    Small having a quiet game after a busy looking opening 5 mins or so

    As an aside, those living in the East of England may have seen something on the local news yesterday about Northampton Town FC.

    Apparently yesterday they were celebrating 60 years to the day since they won promotion to the top flight for the first and only time in their history.

    (They were relegated after one season and returned to anonymity ... even in Northamptonshire.)
    Skippered by our old captain Graham Moore - Wales international, ex-Chelsea, ex-Man Utd. 
    Our old player-coach and manager Theo Foley was their left back. 
     
    Charlton Legends.

    That's headed clear, comes to Small on the edge of the box but his shot balloons up into the Jimmy Seed.

    We've played 30 mins & have had no real sustained attacks. Goal came out of nothing really. 

    On the other hand Northampton have had a number of crosses / corners and the ball had been bouncing around our box numerous times.

    Ball's pinging about in midfield, Goddne gets jumped into by his marker and we have a free kick midway in their half.

    Small has had his shot which nearly went over the Jimmy Seed; next one will hit the back of the net !

    Blatant foul on TC goes unpunished

    I am not having it that McIntyre is a better bet than Mitchell.

    I can see Small getting hooked at HT here. Been absolutely hopeless so far. Berry has had a go at him and Nathan Jones has also been in his ear twice.

    Docherty is very willing but his passing is appalling

    See we have a Northampton ref here, how wasn't that challenge on TC not a foul

    That comes to nothing, although it looked like TC was fouled and the ref wasn't bothered.

    Their player has taken none of the ball there. Wasn’t even close. Odd refereeing.

    Are Northampton safe from going down?
    Nope, not yet. But they will be, the way they are stopping us playing.

    I thought that was a good tackle on TC, ref is easily confused

    Makes not winning this all the more frustrating, assuming we don't

    NHants give the ball away to TC, he's fouled and we get another free kick in a similar position to the last one.

    This time it goes far post, Ramsay has a go at a header at the 2nd attempt, and the keeper grabs it.

    That keeper def has the ball in his hand outside the area when he clears the ball...

    Three good attacks but can’t quite get the ball in the net

    TC is our only threat. Take him out the side & we're merely kick & rush.
