Niche Cache. Semms Tzanev a bit unlucky to have been dropped
"One of those teams is Northampton Town who drew 1-1 with Stockport then won 2-1 against Leyton Orient but Nik Tzanev didn’t play either match. That’s three benched dates in a row so we can sadly deduce that Lee Burge has regained his starting spot.
No idea what Tanz did wrong and Cobblers fans seem similarly surprised about the decision. NTFC manager
Kevin Nolan recently had this to say as an explanation...
"We’ve been working hard with Burgey. Tans has been fantastic since I’ve come in. You speak to people and before it seemed like Burge was the number one and Tzanev was the number two but I don’t see it that way. I had a chat with Burgey about his training and everything else and he’s responded. You saw with the save he made in the first half. It’s an unbelievable save. I spoke to Tans when I picked the team. I don’t normally pull players to the side but I wanted to thank him for what he's done, but I need to see Lee and I need to see what we can do and what he can produce and I thought he was really good today in terms of his handling and everything else.
I’ve got two good goalkeepers and what I’ve said to Tans is that it’s about him pushing Burgey and making them both better game by game.”
Lame. But Tzanev did earn plenty of fans during his 17 consecutive starts so he’s ready to rock if Burge blows his opportunity."
