It's All World Cup To Me

Another defeat in League One for the Cobblers came at the hands of managerless Bristol Rovers on Saturday. While we may have been in every game we’ve lost this season, Saturday has left us wondering if a reset of our expectations is required. Charles and Danny discuss what’s not quite working for Northampton Town at the moment, read through fans’ Three Word Reviews and answer listener questions se...

The Cobblers had nothing to fear at The Toughsheet Community Stadium according to Jon Brady last week. Yet for the first 20 minutes of the game, Northampton looked scared every time Bolton had the ball. Thankfully, Bolton Wanderers failed to take full advantage and a Sam Hoskins consolation kept the score to a respectable 2-1. We discuss the Cobblers latest League One result and Danny talks us thr...

It’s only 4 years since Bolton Wanderers were saved and the countdown clock on Sky Sports News was stopped in the 11th hour.

Bolton were one of the pre season favourites for...

Much like our beloved Northampton Town, Shrewsbury Town were predicted to struggle by the pundits this season. And after sacking Steve Cotterill in pre season, most Salop fans seemed to be worrying about what lay ahead for their team in 23/24. In came former Cobbler Matty Taylor to take Salop to a new era but that time feels a long way away at the moment. Shrewsbury have won just three of their op...

Northampton Town got back to winning ways on Saturday with a comfortable 2-0 win over Exeter City. The Grecians must be sick of the sight of us, having not managed to beat us since a 3-2 win back in December 2019. This time around goals from Sam Hoskins and Patrick Brough secured the three points for the Cobblers and we couldn’t be happier. Charles, Danny, Neil and Chessie are all on board for thi...
