They should have Tom Youngs as co commentator on Radio Northampton with Ogles. Purely so they can ask him about being a reading champion.
Shame it never really worked out for him here due to injuries as he was very good at Cambridge prior to joining us. See that he has a battle on now with MS as well.

Could be an entertaining game with gales predicted, and hope that pitch holds up considering it’s meant to rain all day from 6am

Now down to "Gusty Winds and heavy rain" and that's the BBC website which tends towards exaggeration.

Can't remember Docherty but can remember Weaver who was a winger I believe. I don't think he was a rated player! Scored 9 goals in a not so great team!

Cantab??
abbreviation for Cambridge: used after someone's name and qualifications to show that they have a degree from Cambridge University:
Miss G. Grower, B. A. (Cantab) (= she has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cambridge)

We are at home to Cambridge United on Saturday, one of our nearest neighbours with some 60 miles between Sixfields and The Abbey by road. The U's have had a tough start to the season, 12 winless games in all competitions from the start of the season before that upturn OAP mentions, five straight wins before they came up against a rampant Posh outfit.

Starting out life as Abbey United back in 1912 (there was a former Cambridge United around at that time not connected to the club) they played in the lower reaches of non-league only moving from the Eastern Counties League to the Southern League in 1958 by which time they'd adopted the Cambridge United moniker for themselves. They won election to the Football League in 1970 at the expense of Bradford Park Avenue. Under the stewardship of Ron Atkinson they were soon playing at Championship level (1978) and had a best ever finish of 8th place in 1980. Successive relegations in 1984 and 1985 with just four league wins in each season saw them find their way back to the basement division before John Beck came along and led them back to the second tier with successive promotions in 1990 and 1991. After just one season they were relegated and spent the rest of the nineties and early noughties playing in the bottom two divisions. Worse was to come though with relegation to the Conference in 2005 and it took nine seasons for them to regain their EFL place back. After promotion to this level in 2021 largely down to Paul Mullins 32 goal haul they are now playing their fourth consecutive season in League 1 and finished 18th last season.

Gary Monk is currently at the helm, just seven wins though in 30 games for him and this follows losing records at both Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham before. Monk took over after Neil Harris was lured back for a second spell at Millwall after just 14 games in charge of the U's. Previous managers include ex-Cobblers bosses Gary Johnson, Ian Atkins and Colin Calderwood.

Cambridge have managed just one away win this season in all competitions, that coming at Stevenage a month ago. Having lost their other six league games they bring the leagues worst away record to Sixfields. Having scored just 13 league goals this season its no surprise to learn that their top league scorers have two goals apiece. Shayne Lavery came back from a two month layoff last week against Barnsley, Dan Nlundulu (on loan from Bolton) scored in that game and Sully Kaikai scored the consolation in that 6-1 defeat at Borough.
Midfielder Korey Smith is their only ever-present this season. He was picked up on a free from Derby and the 33 year old midfielder is approaching 500 league games during the course of his career. Ryan Loft is an option off the bench usually, the 6ft 4" target man is looking for his first U's goal following his move from Port Vale in the summer.

Overall, according to Marvos records this will be the 50th meeting between the sides in all competitions. We have a better away record than at home with the U's triumphant 10 times in Northampton compared to our seven wins. Last season we picked up one of those wins with a 2-1 victory earned on the same weekend of the year as this weekends fixture. Kieron Bowie and Sam Hoskins scored early in the second half and despite Cambridge pulling a goal back a red card soon after put paid to their hopes of snatching something from the game. 6,929 were in attendance with 1,213 U's fans included in that number. The return game at The Abbey ended as a 1-1 draw earlier this year with John Guthries late goal earning us a point.
Cambridge's last league win at Sixfields came in 2015 when a first minute Harrison Dunk goal was enough for all three points.

OAP has already given the lowdown on the ref, he last whistled a Cobblers game back in September 2023 as Barnsley left Sixfields with the 3 points. He was the ref who sent off Scott Wharton late on in our game at Leyton Orient in 2020.

Will be hard game. Cambridge now are fighting for their lives.
I'm more assured with our defence, and hoping for a cobblers win!

I think he knew that but was skilfully bringing the thread back round to the Cobblers again. He is cleverer than you might think is our Evers.

Then why does he need everything explaining to him?
