Match Thread: Northampton Town v Port Vale

Recommended Posts

After the Kay / Tonge / Pugh trilogy I thought we’d had enough of immobile midfielders.  
But it's tom pope. So we must find a place for him at any cost. When he's 40, some will be saying he can be the goalie. Then, of course, we must retain him as a coach

Some of the stats on here are quite misleading.  Three of the games we won when Richie started, Crewe, Carlisle and yesterday, were won after he had been subbed. 

Maybe the games were won because Bennett chased and chased and tired the back line out.

I don’t know... but the point isn’t that Bennett is better than Pope... they are both different players.

The point is that Bennett doesn’t deserve to be the whipping boy and he doesn’t deserve the abuse he is a starting to receive.

I completely agree with you.  I was just being pedantic about the stats.

Great! Let's sign him.😂

i like Pope, he’s a Character etc but he’s not a starter! i think we should’ve signed a striker in Jan, Cullen if fit would suit up top, for his size he uses his body well and a lot better than bennett. has a good footballing brain just not fit enough. when we used the 433 system last season it seemed to work better with Ricky Miller who’s probably the same frame as Cullen. If Bennett has a bit of aggression he’d be a starter but he just seems a bit of a soft touch. i also think if Pope looked after himself off the pitch better he’d sill be a regular. you only have to look at the likes of Luke Joyce and Legge that they take care of themselves away from the pitch and are able to play as many games as they have this season

As were games won after Richie came on as sub.Also,as recent as Salford at home,we dropped 2  points after he was taken off.
