Owen Dale

So we've just ticked over that hour.

I saw the mention of Owen Dale earlier as well.

I still think he would have been good to have back.

But yeah, that was possibly...

I would not want this life.

[laughs] To quote Beaumont for the BBC, "Owen was on the phone to the manager and his agent while I was in labor.

They waited for me to give birth, and then he went out on loan pretty much as soon as I was out of hospital." Owen Dale's loan deal wasn't to a local club, but to Portsmouth, a city more than 200 miles away.

His partner, Jessica Beaumont, had never even been there, and the pair had only just gotten the keys to a house they had bought.

They would end up staying in it for just one night.

We can't live that way because we have to prepare for life after football.' Adding to the uncertainty of where they will be playing is also the possibility of relegation or injury.

'When we were at Portsmouth, Blackpool was still his parent club, and they got relegated,' says Jessica.

'Owen wasn't even involved that season, but his wage was still affected.

that was what I was thinking I can't think of his name

Owen Dale Bisons yes his grim yet knowledge Kello played for Exeter

is it

Ryan Edwards over there

They had a couple of nice moves involving mainly O'Brien-Whitmarsh in midfield.

Owen Dale was probably their liveliest player and had a couple of shots from range, but they just look far too blunt in attack.

To have only five touches inside the opposition box when you're 2-0 down is borderline criminal, if you ask me.

Couple of things from us.

Brett Nurse says, Dear Neil, I believe Owen Dale is going to be a huge player for NTFC this season.

Runs his bollocks off, bit of quality, fans will love him.

Who is your favourite ever Cobblers player with two first names for a full name? Best regards, Brett Nurse.

But as long as we're being competitive and we're starting to create chances and we start to see improvements every week, then I think that's good, isn't it?

I was just going to say sorry Danny one of the biggest differences was when Owen Dale came on I know he wasn't on for long but he instantly A wanted the ball and wanted it at his feet to run at them which made such a difference the only other player that did that a little bit really was probably o'brien whitmarsh in the first half a little bit and that wasn't he was really good he was he was excellent and wasn't necessarily running at them in the same way and it was sort of getting himself out of trouble and driving forward which was equally as effective um but i think that little cameo from dale is what what we need um Because you're right, Harvey Saunders was out wide a lot, especially in the first half.

But even then, he's sort of relying on a diagonal cross-field ball.

The defender's probably going to get back and at least challenge for the header.

And I really like, really, really like the look of him.

Same as Dale.

I mean, one of the things that I really loved and enjoyed sitting next to Neil on Saturday was when Owen Dale came on, he did a... a run down the East End touchline with

the ball.

Sorry.

Is that Dale? Yeah,

Dale.

Owen

Dale.

When Owen Dale was injured, he was like, oh, we'll stick him out the wide left because, you know, he isn't naturally in that role.

He's got to play in that little pocket.

And that's where he's dynamite.

Sam, sorry, this just popped into my head.

Is he not just exactly the same as Owen Dale? Are they not of a similar ability and everybody was hell-bent on they didn't want Dale back? But I don't think Sorinola personally is any better than Owen Dale.

That's my personal view.

I think as a winger, he's no better than Owen Dale.

I think we've talked...

Everyone has their...

under the Nanskaville and Edwards caretaker spell, going into Muzlic, where we did play 3-4-3, and that was probably Matt Sorinola's best spell for our goal.

So, I think there is that.

since my 30th birthday and the masterclass that was, of course, Gerry Yates.

with those two goals and a certain Owen Dale who's not flourished since that performance but yeah that was crazy being 2-0 down and winning 3-2 I think since then we've won three of those four games I think I might have got that wrong but I don't know.

This is the game I can't call.

I didn't feel good about Barnsley just because, you know, when everything's going well, something has to happen.
