I still haven't stopped fuming from Saturday.

I cannot believe I am still hearing "...it's only 6 games, Stan can turn it around...". First of all, he had the last few matches of last season (in a watching capacity) and all of pre season as well to get it right. I'm not holding my breath for improvement, I really am not.

Too much tinkering with the side doesn't help. Ok, if players are injured (Boothy, Butler, Cads) there is not a lot you can do, but a more settled side wouldn't go a miss. Why has ST got it in for Kiegan Parker for instance, no one seems to know. Why is he playing Flynn out of position on the wing, when he had his best game for us by far against Sheffield United in the cup playing centre midfield.

Dickenson, although he scored a belter on Saturday, well, I don't see the point of him. N Clarke hoofing it up to him is a waste of time as he can't head for toffee, and his little layoffs / flicks are the sort of things C Brandon was pilloried for - Jevons needs to be playing, and I also hear that Malvin has been playing well for the reserves, so maybe time for another chance for him too.

No matter what, Northampton is must win. If we were to lose on Saturday I would expect Stans head on a platter, nothing less.
