Saturday 25th January fixtures

A more or less full fixture card, save Wxm/Brum who only just played on Thursday.

We face a Northampton side who we’ve already beaten twice this season, but so what and no game should ever be taken for granted.

Especially not since we’re between managers and with a bunch of new players to integrate, so once again we need to work out what the hell our best First XI is.

We’ve dropped to a mediocre 11th in the home form table given a recent run of averageness, vs the Cobblers’ 21st the the away table.

County always struggle against Crawley, and the fact they're so poor this season guarantees that we'll get a point at best.

Exeter v Blackpool has 0-0 written all over it

Massive game for us this weekend. A win here coupled with a shock up at Edgeley Park would catapult us into the playoff places. Even without a helping hand from Crawley, victory would see us climb above Reading.

Our outrageous run of form has been built off of a parsimonious defence (8 clean sheets in our last 9 L1 games) but we’ve not been goal-shy either. Going to be close to a capacity crowd and our shiny new attacking signings will be making their home debuts with everything to play for.

0-4.

Wigan thumped us 4-0 at our place such is the state of our defence, 3 of them set pieces.

Under the new gaffer we actually now look like we want to get forward in numbers and have some kind of game plan.

Defence is still very dodgy (rode our luck v Barnsley but were better 2nd half) and we are missing Conteh in the CDM role, as well as Promise up front who looks to be out for the season.

I will be there, as I was at Springfield Park in 1997 where Kevin Lynch sent off 4 of our players and one for Wigan (seemed proud of it too on the Undr the Cosh podcast....twat). Not surprisingly he bottled sending off a 5th for us.

Big game for us. Start of a run of 5 winnable games with 4 at home. Despite being pretty poor all season, we are 4 points off the playoffs with a game in hand, so in with a shout. These next 5 games will be make or break
