Just back

Not the best of games but the win made it more palatable.They were average at best and we weren't much better but did enough in patches to just about deserve the win.

Comedy defending for their goal and there were a couple of other situations when we looked a bit dodgy at the back.We are very easy to score against and teams always seem to get a goal against us somehow.

We looked at our dodgiest after each of our goals funnily enough and seemed to go on the back foot each time we scored for a few minutes.Came from behind to win though and that's a change and we now have three wins out of four,so can't complain at that.

Those asking for eagle to come back in will be pleased to know he still can't cross a football and his many corners were shocking in the main.

Good result but we will have to be a lot better to beat Wrexham and other top sides if we want to climb the league.

Thought Green was our best player and we need to get him signed.

Defensively we were TERRIBLE! So sluggish and slow, for such a shite team to look dangerous on so many occasions coming forward was pretty embarrasing to be honest. Cant pick anybody else but Disley and Hearn who had good games, Serge plays like he's never watched a football game in his life, he is actually quite good but his decison making is amongst the worst i've seen in a footballer. Eagle was pretty terrible, as was Elding. Elding did get a goal but that doesn't equate to a good game, missed a flipping sitter and didn't support Hearn in the slightest, very harsh that Duffy was dropped. All in all it wasn't pretty but the 3 points is the important thing, but there were some ominous signs in there.

A team that has arguably one of the best strikers in the league but I admit we were poor at times

We never do things the easy way but we deserved to win. We were the better team and Kettering were really poor for the most part.

It wasn't always pretty and it wasn't a game full of quality but we played fairly well. There was a lot of effort in there and we got our reward. We still look a bit shaky defensively, it cost us the first goal and there was a horrible mix-up at the end that had me shitting it but we managed to scramble it away, thank god!

It was nice for Elding to get his first goal, nobody will complain if he can start taking his chances and scoring. Green was good again, helps to have his pace at the back and he's very good going forward. Eagle had a good game also.

Well done Town!

Marna wasn't all that tonight, there number 7 was much better.

I thought we played quite well in patches. A little more quality in the final third and we would have won comfortably. Eagle, Church, Green and Disley stand out for me.

It isn't just him though. Our dead ball delivery is absolutely woeful. It was pitiful on Saturday and I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of corners which managed to elude the first defender.

Agree about Green. According to RH the managers may be about to offer him "something" contract-wise. I certainly hope so. It is no coincidence that our three wins in four games are the same four games he has played for us.

I felt a bit sorry for Eagle who despite H and S apparent belief otherwise clearly never has had a right foot...

Did hearn score? The speaker said he did, i thought it was coulo myself but i didnt have the clearest view

One thing that has surprised me about RS and PH is that their set plays are rubbish. I though with them coming from divisions below the Conference previously that they'd pretty hot on this as set plays are where a lot of goals come from in non-league football in general. The games I have been to this season and judging by tonight's report, Town have been poor from this point of view. That is disappointing. The criticism that Eagle gets on here seems harsh too, he got a few goals last season and has barely had a look in this year. He' only young, give him a bloomin' chance! It's almost like he's the new Bore.

But for a professional footballer to not be able to take a corner is unforgiveable and it isn't just now and again.It's every time he plays and nearly every corner he takes.

We have someone in Pearson who has a shedload of goals to his name but we never get a cross anywhere near him.Barra is right though,it seems to run right through the team,not just Eagle and it's telling to note that we scored from the two best crosses of the night.Both whipped in with pace.

Maybe green or artus should rake them I know artus has taken plenty of set pieces and scored in pre-season.  Green can obviously cross

Its all about opinions but I thought we played well,as I think we have in all the home games bar the first one v Fleetwood.

Weve already won 3 home games and slowly but surely the team is coming together.

The keeper looks good,Green very good.Church grew into the game with Disley and I thought Hearn was excellent again.

Eagle certainly provided more than Coulson has of late,albeit the set pieces were poor.

Work in progress but I am cautiously optomistic.

Overly negative views on here for me.

We dominated the game - if you look at the stats, we had almost two thirds possession, forced well over a dozen corners, had twice as many shots on target as the opposition, etc etc etc.

My main worry was two or three dodgy pieces of defending which almost cost us dear but we got away with them. Kettering were big (and got bigger as they seemed to bring on increasingly larger substitutes), strong and had a lot of pace in the team. Luckily, they were lacking in guile so most of their chances came from our errors. Both Pearson and Kempson were caught out on one or two occasions but I thought the two full-backs played well for us. In the event, their goal was rather lucky as a few blocked tackles/shots kept falling straight to their players - the ball then went right into their scorer's feet and he could hardly miss. We didn't get any such luck in the box today despite all our pressure.

Makofo did well at times but would be much more threatening if he didn't dither on the ball and moved it on to other players more quickly. He also needs to work on his crossing of the ball. Eagle worked hard and kept possession quite well, though many of his crosses and set pieces were disappointing. The fact that we are just not scoring from set pieces is both disappointing and worrying. Over the past month, we seem to be averaging around ten corners a game, not to mention a number of set pieces around the box, but the delivery means that few offer any threat. That said, I thought Kettering defended set pieces very well today though they looked dodgy from open play.

Hearn looks to be playing very well at the moment but it is just unfortunate that he doesn't seem to be able to get into goalscoring positions himself. He is creating plenty of chances for others and I hope he continues to do so. Elding had his best game by a mile today. He's not a proper target man so expecting him to do that job seems unfair. I was unsurprised to see him miss the header, but I hope that the goal will give him some confidence - he looked a lot quicker today than I thought he was.

All in all, a decent enough performance for me, albeit with some worrying/disappointing aspects. I think the big problem at the moment is unrealistic expectations. We're a Conference team so we shouldn't expect miracles or even little more than competence most of the time.

The one thing that drunk me off today was some of the crowd's reaction to Kempson. He isn't a ball-playing centre-half, never was, never will be so jeering, mocking and booing him for hoofing the ball forward most of the time is pointless not to mention idiotic. His distribution was poor today but he's a Conference 'stopper' so expecting much more isn't realistic. He came into his own when they brought on their beanpole striker and they won little in the air despite their height advantage during the nail-biting last minutes.

Three wins out of four is a decent sign when we're only playing averagely well and it is nice to be winning consecutive home games for a change. Let's hope we can keep it up against tough opponents on Saturday.

I agree with you Maringer about Kempson - in this league he would be the first name on my teamsheet, he isn't a ball playing centre back, neither was Mark Lever or Justin Whittle  to name but two, who were fan favourites, but he will put his foot,head or whatever in  where it hurts to win the ball - the thug centre back from Fleetwood  is just a stopper, but we can never get the better of him!

At least we got the win tonight, although not convincing.
Was disappointed with the Stockport result, but that's 3 wins out of the last 4.
The big test will be against Wrexham on Saturday - can we up our game and make it 4 wins out of 5?
Although I hate to see us lose (obviously) at least we're getting the wins unlike the SCUNTS who keep drawing.
Goes without saying a few wins mixed in with a defeat, adds up to more points than to keep on drawing.
Will have a better idea of the season ahead after the next 3 games, also after seeing the Lottery results as me & the Barralad are planning a takeover (if we win £100million) - fat chance.

I agree with your comments about Kempson, heart on his sleeve battler who would lay it on the line for his team.

second game in a row i've gone away from bp happy, shaky after we conceded but dominated the second half, i have to agree the set plays and crosses were poor, they either didnt beat the first man, or were looped in with no real conviction, which were easy to defend against.

Eagle cannot cross the ball.Give the responsibility to someone who can.Simples.

There is very little that has infuriated me more  as a player, manager and spectator than corners/freekicks
that fail to beat the first man - centre backs trudge up 60 yards and then  have to rush back the same distance to
get back in position because someone who is in the team for the purpose  of providing decent service c'ant do his job.
Doesn't matter to me if its Eagle or whoever, although Eagle seems to have become a past master at failing to beat the first defender with his kicks - S & H really do have to work on improving our set pieces.

Best cross of the night was Green's for Coulson to score.

Well done Town.

So many corners, so few chances ! Need a big kicker that can reach the far side of the goal or the centre spot!

Pearson won't bother running up soon - waste of energy!

On the live match thread, the other interesting note this morning is the run of times the phrase - "Hearn shot, on target, blocked", is in use!

Six times on the report as I read it this morning.

It seems to be written in advance for regular use during the games - spotted it in reports over the last few weeks!

Can we recalibrate his feet to a poor golf shot sliding the ball either side not going straight to goalies or defenders??

At a rough count up, he has been through and shot accurately within the framework of the opposition goal at least 20 times, but no goals as yet.

However, after the lack lustre display vs Stockport.. a win, yes, it's a win, not pretty, should have been by more, but it's 3 points.

With Gateshead surprisingly losing, we are still only 7 points from top place.

A run of wins + a couple of draws would put us right up there, even if we're not firing on all four cylinders.

It's going to be a really tight league as anyone can beat anyone this year.

Also think it's time for Serge to drop to sub and come on in the 2nd half to blaze past tired defenders... and practice more centres at speed in training, please !!!

If we can get Hearn scoring, we can fly.... his chances are many, currently his goals are nil!

Anyway, roll on Saturday.... UTM !! Would be good to see more supporters turning up ??????

After a poor first half in which we hoofed the ball aimlessly, we totally and utterly dominated the second.

Still much to do (starting on Saturday) but thats 3 wins in 4, and that is (whispering) promotion form! The crowd was really bad. A 5-0 defeat sees 1500 fall off the attendance yet despite 2 consecutive home wins and a good win last time out at home, the attendance actually falls even further for last night? I don't understand, do the people of this area really want/deserve a professional football club??

Attendances throughout The BSP were disappointing last night. Only three topped 2,000 and none reached 3,000. Lincoln had just over 1,500 and poor H&Y 209.

He'd be on the bench (at best) in any team Id selected! Not good enough.

Happy enough with 3 points and 3 wins from 4 games, did think we only looked decent when we stopped the hoof ball, school boy errors are costing us goals and need to be stopped. Green needs to be signed (and come out from Ridleys shadow!   For Biccys) Elding did surprise me with his pace and I think him and Hearn look the better partnership, Disley did not have his best game but was supported well by Church and crosses are bloody awful by Eagle and Mokofo. When is Garner due to be back? Wood improved on his last few performances but I thought Green deserved MOM
UTMM

A win, but not a very convincing one.

Stand out players for me were Hearn, GREEN (m.o.m.) and Churchy.  

Kempson had a poor game, especially first half when he was just lumping the ball forwards with no direction whatsoever. He was to blame for the goal IMO, challenged weakily for a 50/50 on the edge of the area and the ball spilled to the back post where the striker committed Pearson and McKeown to the ground and tapped it in.

Makofo is so frustrating too as he has the beating of his full back most times but has absolutely no end product. Can't use his left foot at all so why we are playing him left wing is beyond me.
This just makes him so one-dimensional, all the full back has to do is stop him cutting back in to his right foot and send him down the left channel knowing the worst that can happen is they conceed a corner.
Up until Coulsen coming on and Eagle switching to a natural left side, the wingers failed to make any impact at all.

I thought that Disley had his least effective game to date, too often he gave the ball away and his distribution all game was to someone 5 yards away.  His set pieces were absolutely terrible, never beating the first man.

Was glad to see Elding given a start because once he's sorted out his confidence could end up being a useful player for us. Needed a goal to help this and got it in the second half following an excellent ball from Hearn.

Generally, after a poor first half and a stern word at half time we came out in the second half and pretty much dominated the game, we need to convert this possession into chances and goals more to kill teams off though as Kettering could of sneaked an equaliser in the dying minutes.

On a final note, we have to try and sign Jamie Green on a permanent basis ASAP as he's a solid left back and offers alot of things that Ridley can't.  He has the pace and mobility to get up and down the pitch, over lapping the left midfielder and I think he could link up very well with Rob Eagle, should Rob be allowed to play in his natural position.

Hopefully now we can take alot of confidence into Saturday's game against Wrexham and record a fourth win from five with a goal or two from Liam Hearn to kickstart his season also.

These are more or less my views. When Kettering had the lead, they pulled most players back and it was going to be diffiecult to break them down. They had a couple of good defenders and also a couple of quick players to hit on the break, but I think the town perfomance was reasonably good. Yes there are things to improve on especially set plays. 16 corners tells the story of the pressure we put on but we did not make any of them count. I am sure S & H are well aware of this and will try to do something about it.

Bit harsh on Disley, thought he did a great job breaking up the play and winning the ball back as usual. Surely that's his main job (win the ball and pass it short to someone who can play a bit more..)..? I also thought his set pieces were rubbish though, whats the point in floating the ball across for a corner? No one ever wins the header from them.

I agree with that (apart from the lotterty win part as I think it would be better if i won.)

Big test on Saturday. If we do manage a win it will be 4 wins in 5, and a win against one of the top sides. If it happens I think we can be justified in thinking that we are serious contenders for a play off place this season.

It was a Tuesday night Chris when attendances are generally lower and I cant imagine the events of the last few days help things along much.

Im with Chris, Kempson is a liability and clearly him and pearson struggle to play together, he is often out of position and he makes far to many mistakes.

maybe all those who stopped going because of fenty ,, will return on sat and we will have a gate of 6,000   i dont think so tho

I thought Elding had a good game. People are looking for and focusing on the poor stuff because he's started slowly and he should definitely have done better with the free header. However, thought his link up play was good, he worked hard, got into the right position to take his goal and showed some great touches. Thought it was clearly evident that he had a bit more class about him than most others on the pitch.

just as an aside when did we last pick up 9 points out of 12?
that's what those good teams call 'promotion form' isn't it? not a phrase we're regularly familiar with of course!

The Stockport fans around me in the main stand were giving Elding dog's abuse, from his time at Rochdale. You don't normally get that if you're a poor player?

Ok, to be fair he did play a lot better than he had in recent games and he showed glimpes of the good player he has proved to be in the past, but I won't agree with the Kettering fan saying he was class.

It was Elding's best game for us without a doubt. Hopefully it will give him the kick up the bum to show what he is capable of at this level. He managed a goal every two games at Stevenage so I suppose that I'd have to be reasonably satisfied if he could recreate that form...

I was thinking of some people who are up and out the door by 3 in the morning that I know however  

Stimson says on BBC he didn't like what the tannoy announcer said about the 41 away fans and didn't think it was necessary.
Anyone know what was said?? Can't be a dig surely as we've had smaller groups in recent times  

Jesus what do people want?? I think we played some excellent stuff from the 1st min to the last.We were sharp going forward getting the ball either wide early doors or mixing it with balls into the channels (not hoofs) for the willing and very immpressive elding.On elding he led the line superbly most of the game tiring late on but his performance fills me with optimisum.Eagle must have crossed about 25/30 balls so some of them were shite so what some were very decent.All in all a very positive performance and when we stop letting in cheap scrappy goals which i am sure we will i believe this side is looking very promising

Stimson says on BBC he didn't like what the tannoy announcer said about the 41 away fans and didn't think it was necessary.
Anyone know what was said?? Can't be a dig surely as we've had smaller groups in recent times  

Funny that, on their website they're praising the Town fans for applauding the away support when it was announced. As we do most weeks.
Methinks Stimson should lose the paranoia and get on with what he's paid to do.
