Our second away trip to Town
Northampton this time…
Won 2 Drew 2 Lost 3 For 8 Against 9 Points 8 Shock away win at Huddersfield being the highlight so far and they’ve also beaten Exeter, so again, they’ve done 2 of the teams that have done us. They’ve also drawn v Barnsley and Burton, but they’ve been beaten by Bristol Wycombe and Mansfield
For the record, we are Won 3 Drew 1 Lost 3 For 9 Against 11 Points 10
Not sure what to predict here but Evatt will be on cloud 9 with his ‘tactical’ victory over Crawley

looks like another win for us. odds on faves as usual. a typical "flat track bully" win under IE. stat padding his win % . fools gold.
last season it was 1-1. but we were down to 10 men for large parts and 1-0 down after 2 mins. Northampton did play quite well against Mansfield at the weekend. 65% possession. 16 shots. 8 on target. but lost 2-0. so you never know, things like that have a tendency to even out, and maybe they get a break against us.
no real big threats from them . Hoskins has done ok against us, but he didn't start last time out. came on as sub. Tyler Roberts . could be a threat. played at higher levels with Leeds and Brum. but never got more than 5 a season. 2 shots on target last time out. Tom Eaves is with them, but possibly injured.
i'll go 2-1 to us.

Can't say the two wins have given my any added confidence. As others said with the failed takeover and manager leaving the games couldn't have been better picked.
I just hope eventually we start putting in performances that a top team should. I know Evatt gets stick for "were the best side in this league" but why not own that and start to turn it on. 3 nils. 4 and 5. Again no reason why we can't but doubt we will.

We’ll smash these tonight. Evatt’s finally adapting the team to the way we’ve all been saying he should and the best thing is we have the players to do it now with our quick breaks. McAtee and Collins really seem to be settling down now and Dion looks to have rediscovered his pace so that system should really suit him. Let them have more of the ball but defend better then when our strikers do get forward our sideways crap hadn’t given them 10 minutes to get everyone back. A good win should restore more confidence and then no slip ups on Saturday and we’re comfortably in the top six for the next international break.

Let’s hope not because we really need the points not games in hand like we had last year. I haven’t actually heard of any doubts so hopefully alls good?

Serious question? What is up with Evatt that he can’t select an unchanged side and why does Charles get the chop so often, is he really that crap?? Every time someone scores a goal, it’s almost the death knell for the next game. We have had players scoring and being dropped the following game What are you doing Evatt, do you know, or are you just guessing?? Couple of examples, apart from Wednesday beating Bromwich on Saturday, WBA have stuck with the same squad and apparently made only one change, hence why they are at the top of the Championship Apparently, Birmingham have made very few changes too, but contrast that with Urinals in the Prem and ourselves and the answer appears to be inconsistencies in selection of players I can’t keep up with Evatt Has he gone yet??

A good half of us that was, considering the waterlogged parts of the pitch
Thought we dropped off a bit with 15 to go to the end of half and Town look dangerous now and again when they get into our half.
I’m hoping that they panic as much as we did at times when we attack their end as that looks the more waterlogged
Surely Charles had to come on to get us the next goal as they are a bit pathetic at the back and he’d have a field day
We also need to make a call on Schon and GT as one of them Will be seeing red if they’re not careful

A very good first half with the score but we seem to have dropped back into the tippy tappy football at the back just get the ball forward as quick as we did to score the goals COYWM
