    Northampton Town (FA Cup) Match Thread

    We play in L1, have not been in the same league as our "biggest rivals" (Villa) for years, and we are unlikely to be in same league as our closest locational rivals for the foreseeable. Add the above to the points I raised previously and the original post holds true. There is no need to resort...

    We spent a year playing in their stadium, much to the ridicule of many of the locals. In addition, we all knew they were bringing a big following, which always add motivation - hopefully I don't need to explain why. ST price has no relevance. Plus, we've just seen two goals in ten minutes...

    I get that it's the FA Cup and third game in a week, but considering how exciting it is at the minute, the reduced price and the extra motivation with today's opponents, it's a poor turn out.

    The Fortune against Shrewsbury was a step above. The Fortune since has struggled. Let's hope the former is on show today. My worry is the potential lack of movement, Fortune won't run behind like AA and RL is more of a creator than a runner, so ultimately we are relying on JOB and JM to...

    No Tudgay or Cole? You would assume injuries?

    I also broke this rule last Saturday and again on Tuesday. I've done it again today, I'm hoping for the same outcome......

    Ideally you rest those players who are essential to our league performance and/or there replacements are non existent, not ready, or good enough, for L1 i.e. you rest the higher risk players. With that in mind, I would rest: Ricketts - key performer, played every game so far on ever aging...

    Genuinely excited to see the crowds response to JC. I'm hoping for the same passionate atmosphere we experienced on Saturday.

    By defintion it's not your first game - you are exempt from the above rant!

    And prediction wise, I'm going for 3-0, JOB, JC and AA.

    Can't wait to hear all those attending their first game berate Murphy and then shut up when he creates a goal. Or criticise Martin for clearing the ball from danger, rather than taking on their centre forward. Or, final prediction, demand Stokes be taken off because their right winger has...

    Personally, I don't agree with booing/jeering individuals during the match. I'm not against booing the team collectively i.e. HT. As fans we still portray our dissatisfaction, without destroying the confidence of individuals. Then again, I don't agree with cheering opposition players when...

    Stokes

    He has worked really hard since being here, as evidenced by his ever improving fitness and ultimately performance. He is solid defensively, despite being left exposed by the various wingers that have played in front of him. He constantly tries to support the attack and overlaps where possible...

    Ironically we took a page out of the Westley play book, which actually proved useful. Within the first minute of the second half, RV somewhat cynically body checked their number 10. He barely touched the ball after that, which in contrast to his first half performance when he was a constant...

    Job

    There's no denying he changed the game today. He was a real leader in the second half and pulled the team through to conclusion. Not always his biggest fan, predominantly due to his lack of positional sense/discipline, but that does not matter as much when he is playing in the 10 role, as he...

    Unreal second half. Lost my voice (and my head!!) as a result. Fantastic atmosphere too. First half was awful and lots of negatives to discuss, but tonight I'm just going to enjoy this feeling.......

    Might be an anomaly here, but I really like Peterborough's kit.
