This guy is my favourite player by far! Why on earth did Northampton let him go?

I love him! Definitely an early contender for player of the season. He wins everything. He's the dominating centre half we've been crying out for, for years

That's it isn't it - he's just very assured, strong, and heads back everything we get thrown at us. I know we are in League 2 now but we really could have used him last year - just look at how Nathan Clarke (for example) is doing now at Grimsby.
Also, he's a genuinely nice guy - randomly bumped into him outside the club shop in arena park - very down to earth and happy to humour a fan.

Yep, love him. He is so consistent too. Game in, game out and the exact type of player we have been crying out for, for years.
His positioning and reading of the game is good, he's commanding and he's always thinking about his distribution for the most part and doesn't just hoof it away every time. There's intelligence in his play.
Very assured and calm on the ball. Definite early candidate for player of the season.

I know it's league 2 but I can't remember the last time I was as impressed with one of our centre halves as yesterday. He looked so calm and assured.
If, and it's a big if, we go up I don't think he'll have any problem playing at League 1 level.

Yes definitely the sort of replacement for Reda we needed to bring in. Instead we got Jordan Turnbull. So happy to see the back of JT and have have Concrete Rod instead. The lumps of strikers in this league, imagine what mess his hair would be in this league!!

One of the least guilty for going long as well, seems quite comfortable on the ball. Northampton have conceded 15 in 9 too this season. To think there were players like him sitting around in rivals reserve teams last year while that idiot Mowbray chased the now retired Kelvin Wilson all summer and then spent money on Turnbull.

I have a mate who's a Northampton season ticket holder asking the same question.

I've only seen him once v Notts first game of the season and he hit 3 outrageous 60 yard passes to our players feet!
Clearly a top end L1 player who's just a bit of an injury worry and short of matches.
Would imagine he'll be back in L1 next season either with us or someone else!

Me?!! There's no bait. If Blackburn win their game in hand they'll be up to 7th and if they finish there, despite the biggest budget in L1 and missing out on what should be nailed on promotion, they should all be grateful to Tony for their BEST LEAGUE POSITION IN 10 YEARS!!

I know. Thats why i said had they avoided relehation from league 1 then it would be differentThey weren't in league one last year
As it is they come down from championship and want to bounce back first attempt just like cov want too this season. Best league posirion this year without promotion wouldnt mean much as mowbray has alreasy done that for us. Now we need next level in actual promotion

Inspirational when cobblers walked the league. Then wilder left and Rob page came in and dropped rod and he never got a look in. How that happened I don't know but I'm delighted it did

I think he got a bad injury and then came back under a new manager who probably didnt want to take a chance on him. Then hes sort of dropped off the radar. Lucky for us!

Yeah, but he's more commonly known as Tony.

Its copying Villa fans who used to Ron Vlarr Concrete Ron. Its very cringe worthy to be honest, right behind people calling Michael Doyle "Doyler"
Here's how Concrete Ron has been getting on since leaving Villa
Its just embarrassing and Chavvy, Just call him by his real name, he seems a decent player to be fair and seems to be above this level.
I expect a bid in the January transfer Window if he keeps up performances and plays consistently. I would like to see us keep hold of him if we are to challenge this season.
