    What a save!

    12' Racic shown a yellow card for a tough challenge on Smyth. Not much else to report in the opening exchanges here. Watch live: http://live.cafc.co.uk #ntfc 0 #cafc 0
    Quite right - Racic has no place in the game.

    Gonna be another scrappy one if we’re going to get anything from today. Not coping too well with their agricultural tactics and clever set pieces so far. Aneke a miss as a target up front.

    I knew nothing about Northampton before today but you’d hope Bowyer has watched them. Given the way they play, I can’t understand why Pratley started the last two and wasn’t saved for today.

    First 15, we haven’t been able to get our foot on the ball and play our possession game. Ball’s in the air a lot.

    Williams only had one touch so far. Don't know why he doesn't drop deeper and pick it up

    Midfield totally ineffective so far

    Don't know how that stayed out. Northampton the better side in the first 15.
    Sounds familiar  :)

    Good to see we are still the only football team in the world where somehow us having a throw on is negative for us

    This long ball football isn't working. Need to get the midfield trio involved more coz Northampton are dealing with everything well so far

    Because he's not Messi?

    Seriously, he's probably been instructed to play further up and make runs into the box. like he did for Wales?

    This is looking EXACTLY like a Pratley game

    Been some bits of nice one and two touch stuff, just missing that final quality touch or pass.

    Agree. Not showing for the ball. Panicking when they do have it

    All Northampton so far. Thank goodness for Amos!

    Is Williams playing?

    Difficult with Northampton stopping the defence from getting the ball to the midfield in the first place - they're doing well for me as Bogle is being left isolated so even when he wins the ball, the second one gets picked up by one of their player

    Exactly so the ball is going further than we want it to

    Northampton on the other hand have it nicely hanging for them
