Cobblers released Lashley who has performed far better than either. Going back a couple seasons Cobblers released Morgan Roberts, he was good for us, outstanding for Banbury and now at Swindon.
Lashley was awful last night cannot get the basics right,step 5 player unfortunately
I think there's a player in there, but not a left back. He looks more like a left midfielder to me. I had reservations before the season started about having a young lad as a first choice full-back after what happened with Garwood last season.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

interesting That in burgess' s post match comments, that he thought lashley played well last night. I didn't go last night so can't comment on that, but he does look like he needs a season as a back up type player to get used to this level. Putting him in as a regular is like throwing him in at the deep end. But the only other player who can also play at left back is Hughes, but he's needed at centre half

It indeed felt he was in the deep end tues night and that was because he was asked to do more on top of the basics , which is what we need but not what Lashley needs. I felt he was easily beat on pace by their wingers. Having him play wing back means we need cover when we lose the ball

Morning Dunc trust you are well.
Sam’s fine and now back playing. He picked up an injury towards the end of pre season then missed a few games as unavailable, don’t want anyone thinking he’s left or not happy where he is or he may get pestered with daft 7 day approaches.
Hopefully Saturday was a corner turned for Diamonds as the forum has made depressing reading of late.
