Match Thread Northampton v Cheltenham (1 Viewer)

[Speedies_Chips]

Just about to watch this on Sky but was wondering if anyone has been allowed on the hill?

PS - I didn't really want this to be a match thread because if its anything like Colchester v Exeter , it will be absolutely dire!

That colchester game was shocking.

See Sixfields is as packed as when we played there

 

[Nick]

Have made a thread in football for the play offs

 

[Nick]

Lino didn't warm up properly

 

[larry_david]

Turned the first game off after 20 mins. Dreadful.

Backed northampton for promotion at the start of the season so watching this with intrigue

 

[Nick]

Penalty straight after the lino went off injured

I think Cheltenham have a girl in goal and she just saved a penalty.

 

[rob9872]

Conor Thomas no7

 

[rob9872]

Hussey playing too

 

[larry_david]

Chris hussey described as the best lb in league 2 there

 

[larry_david]

Drinks break when it's about 12 degrees and just had 8 min break with lino off. Ridiculous

 

[Tommo1993]

And the crowd goes wild!

players go off and get a drink after 22 mins. Lets hope they keep that rule next season so the fans can do the same

 

[Tommo1993]

Still feel the same when I watch Conor Thomas play. It’s like watching a Labrador just enjoying being out in the open.

Duly edited.

The hill has been fenced off to stop gathering to watch the game

 

[Monners]

All a bit long ball from the Cobblers. Cheltenham by far the better side

 

[Speedies_Chips]

I see Jordan Turnbull still runs like a duck.

It's madness isn't it.

 

[chiefdave]

Why are they having drinks breaks? Is it just because they're not sharing bottles so can't have them scattered around the side of the pitch?

 

[larry_david]

Rules because of the time of year. Of course they're not flexible to say, hang on it's 12 degrees we don't need it

Anybody remember when Jordan Turnbull was too good to play for us in league 2... funny how it’s all turned out

 

[larry_david]

Did us a favour for sure

Classic ...PUSB
Didn't Hussey slag us off aswell

 

[Alkhen]

Thomas scores

Liking Cheltenhams shirt be a nice Cov kit a shade lighter. Errea make quality kits dispite the un cool brand

A three legged Labrador and a duck - whatever next!

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Actually thought Thomas looked very decent. Ryan Broom looks a cut above. Be worth a punt if you could get him for a decent price. Only 23 and well regarded. Probably not where our priorities lie though!

I said this to him on twitter. He promptly blocked me the puff

These games are tough to watch, tried the Villa and Norwich games and switched over Spurs to watch Vera how sad is that, I’ll blame the wife for that. Got the scouse derby coming up and some intriguing relegation scraps but at the moment they are hard work to watch.

I'm wondering if this might be the point that people begin to realise it's all massively overhyped and it's the atmosphere the fans generate that make it more interesting rather than the actual football. All the headlines generated are around contentious decisions rather than actual gameplay.

Tinpot shite.

Can we say that yet?

Is he a sweeper?

 

[SBAndy]

Watford v Leicester earlier, 89 minutes of absolute shite and then a couple of moments of magic in stoppage time. Enjoying getting a football fix of sorts but have to agree, it’s not enthralling.

 

[larry_david]

Fair play northampton. Absolutely dominated start to finish. Morton on loan from wba looks a hell of a player.

Yeah I watched this game and enjoyed it
Watching Man City thrash yet another Premier League side they could beat with their B team didn't hold much attraction
