This is the last time the Cobblers won at home in the league on a Tuesday night.... 3rd October 2023! One unwanted record fell at the weekend. I think they have a real chance of ending another one tomorrow. bbc.co.uk/sport/football/669…

There is a consistent spine developing for the Cobblers. Back three of Donacien, Moore, Guthrie. The Evans’ as 6’s. JOBW & Dale as the 10’s. A lot more cohesion and understanding. It’s strong for L2 #ntfc
