From my end it is not so much a moan, more of a concern. Losing several of last seasons key players in one hit (Clarke accepted), who had performed well for us last season, and taking something of a leap of faith on players that we simply don't know well enough to base a firm judgement on, and not being able to predict the outcome.
As a fan, I hope it comes off of course, but it is a high risk strategy to say the least. Other clubs are in a similar position of course - I know many Cobblers fans who share the same concern year on year, and a coiuple of mates who have said "welcome to our club" - (and not in a literal sense of course!).
Nick. This site doesn't have new people every day you know. People use it regularly and remember your stance on a number of issues.
This is a case in point. We've sold our hottest prospect with the promise the windfall will be reinvested in the playing squad. I very much suspect it hasn't been. And won't be. Your line? Well maybe we won't leak as many goals? Maybe someone else will step up? You've neatly side-stepped our owners apparent duplicity, and are trying to silver-line a dirty big potential cloud. Just answer the point - does it look like our owners have misled us with the ambition of the Wilson sale? Has there been a considerable migration in our goal threat since January of last season?
That's why people moan. As I don't want a few more seasons in the third division, and at least if our owners did what they eluded they would with the Wilson money I'd thing we stood a chance of changing that. And I don't want to be reliant on your cheery 'maybes' to achieve that aim
Yes we do. Another good thread to look at http://www.thefootballforum.net/index.php?/topic/226401-hows-your-starting-line-up-looking/
compare and contrast to see how piss poor some teams are.
I'd be pretty worried cov fans if shaun miller is one of your main strikers. Back up maybe...
I'd wager that he's nowhere near the best left back in Northampton.
I don't think i've come across a more pointless footballer in my time and we've had Darren Carter and Barry Nicholson.
I'm leaving this forum until the day before the start of the season. Goodbye
OK, that thread has one Cov fan (I assume you) having the piss taken out of them for thinking Pugh will be any good, and they are literally the only person saying we'll do well (I've only gone back a month).
No-one in that thread is mentioning us for promotion.

Stop calling Wilson League 1's hottest prospect, he has a history of injuries and had one good goal scoring season in League 1 (A league in which failed Championship strikers score for fun). There is another month of the transfer window and therefore still time for us to pay a fee for a player.
Look at the predictions. It's also fairly apparent that I'm taking the piss when talking about Pugh being great. He'll just be a consistent left back. That fan has also never seen pugh play for their team so I won't take his judgement very seriously when Leeds fans have said he's be good.

And of course your post saying "If you ask any Cov fan we'll finish 24th" which is just gibberish.
You are massively over optimistic, its cool, that's your job as a fan. But don't make out like you have some kind of facts to back up your opinion.
That is the ONLY argument worth talking about at the moment. because the truth upsets a few on here, we shouldnt censure it.
Not sure anyone who doesnt make the effort to go to Sixfields has a right to comment on the strength of the squad. You being part of the problem after all.

Taking things out of context and to extremes doesn't strengthen your view point Grendel, it just makes you look like an idiot.What Jack Muldoon from Worksop you mean? Doubt it he's on a 1 year contract.
Still he was signed for a "minor" fee so I guess ccfcway would rather have him than Tudgay.
After all a fee is a fee.
Tbh. From that, it shows that no one has a clue where we will finish.
how many predictions are there, 30 or so ?
Out of them, only 1 predicts we will scrap the play offs
Yes they do...
What is the obsession with paying fees? If there are 2 players of equal quality, one on a free and one with a fee to pay, I'd have the free one any day.
Stop calling Wilson League 1's hottest prospect
What would you call a young player who was the 3rd highest L1 goalscorer last season? Surely that's the definition of a hot prospect. Was interesting to see when I looked up the L1 top scorers last season Wilson is the only one who has left so the idea that it was inevitable that he would leave doesn't seem to ring true.
