Today will be our most difficult game of the season. A few of us have implied that Northampton are pretty much promoted and therefor may not be on point today, I couldn't disagree more. If they win today it secures them automatic promotion regardless of the rest of the fixtures. So, in my opinion they are gonna be playing like its a playoff final. This could open the game up a bit which would go to our advantage but if I'm honest I can't see us getting anything more that a draw today and would take that gladly. I hope the Gas give me a big surprise today. UTG!!!

Plus they've booked the league trophy for their Luton game. |

Dunno about the OP.
If we can frustrate them for 15/20 mins, or even get a goal, suddenly the picture changes.
Northampton don't need to win, they've been off the boil for weeks and teams in their position slip up nearly every year before sealing promotion. I think there's every chance we could cause an upset.

I hope the Gas give me a big surprise today. UTG!!! I think we've already had that at Fratton Park? All the pressure is on Northampton today, opening of their new stand after the early season finance issues, a sell out crowd, promotion if they win, meanwhile we've just got to do what we've been doing all season, turn up and play to the best of our ability. Given we're the from team Div 2 and are likely to set a record for the most away wins this season I can't see it would be a surprise if we win, just it won't be easy to win. If we could snatch the first goal it will be a very interesting game. |

Sure, but my point is, they'll still go up as champions whatever happens today. And they know it. |

Looking at the Norths forum they have been riding their luck the last few matches. I think we will win.

Expecting a hard game, but Yeovil and Exeter have been in good form as well. Games are looking harder now than they were a few months ago.
Ollie Watkins looks an incredible talent at Exeter. Only played a few games, but has loads of assists and a few goals already. The YouTube video is from about 5 games and some of the stuff he has done in them is fantastic. Going to be tough when we play them.

I would take a point, but that said, we're a dangerous team, capable of scoring goals, and let's face it, we've got more probably riding on this result than they have! They'll get their promotion at some point in the next few games. We're battling to have a chance! Utg

With Rovers losing four of their last six away games and Northampton only winning three of their last six home games (+3 draws) its a hard one to call.
Rovers could as easy take a battering as they could take a point or maybe even get a sneaky win.
I hope to be proved completely wrong but I see a 3-1 home win in my crystal ball

I think if they win and Oxford don't, they will be champions (or maybe Oxford have to lose. Could work it out but can't be arsed) |

Northampton draw for promotion! Well done them, they fully deserve it following their financial situation earlier on this season
