But with Shox back in play, then if that happens, and if we just lose him for a game or two games, with Shox back doing what he can do, then that's not such a big blow.

So we might have got a little bit unlucky, but also lucky.

As far as those things go.

And Schock's very nearly got a goal from the first corner that we had after he came on.

Because he is so dominant in the box.

He's not only slightly taller and slightly more muscular than just about anybody else on the pitch.

He means it.

He wants it.

This is my ball.

I'm going to get this.

And that is such an important attitude to have when the ball is swinging in.

to either of the penalty areas to defend it and get there first and head it as far away from your goal as possible or to get your head in it and knock it into the net and so we've got him back and we've taken a point at Blackburn and any one of us would have taken that point before the game am I not right and yet we feel gutted we feel demoralized we almost feel defeated

Cobblers will go on.

Fact is, good point.

Takes us a point closer to survival.

And that's all that matters.

It's now 10 minutes after the final whistle.

I imagine John Messina is doing yet another one of his endless interviews in which he's always asked the same questions and somehow manages to make it interesting, even though his answer is interesting, even though his questions aren't.

So, John, a point at Blackburn.

How does that feel?
