[Revived Red]

What struck me most about our performance on Saturday was the contrasting wing play of Naismith and Mingoia. I wonder if they were playing to instructions or according to their own instincts. Virtually all of our threats came down our left wing via Lidds and Mingoia. They were always willing to take on the opposition and cross the ball. By contrast, Naismith was far too ready to drift towards midfield - and to dribble his way into trouble.

Exile commented to me that the most dangerous Northampton player was their left back. He really did have an easy afternoon with so much space to attack down our right. It is worth commenting that the Northampton goal came from an attack down our right where we were outnumbered.

Northampton had done their homework on Odejayi and marked him out of the game. As all our throw-ins are directed at him, this was a problem.

Just one other thought - Tom Aldred was magnificent.
