Time for COME ON YOU WHITES...

Zico and Chris Price on the mikes, pxssing down as Hoss says, but this and Tuesday's game can be big markers as to where we are....couple of minutes to kick off....

[Bijou Bob]

A very large Chinese contingent in the directors box today. Interesting.

[TANGODANCER]

Full attention, full effort....we're on for a win...
Zico speaks in tongues, team no changes and we go....Come on lads. Peeep.....

Visitors in maroon, let's hope they need to fire some....and we hear that Bury are playing Millwall...high excitement..

Alf and Prats, Taylor and...cleared is the early move then the Cobblers get a throw. Morais sets us off, Madine hits turf, gets nothing and they immediately get one instead against Derik. In and.....a goal kick us.

[TANGODANCER]

Bit of to and fro, we get a throw. Short and Morais gets another throw. Zico wants a free kick, they get a goal kick instead. Some scores, throw them now and...Pat comes forth, Wheats gets in there and Madine can't keep the ball in so they get a goal kick. Dervite gets hacked, Ben wallops the kick. Taylor and.....oooohhh, he gets one across the box, Vela's shot's blocked and we get a corner. Morais and......cleared. We start again, fire one in and the keeper gathers.

Throw to them and...goes back and...a wallop sees a Cobbler offside. We fire on and....then Prats chops one.
Free kick them in their half and...we have some scores that matter naught and we now have a throw. Morias, Devite, Alf, throw us and.....Morais takes it.....and it doesn't end well and they clear. Wheater goes and....Prats hits one wide.

Morais and.....and...A lf goes, Zico makes two handball shouts then Prats wins a throw. And....some mither then....it breaks down. Officials missing shirt pulling in the box and thenScunthorpe go ahead elsewhere. Vela, throw them and the mic lads reckon we've started well. Free kick now and...Morais and.....towards the box, Wheatr volley, it gets blocked and cleared and....Madine doesn't get another foul appeal to the annoyance of the mic lads. We go forth, Dervite, Alf, Pratley, cleared and....Taylor, Madine and....a poor effort.

[TANGODANCER]

In and...cleared and they come forth and Beevers knocks it out for a corner them. And.....in it comes and....hits the bar. We clear for another corner and...and....Ben grabs it.

[TANGODANCER]

Alf flicks, they clear, we have some scores and.....a bit of to and fro then we get a throw in our half. Madine flicks, Morais tries, Zico says the Greek alphabet the we go and win a throw. Dervite does well , Beevers gets chopped by Richards (who's alread had one booking) and we get a free kick. And....and....Morais and....it went in well but was scrambled clear. We come again but go back and Ben wallops forth. Mention of the sponsors and then the Cobblers get a free kick.

We have a free kick now, Taylor goes, Beevers loses out and....Vela knocks it out for a corner them....Some chat, in it comes, we clear, Alf goes....and we get a throw.

[TANGODANCER]

Madine oses it, Wheater and Pratley go and...Madine lashed one from half a mile then Pratley does well. Vela, Morais and...they clear and...break. Madine.....we don't get a free kick and they break. They send one in and....win a corner as Wheater clears well. Time to get sorted lads, Morais, Taylor....cleared for a throw us. Score....score...Taylor, and...they hack clear. Cobblers get away with an offside and the visitors have a man off the field...Alf and,..Taylor and....the Cobblers player can't get on.....now he can. Madine, Taylor and...cleared, we go again, they clear, Derik does well then Beevers sets us off. Back with their keeper then Madine feeds Morais, Dervite wallops forth and they clear. Zico has a chat, offers some words of advice and we go again. Vela, they clear,Vela slips and they visit us. Free kick them as Prats gives one away. And....in and....Ben punches and....we get a throw.

[TANGODANCER]

Some uncertainty about a player then.....Zico goes mad at the ref as Prats doesn't get a free kick. Back with Ben.....and...we get a corner after a bit of good play between Madine and Alf. Corner, Morais and......and....and....Zico goes bananas as they get a free kick instead of us a penalty...again. Back all the way to Ben, Morais, Alf and....Taylor can't keep it in.

Ben wallops forth, Madine gathers, Morais does well, Taylor goes, Dervite, Beevers, long....and they have a goal kick.

[TANGODANCER]

Half time looms and we could still get that goal. Come on lads....throw them and....it ends with O'Toole has a wild effort. Back they come, we get a goal kick. Ben lines up a walloper and....a bit of to and fro, a bit of chat, they come forth and....Pratley does well and then gets a free kick against Richards. Ben hits it from deep and....Madine, Taylor...Throw us and a big one??? and in it comes and....we get a corner. Come on Morais, now's the time and...in and...a scramble and....another throw and Morais and......and(one minute added) Morais gets a free kick for another foul and...Morais and....and....and.....ohhhh, Taylors shot is cleared and .....it's half time and 0-0

[jmjhb]

Seems like we are playing well enough but just can't get the breakthrough.

[TANGODANCER]

Now's the time, while theyr'e watching Morais and Taylor, to have Pratley or Vela coming theough the middle and having a shot or two. In this weather a ricochet or a spill could let us in. Morais can still be just the same danger, but we need a bit of a plan B and to stay awake against getting hit on the break. COME ON YOU WHITES...

[DJBlu]

Northampton have done their homework and are nullifying our threat. We've had 1 shot on target and they've had a shot hit the bar.

Will need something different than crosses into the box as they've clocked onto that.

[TANGODANCER]

Here we go, Pratley leads the troops out and it's time for Part Two....Zico and mic mantells us how it's done. Fleetwood and Sheffield both drawing right now and.....14,255 anounced...

[TANGODANCER]

Ben wallops number one salvo and....some to and fro, Prats gives away a free kick and...(mic lads have seen the replay and reckon we should have had a penalty first half). Ben wallops again, Madine flicks but Alfie cant win it. Morais tries and the Cobblers lose out to Derik. Taylor now, Beevers, Wheater, Dervite....who makes a poor pass and the visitors come fourth. Prats wins a throw and....we have some scores (Sheffield go a head) ....mean while a bit of to and fro then Vela wins us a free kick. And.....Ben wallops, Pratley has an effort, they get a goal kick. I'll have that first goal of ours now lads if that's okay? Mic lads have a chat, Pratley wins a free kick and....he was heading for goal....Morais steps up and.....and....and....the keeper got in the way and Wheater can't put the deflection away. And....they have a sally, Wheater puts the ball out near our box, we clear for another throw. And....Zico moans at the ref..again..but to no avail. Fans sing, they have a free kick via Matty Taylor and....Ben punches well away. Back it comes and we get a throw..

[TANGODANCER]

More scores from nowhere and....the ref gets some more abuse as he gives the Cobblers a free kick thirty out. And....in and...score.....

[DJBlu]

Gonna take a penalty to get something out of this.

Really fear the responses on here at full time.

If we get one we'll tater em.

[TANGODANCER]

Well, that we didn't need. To much wallop ball claim the mic lads as the visitors fans warble. Ben takes a short kick to Derik, they clear, Derik gets another throw back to Ben and another wallop. Madine does well and....we win a corner. Come on lads, get one back.....and...and....ohhhh, just over from Dervite. Half an hour to get two gioals minimum. Throw us now and....Morais....loses out and...Wheater clears, they do likewise and we get a throw. Zico gives a lesson on how it's done and....and Alf gets cleared. Ben feeds Derik..we have a bit of magic from Alf and.....somehow the keeper wins a corner. We go again and....Pratley sails one over.
