Decent point. Not much new learned, we have some pretty clear weaknesses but there's a decent side in there too. Grant back next week should help balance the side a bit.

A point away at the Cobblers, good point in my opinion.

Good away point. Better second half, probably a fair result overall.
I don't know what it takes to cut out the sloppy passing but we need to do that, whatever it is.
And as much as I appreciate improving in the second half, it would be alright if we played OK in the 1st half as well. Hopefully the general will help us control games better again.

Can we play away every week?
If only we had a cutting edge, where are Doyle and Yates when you need them?

The good - the result given we could have lost that, Simpson could and should have had a hat-trick today, we look very good when we flick the switch.
The bad - Iandolo, just plain awful I'm afraid. Payne - everywhere but where you need a central midfielder to control a game. Defending free kicks and corners - the high line is fine but don't keep leaving a man 30 yards of space out wide and far too passive on corners.
The ugly - I'm calling this early and hope it comes back to bite me. Garner is not going to make a good Manager, we are a tactical mess at times. He is clearly a very good coach - you can see that in the way the team plays, but he looks like he lacks that little something extra to manage a game. The amount of times we were beaten at the left back position from free kicks on our right was criminal. A couple of times fine, but to not adjust anything is a big red flag for me. I don't think he is as ineffective as Williams turned out to be, and he will no doubt help the development of young players, but he needs someone in his team who can be more ruthless tactically.

Looking ahead, the next two games ought to deliver 6 points out of 6.

Could have won it, could have lost it.
I presume the dull as ditchwater first halves are part of the Garner masterclass in tactics. Why, oh why, can’t we play like we do in the 2nd halves.
Personally, Garner isn’t a manager. Seems bereft of tactics.

Well, we've sold out the away end (946) 5 days before the game, but we are not getting any more I'm sure we'll have well over a 1,000 there Won't be an easy game. I'll go for 1-1 att: 5,833 (946 away*) * officially 30 out

Happy with the point. Yes there are some creases that need ironing but there is enough there to be lingering in & around the top 10, then lets see what happens in January.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

How comes there were stfc fans in the side stand, I thought it was only behind the goal we had?
