Me too

 

[homer]

If a fully fit Howard plays, then we might nick this 2-1

If he doesn't play, or is nowhere near fit, then the best we'll get is a 0-0 draw - but only if we are very lucky

 

[Redditch Fox]

I think a draw would be a decent result. Northampton will be well up for this match - obviously - and are likely to raise their game.

At some stage we are bound to have a less productive patch and I think that could be now.

Obviously, people with any sense would recognise this and show some tolerance.....I just hope those that have little sense or reason don't cause too much embarrassment.

I really hope Howard is fit, as I don't have much (/any) faith in Hayles or Dickov... and I don't know what Chambers is capable of, but doubt he'd picked before those 2 anyway.

 

[Brauny Blue]

Not going to be easy this.
That said, away from home teams will give us a bit more space as the onus is on them to come forward.

Draw or narrow win hopefully.

 

[fox58]

be a close game, looks like Howard is going to be fit to take his place.

proberbly line up as we did last Saturday.

If Brown plays he will replace Morrison, not Hobbs

 

[alex]

If Brown plays he will replace Morrison, not Hobbs

Perhaps, but I am not convinced that's right. Are you?

 

[homer]

Perhaps, but I am not convinced that's right. Are you?

Based on the last few games, it probably is

 

[jonnyfox26]

3-1 to city

 

[alex]

Fair enough. I think Brown is probably in also to be a help to Morrison.

 

[Billyjof]

Draw written all over it.

Still one less game till the Championship.:icon_bigg

 

[Hazzman]

1-0

Goalscorer - Hazz with invisibility cloak slips in at the back post after a goalmouth scramble lasting 25 minutes off an Oakley corner. It goes down as an Akinfenka own goal.

 

[Graz]

Why does everyone seem to think this will be a tough game? Northampton are 13th in the table, and a loss could send them down to 17th (I think, can't be bothered looking who is playing who)

Why are people anticipating a tough game here or thinking a draw would be a good result?

Win, win, win! Stretch that lead further.

Home record's decent and with their season drifting in mid-table, this game is probably as big as it gets now.
