Northampton Town v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 01.05.21

[hertfordseasider]

5-5

and I'm always wrong..

Can't see why!!!

 

[Insider]

Not sure what the formation will be.
It certainly looks like 4-4-2 but you can never sure with Critch.
Edit.
Fotmob and Beeb have it as 5-3-2.

 

[bleed_the_freak]

3-0 coast to the playoffs

 

[rease4]

Could go anyway but live in hope, 1 - 3 to pool. Good to see Keshi back on the bench.

 

[poolseasider]

Wouldn't have thought it was 4-4-2 with 5 defenders on the pitch.
Maxwell
Ballard Thornley Husband
Turton Dougall Robson Kaikai Garbutt
Simms Yates ?

 

[tangerine_neil]

Shame no Ward today. Hope he’s okay for
the next match.
I’d have gone for Embleton ahead of Robson.

 

[20togo]

not a good ground for us for getting a result but we've broke a few hoodoos this this season so we'll see. Think it's important we start well and try to impose our game on them rather than just sitting back and waiting to see what happens.

 

[Davepick]

How near to fitness is Gretarsson?
Ready for the play-offs?

 

[voyeur]

4 attacking players on the bench, good progress on the personnel front..

 

[HetzkeBlaster]

I'm pleased Embleton is on the bench and not straight in from the start. He's played well for us, but NC knows that he's going to have to rely on other players without him in any future game against Sunderland, so we need to continue to now see him as a bonus if he's available, and give more game time to Robson for his fitness.

 

[Love BFC🍊]

Gazette saying we’re playing 3-5-2
Simon Sadler Ben Mansford and Brett Garrity in the directors box today too

 

[tommytwojags]

According the their pre-match discussion, we were very lucky at Sunderland on Tuesday. Really?

We can't keep being lucky every time we beat the mackems

 

[HetzkeBlaster]

Wouldn't have thought it was 4-4-2 with 5 defenders on the pitch.
Maxwell
Ballard Thornley Husband
Turton Dougall Robson Kaikai Garbutt
Simms Yates ?

I think it'll be 5-3-2 out of possession and 3-5-2 when pressing?

 

[Mark_GT]

Let's hope it's three at the back not five
Fancy us to press on strongly today. Jerry's due a goal or three

 

[Scaramanga]

Come on you Seasiders

 

[BFCAleman]

We need to ensure they dont get an early goal as they are likely to come out flying

 

[tommytwojags]

They have 5 wins of of the last 7 at home and their best results were against play-off contenders. So it will be far from easy today.

IMO the battle at the bottom of this league is the toughest of all divisions.

 

[Long-shanks]

Party central with all the pre match dance music at NTFC....

 

[Tangerinenick]

Who put the tangerine flag up?

 

[HetzkeBlaster]

The Wigan game away at Hull will be key for them today. Hull already promoted may relax and let Wigan in. Wigan are 4 points ahead of Northampton with both having two games left. If Hull take control against Wigan, Northampton can get within one point if they beat us!

 

[we_need_a_bob_hatton]

Kai kai is out

 

[rease4]

Embleton starting

 

[Insider]

Embleton late change for Sullay with Shaw? coming onto the bench.

 

[Scaramanga]

 

[thefutureistangerine]

We really can't catch a break with these injuries

 

[we_need_a_bob_hatton]

down to Garbutt and Yates to get the goals and Ballard from set pieces.

 

[Halifax71]

Kaikai twisted sock?

 

[Johnno]

This has got to be the worst season of injuries in 40 odd years of watching.

 

[Levi501]

C’mon pool!!!!

 

[Macseasider]

What a shock Sully pulling out is. Big blow.

 

[Come on the Pool!]

Come on the Pool!! Come on the POOL!!!

 

[Halifax71]

Oxford winning.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Shrewsbury 0 Oxford 1

 

[Love BFC🍊]

Oxford 1 up

 

[tommytwojags]

I used to say he didn't affect the team but now I think he's a massive miss

 

[we_need_a_bob_hatton]

we have started uncharacteristically slow says chizzy.... err I dont think so....this is the norm.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Who dinked that ball over the top to Turton?

Lovely stuff.

 

[tangerine.com]

Oxford winning.

 

[tommytwojags]

Cobblers are struggling to field 11 fit players so any injury for them is big.

 

[Greggy Lane Lasher]

Who dinked that ball over the top to Turton?

Lovely stuff.

Yates

 

[Mark_GT]

Turts the Terminator

 

[Wizaard]

Unwatched pitch causes ankle damage to Cobbler.

 

[Wizaard]

Who dinked that ball over the top to Turton?

Lovely stuff.

Embleton

 

[Halifax71]

Lucky there.

 

[Wizaard]

Two fall down.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Yates

Embleton

The plot thickens!

 

[Johnno]

Lucky

 

[tommytwojags]

Looks like they've all been on the falling over juice

 

[JJpool]

Another bad start where we cant pass the ball or do anything. Ffs.

Yeah but second half we’ll blow them away
