seen them a few times this season as I live nearby and have stopped travelling to a lot of Northampton away games.
I think the majority view from the stands is that it's less "possession football" and more "messing about at the back".
Teams have had a lot of success pressuring the keeper when he has to get rid of the ball, he looks a bit panicky, but he's a great shot stopper.
Local paper for tonight says still short of 4 players due to covid / injuries. Hopefully, there'll be a few with their minds on playing Man City 3rd XI the following friday night
BTW as the capacity is over 10k, even though I doubt the attendance will reach that level, you'll need a covid pass / negative test <48 hours
I thought they were artificially keeping the attendance below 10000 to avoid the need for passes for this game. Partly the reason they only offered us 800 odd tickets. Now I see they are "trialling" the requirement for a COVID pass in advance of two games where they will have over 10000 present (Man City FA Cup and Bristol Rovers in the league)...... no mention of whether this trial will extend to visiting fans on Saturday though.
