Mansfield v Northampton (Monday)

[EricSabin]

Sadly can't get promoted on Monday, but I'm bloody excited for this one nonetheless. 1750 Cobblers fans will be on their way up for this one so it'll be a good day, reckon we will win as well, Mansfields season seems to be fizzling out.

2-0 Cobblers

Fixed for you.

 

[Baratheon]

Foregone conclusion unfortunately. I hope it's not a complete tanking but I can't help thinking that's exactly what we'll get.

 

[Richard Cranium]

It will be about 0-4.

1-23 on shots

 

[MattStag]

It'll be Mansfield 0 for a fact and it's just a case of how many will Northampton get.

 

[LordJord]

Well hopefully john joe dosnt get sent off after last seasons stupid red card! Will be there tomorrow to see the game and hopefully no more fights in amongst our fans.

How close is the train station to the ground? Unsure whether to drive on my own from Kettering or jump on the train.

 

[Tubthumper]

only about a 4 min walk staight a-b

 

[Nelza82]

Mansfield requesting our fans stay off the pitch an sit in our allocated seats.

Suspect that will make some of the idiots take that as a challenge.

 

[EricSabin]

Always hard when a stand is packed. All it takes is 10 or so people to be awkward and the whole thing goes to pot.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Jord train station is at the back of that retail park behind the away end mate. Allocated seating in a full away end never usually works!

Not far at all mate.

Not far at all mate.

That bloke was quicker than Ryan Cresswell

 

[Richard Cranium]

Oh god I've just realised this is as soon as tomorrow. Might stick £20 on Northampton so I've got some extra beer tokens for after the game!

 

[LordJord]

How has lee Collins done for you guys? Majority of our fans were upset to see him go although we clearly have improved since his departure.

Early night tonight Rich, then you can get up early and watch Los Campeones ride into town

 

[Richard Cranium]

I'm up early to get plenty oiled up so it's bearable to watch a team that's had 3 shots on target in about 6 games.

Haha! Been a good season for you lot after last year though, surely? Similar to ours last year, playoff push that died out. Who knows, this time next year...

It has, A lot of improvement made but we will need the same scale of improvements if we are to be top 7 next year. Certianly more positives than negatives, Just hope we go for it tomorrow, We have nothing to lose but Murray isn't any different to most these days. They set up to not lose a game of football.

 

[LordJord]

I have just realised daniel alfei is at mansfield. Him v Holmes just isn't fair.

He really was shocking for us, going from him to Maloney is a crazy jump in quality.

 

[LordJord]

Any chance the game could be called off?

 

[Richard Cranium]

Just got into Spoons Lord Jordan, It's abit wet outside but it's not rained in the last hour or so. I'd say game on

Game on.

 

[EricSabin]

Game on, in a Spoons in the town centre. Up the teyn.

 

[EricSabin]

What an atmosphere in the away end already

Looks full to me, your inflatable idea was a bit crap though - A crocodile and a few balls.

Northampton

Cheated out by the ref unfortunately. Didn't think McGuire fouled him for the red and if he was going to send him off he shouldn't have played on with the advantage. Thought the penalty was a dive also.

 

[EricSabin]

The ref was disgraceful, any time anyone hit the floor it was a foul. Our penalty wasn't a pen, so many terrible decisions were made all afternoon. Wilder got his formation wrong, never seen him play that since he's been here, and in the second half we were all over Mansfield. Not sure about the abuse our plays got walking off, they'd been kicked all afternoon and had no support from the ref. He was honestly disgraceful.

He was terrible for both sides, you were not cheated out of anything

 

[LordJord]

Couldn't tell if it was awful defending or smiths fault for the first 2 goals. Other than that mansfield didn't really create anything but had spells of pressure, wind made conditions interesting. The 433 with 3 strikers really didn't work. Holmes came on and lashed one off the bar (no idea if it was over the line) and just generally ran at the defence.

Certainly not our finest performance (havnt been at our best last few weeks) but we remain unbeaten in ages and continue our march towards the title.

Btw what happened at half time?! Had about a 30 mins half time, ran and just made my train fortunately but loads going to miss it!
