The Voice - Match preview Northampton Town vs Bradford City Saturday 29 April 2023 @ 3:00pm

If you fancy Theresa May your opinion of footballers isn’t worth a pizz hole in the snow.

 

It’s jog Tom, Jog.

 

Ah yes. The baying 8,000 egg chasing fans wearing Barbour who rocked up at Wembley, remember it well.

 

Rule Britania?. First of all, learn to spell. Secondly, what were you trying to imply mentioning Britannia?

 

What's a BRITANIA. Is it the local lager? Seems you have imbibed a few.

 

I am talking about our crowd

 

Oops, too much red wine with my meal.

 

Too much red wine? A concept I've never considered possible

 

@Fordy117 long lost cousin by any chance?

 

Every forum has a small band of wumming brethren.

 

Wummin brethren? I once shared a round of golf with your CEO and he told me all about the reputation of your knuckle dragging minority. We had a couple of pints of Tennants heavy afters. FACT.
Mannies off now.

 

You mean Aptamil. I hear they mix it strong in your parts.

I would have debated the point but you ended it with FACT. Can't argue against FACTS m8.

 

I don’t know what the FACTS are tbh. Thought it was a player nomination in any event. All the players nominate on who they have found throughout the season to be the most difficult to play against. He was playing RWB for most of the season due to injury woes at Northampton. So it is not like for like. Whilst I love Cookie dearly he is and out and out striker. Look at it this way, he will be wanting to show the Northampton fans who is actually the most difficult player to play against. A nice little incentive for Cookie.

 

End off m9.

 

Thanks for the informative write-up – nice counterbalance to the other Cobbler.

As has been said, we seem to come unstuck against teams that can operate anything that resembles a functional press. Despite having some good ball players, teams like Hartlepool & Gillingham had a lot of joy at VP with a simple press that disrupted our usual gameplan. An area of concern for us is at the back where we’ve become quite leaky. Following an impressive run of seven clean sheets in ten (four conceded), we’ve only managed three clean sheets in the last nine (nine conceded) - and two of those clean sheets were against lowly Crawley & Rochdale.

We seem much more comfortable away from home barring the recent result at Swindon where we failed to adapt to a handful of injuries on the night. The most notable loss was Harry Chapman who was putting together his best form of the season and his replacement, Theirry Nevers, has struggled. But away from home we seem happier to mix it up and our away form across the season is very strong.

Cook is obviously the main man for us but its players like Jamie Walker & Scott Banks that really get us playing well. If they have a good game, we’re a match for most. Expecting a response from us but we’ll need a big improvement if we want to get the result we need.

 

That is the most obvious WUM i have ever seen in my life. Someone is clearly bored

FACT.

 

Quite cute really, seems to think he'll get a big reaction but it makes you want to give him a pat on the head, bag of sweets and get him back on his Nintendo

 

Nintendo? What’s one of them? It’s 2023 you know

 

Anyway, there’s no doubt in my mind that Northampton will be nervous about playing us in their must win game.
We are on our day the best team in the league and losing to us will probably see them miss out on the autos on the final day as I don’t think they’ll win at Tranmere.
