I wonder if there is going to be a minutes silence tomorrow with regards to 9/11?

Interesting that they lined up with 5 across the midfield. Wonder if they'll play that formation at home with our visit on Saturday. If that is the case, it could be a drab affair with both teams happy for a point.

I would urge anyone not to underestimate Northampton, despite their league position, they have a solid side and will be tough to break down with a rather sizeable threat up top. ;-)
Maybe one day, Carayol will find London...

Yeah, Americans and their "Engleesh". ;-)

"Pissed" to an American does not mean the same as "pissed" to an English professional social drinker.

To those who don't know, "pissed" to "Uncle Sam" means "pissed" as in seriously pissed off. :nod:

After 9/11, Americans were seriously pissed.

Have the funny feeling you will lose tomorrow and its for the same reason that I think we will lose because Northampton and Bradford City will come good. Best of luck though. It seems on our forum that Stanley cant even get in the squad tomorrow which is complete and utter crap.

Hi guys, a Cobblers fan here.

I know before the first game of last season some eejit fan of ours came on here and gave you all some stick which soured your views of us a bit. So I thought I'd come on here and show you that we're not all morons.

Obviously you've started very well again this season but I see that a few of you have have put us down to win. To be honest you all have more expectation in a Cobblers win than our own fans at the moment. It really depends on how your defence perform on the day. Pretty much every game this year with the exception of the first two, we have let in at least two goals which is making it very hard for us to win.

I don't know how well your defence has done, although your league position suggests they're doing quite well. But I have to admit to being a bit relieved that Guy Branston is no longer in your team. He was one of the very few people who seemed to handle Bayo Akinfenwa, so hopefully Bayo will be firing on cylinders, which is a scary thought. But either way if your defence is up to the task today you should be able to get something from the game, especially taking into consideration your away form.

Anyway, best of luck for the season guys (with the exception of today of course)!

I hope I'm wrong but if Bayo is firing on all cylinders like you say, I think our centre backs may find him hard to deal with, especially his size! Branno counter balanced him last time and Bayo did absolutely nothing all game but as you state, he's no longer with us!!

Were just gunna have to get it going through the midfield and up top and score more goals than we concede, I'd take a 10-9 win today haha!!

Bayo was certainly on fire against Southend last Saturday. He caused their centre-backs no end of problems and scored an absolute stunner too.

And knowing our defence, I wouldn't rule out you getting 10 goals either ;-)

I can see us winning quite comfortably today. Why? Simply, because even though it is my closest game, I cannot afford to go and we end up playing sh*t every time I go to a game.

Therefore, WIN! 2-0.
