As well as Chris Lines and Keith Curle, they also have Cian Bolger at CH who we had on loan from Leicester. Thought he was much beter than Parkes, and a better driver too

Didn't think either of them were that great to be honest. Wasn't Bolger at Fleetwood? Can't have impressed there is he went to Northampton

Whatever the odds it's a massive game for Garner, will the team release the hand brake for him as he craves for on the touchline, if not then he must walk the plank surely.

Can't have impressed there is he went to Northampton Think you will find Bolger did very well at Fleetwood in his three years there. 85 appearances and nine goals would in my opinion confirm that. Then had one season at Lincoln with 45 appearances and 1 goal before going to Northampton.

At least we know that this game will not be held up for ages whilst somebody miles away tries to interpret how unfathomable handball rules should be applied.

Northampton probably looking forward to this game with a great deal of relish.

Normally supportive and patient, but I think I have t agree with this. Should we lose and play powderpuff football at the back, and lack of any penetration up top, its not all about personnel, and would need to be personal.

Northampton are like something out of Land of the Giants, or at least the Harlem Globetrotters. Them losing last Saturday was the worst possible result for us. They will relish playing against our back three. Still, this is football so you never know but I’ll be marking an away win on my accumulator.

Great - so a bet on Northampton to win (draw no bet) might have some value! ch-ching..

This really is a must win game. I'm not overly concerned by the performance (my expectations are very low) but this is a fixture we need to gain 3 points from. Sadly, I suspect that Northampton are thinking the same.
As for Bolger, he did OK for us. A little raw but you could see that there was a good lower league defender there. A season playing alongside Craig would have brought him on - just as it did for Kilgour. Bolger had a successful period at Fleetwood - not sure why he left and ultimately ended up at Nothampton via Lincoln. Perhaps to be nearer the family home in Leicester? Just guessing really.

All Keith Curle has to do is get his players to turn up and not do a Sunderland. For me Garner’s two wins have both come against teams who weren’t at the races. If every Northampton player puts in a 6 or 7/10 performance we’ll do well to get a point.
On the other hand maybe they’ll have a cushy journey down and roll over and let their tummy be ticked and give Garner a chance of a win.

Northampton are second favourites for the drop despite taking 4 points from their first 3 games. They were lucky to come up last season and are expected to go straight back down.
I would take any sort of win because we're rock bottom and desperate for the points but we should really be dominating this type of home game and winning comfortably if we're going to avoid a relegation battle this season.

Can't see anything but a comfortable win for Northampton, who will bully us all over the park.
Still, at least we'll have our usual 25-30 minute period of tippy-tappy possession football that ultimately results in, at most, a single shot on goal.
