    fresh from their fa cup defeat at bsl luton town, the cobblers entertain the shrews next saturday. in addition to the fa cup result the cobblers have had other disappointments.
    results

    L gills a 3-4,d h millers 1-1, Lh bulls 1-3, L a bantams 1-2, L a vale 0-3, L h creepies 0-1

    league

    the cobblers languish in 20th position in the league
    p17 w4 d4 L9 f20 a28 gd-8 p16 pos 20


    the shrews handily placed in 4th are chasing a hat trick of away wins ahd hopefully our internationals will be back in the squad. it is high time town scored a few goals, and i take town to win 5-1, collins 3 wright 1 gornell 1 att 2998. let us hope town go hell for leather at the cobblers!

    At least with Robinson being put out to pasture we might not et him scoring against us, unfortunately they also have Langmead on their books.

    We know that any game is tough in this league - Northampton have some talented players and a manger with a good track record so it is rather mystifying to see them just above the relegation zone. The game there last year was the best I saw all year - we seem to be grinding games out at the moment but I hope to see Ainsworth and Collins to return and I am predicting 2-0 to Town.

    In a BBC interview earlier this season Robinson was suggesting that the team was not gelling, yet was full of quality players. Just goes to show how tinkering with a few players can change things.

    gary johnson "leaves by mutual consent" ,northampton now managerless,
    is this good or bad? normally when we play managerless/ bottom of the league/ 10 games without a win teams, we have struggled in the past, but have faired slightly better under GT, no doubt he will have them focused. i rememeber last season we had a hell of a game at there place, that boy jacobs scored a real belter, theyv defo got talent, and are dangerous, but if we can play at our best for NINETY minutes, we could do the job

    Interesting that he never managed them against us - in THAT game last season he was appointed manager shortly after, and he resigned just before playing us! He is obviously scared!

    I think we will win 3-1, Robinson breaking his duck but Gornell, Collins and Richards all scoring.

    4-5-1 again please. We won't be playing a demoralised team and may get a backlash. Need to be tight and look to convert a chance or two to win, but a draw would be no disaster.

    He won't be able to do that. He has already thrown all of his toys out of the pram it would appear.
