Good Afternoon!

Excellent research, and after reading through twice and digesting all the facts I confidently predict a 4-0 away win.

Ladbrokes generously given me 160/1 for my bet.

Yes. Cobblers tweeted earlier -

Despite the rain the playing surface is in good condition and there are no concerns over the pitch ahead of this evening

It's a Disgrace Big Time

Team selection will be interesting tonight. I believe our flat performance on Saturday was mainly down to three things.
The first two being Labadie and Matt playing while not fully fit. It will be interesting to see if both play tonight.
Willmott being switched to the left side of the pitch having started on the right where he looked effective as did Poole until the switch. Hopefully we will see him on the right tonight.
We'll know in about 20 minutes or so.

Referee Antony Coggins

He was ok for our last match with him I think.

up against Sam Foley tonight !
