite to Northampton.

Their left winger was rapid, Amos lost Hoskins for their goal - apart from that, wasn't too worried about them.

For us - Gallagher and Emmanuel both brought some hardness and graft into play, but we still pass poorly at times, and play too much head tennis.

But a grafting win with the ref on their side for most of the game as well !!

Blind to miss that penalty claim - McAtee was clear, if he hadn't deflected the ball !!

Northampton didn't look like play off or promotion contenders !  Missing Fox, perhaps ??

I live in this area, just down the road, and rugby is much bigger than football. They're competing with Saints whose average gates are nearly 14,000 (not forgetting Northants play at the County Ground, where NT used to play). Bedford, down the road, get around 3-4,000 in the second tier of the union leagues. Bedford Town get about 250.

Northampton’s recent form is worse than ours, they’ve only achieved 10 points from their last 10 games compared to our 12 points so he’s not got a lot to shout about. The Northampton local radio station did not give us the respect we deserved either although they did admit we should have been awarded a penalty for the hand ball incident.

Northampton have always had a superiority complex especially when it comes to Town. Some of the stuff on local radio before the '98 play off final was off the chart. They thought they had some sort of divine right to beat us because they'd sold 42,000 tickets and has won the previous seasons play off final to get promoted. Unfortunately for them they were just a bunch of long ball bully boys who came up against a cultured team managed by a legend.

Don't know if it has anything to do with being a large town, the county town. I think they believe they should be a city and have completely forgotten when they played on the edge of a cricket ground and that they are overshadowed by the local egg chasers.

And have one of the worst local councils in the land…I met someone who worked for them in their education department. They essentially had the bailiffs in…

flipping pointless club, in a pointless place…

They’re so good I backed us to win.

Also an absolutely scruffy dump. We went for a beer afterwards and the streets were full of litter. Not just a little bit either a right mess.

To think people on here where moaning about GY/CLEE, being an  awful location.

You’d struggle to find a more soulless ground too.
Have to say though the pub we went to was decent. The Artizan on Artizan Rd (yes it was spelled like that)

Obviously not like the area around BP with loads of dog shite and used needles!

Apologies if it’s already been mentioned but during the interview with Brady was that Ben Fox walking onto the pitch on crutches, what is the injury he is suffering from?

Yes. Someone said achilles, but don't know for sure.

Was significantly worse. Never seen such a shithole. Rubbish strewn everywhere.

Probably a light gust of wind brushed his leg as he walked to the changing rooms. We saw enough of that last season. Big decision made by him to leave us, and a major favour done inadvertently. I hope I’m wrong, but he may never play a full season. Sick note.

Bit harsh!

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Possibly. A fantastic player at this level. I like him a lot. 46 games from him is worth £4K a week, but I suspect it won’t happen for them.

Shocker of an interview, didn't seem like he knew how to handle basic questions.

So "big" promotion chasing Northampton Town now have a mere 10 points from their last 11 games and just lost at home to relegation threatened just promoted from the National League "little" Grimsby Town? I wonder if the famous Grimsby Reaper might just be sharpening his scythe ready to claim yet another victim?!

Should have beat them at BP too.

Thank them for the 4 points and move on.

Yeah I saw Fox come out and shake Tondeurs hand. On crutches so looks a long term injury for them and probably coincides with there poor form. If the rumoured 5K a week being his salary am sure they saw him as mainstay of the team. But if you look at his previous injury record and combative style, I feel town were lucky to get as many games out of him as we did and back to old record with the cobblers.

Great victory for us and if we can get 4 points out of 6 in the next 2 home games I would be happy with that, starting with a win tomorrow night  

The more L2 teams I see and managers I hear, the happier I am with Paul Hurst. Swindon were the only team that really turned it on again us and that was when their Premier League flat track bullies were facing 10 men.

PH's not perfect but who is. All told, I can't think of any I'd swap him for in the division.
