Its Monday 16th September 2025 and in today's show we discuss yet another defensive horror show as we come away pointless from Saturday's trip to Sixfields, a result which sees us fall to second bottom of the table, already eleven points off the play-offs and thirteen off automatic promotion. It can’t get any worse, can it?

Northampton 1 - Blackpool 0

Talking points

• No clean sheet in 14 matches - Why cant Steve Bruce sort out the defence when he was a defender himself - has he lost the dressing room? Is he spending enough time at the training ground? (lowest XG and high XGa suggest it’s not simply ‘the defence’ but the entire system)
• Why is Horsfall not starting and Ihekwei is?
• Why haven't we signed a left footed centre half?
• Why isnt Zac Ashworth, a specialist LB playing at LB
• Why is Albie Morgan playing on the LW? (also Honeyman in previous games)
• Why do all other team appear fitter than us? (lowest tackles made in entire league suggests lack of ‘fight’) 
• Bruce in or out?  Show poll
