    Imagine the uproar in the Premier league if, for instance, relegated Norwich were playing Arsenal and fielded a team of mostly inexperienced youngsters. Arsenal won 7-0 which meant they finished 4th on goals scored and pushed Spurs to 5th therefore Arsenal securing the final Champions league spot and the financial rewards that go with it.

    However this is only 4th division Northampton so no one in the EFL really cares (except NTFC and their fans). 

    And if one of the big clubs did what rovers did Saturday it wound still be showing on sky sports now

    I think calling him the catalyst is a bit much, given Rovers were in the top 3 in the form table from the end of October to when he signed on deadline day in January. I doubt he'd go back on loan to Rovers next season anyway, but it seems they have first refusal on a loan in League One next season as a clause in the deal; but given there's been interest from Millwall I doubt it. 

    Taylor's interesting, feel like Stoke might want another season to wait for Jagielka to ease out, who's a regular at the minute, I wouldn't necessarily downplay clubs focusing on development by seeing how they perform at the next level and by keeping them in a stable environment, know some Rovers mates who've spoken to his dad who goes to all the games, and says he's enjoying his time there, as hard as I find  that to believe given it's Rovers, you never know. Especially as the place has a good atmosphere at the moment, they've been on frankly unbelievable form for the league since the end of October (think they're 1st in that form table) and wouldn't be surprised if Stoke went "loan him till January to see if the momentum continues."

    Connolly's interesting, my mate Mark told me Barton was apparently interested in him before he joined Rovers, and his contract's up in the summer. Could join Rovers.

    All seems more indicative of having a manager who, whatever you think of his scummy activities, is a notable player with connections; even if they lose these 3 I wouldn't expect them to suffer extremely, given momentum and the fact some of their permanent signings e.g. Evans, Finley have caused quite a stir too.

    Of course if they don't go up you never know, I think the biggest person they'd probably want to keep is Barton though, I feel like without Barton Anderson doesn't happen.

    Very good post mate
