Despite the injuries last week that still looks a fairly strong XI.

Rowe to left back then
Title: Re: Northampton v TLOD
Post by: sedwardsdrfc on August 27, 2022, 02:32:56 pm
Not sure how I feel about Rowe as left back when Maxwell in on the bench. Unless he’s got a knock you’d think the higher up the pitch Rowe plays the better.

Big chance for Faulkner too

Tactical, surely. Where does Northampton’s top scorer, Hoskins, play?

Maxwell struggled vs Salford, Tommy shored that side up.
It will be an option, depending how they see the game going, to revert back.

I would have thought that Rowe is his “big game” LB selection from now.

Good line up.

Northampton humungous favourites on Bet365, can't really see the logic given the almost identical starts so far.

How is young Faulkner doing?

Rovers the better team, playing some good stuff at times, without many clear-cut chances. Faulkner I think has been very strong so far. Miller chasing everything but not really got into the game. Tomlin and Clayton can orchestrate things in the middle but defensively both slow, so we're liable to runs through the middle.

Omar Bogle has two more for Newport today, he's definitely found his level.

0-0 fair reflection of the first half. 2 very inventive corners from us and another from Clayton that was going straight in and nearly caught Burge out. They’ve created next to nothing

Post by: rover-n-out on August 27, 2022, 04:01:14 pm
Couple of scary moments from Mitchell, kicking along the ground straight to one of their players resulting in putting us under pressure at the back, and not coming to claim the ball till late, and having to clear the ball under challenge.
His kicking at times is dreadful, I'd love to know what % of his kicks go into touch, I just don't get it, if he's trying to find Hurst or Miller on the left, or any player for that fact, you'd think he'd practice and practice till he bloody well got it right!!

Just before HT the Northampton commentary team stated that there’s a lot of room for the home side to improve. Whereas Doncaster have been as good as they can be.
