[Amelia Chaffinch]

Tuesday sees us travel to the northernmost of the Amptons.

Will this be another humiliating defeat or a snatched draw out of the jaws of a defeat?

Heaven forbid it will be a glorious win.

The Cobblers have been managed by Kevin Nolan for just short of a year. Previous management roles were at Leyton Orient 2016 and Notts County 2017-2018. Given that both clubs also had him down as a player at the same time, was he a player/manager?

He also had coaching roles with West Ham 2020 to 2024 and with the England U20 squad in 2024.

What a load of old cobblers

Northampton has been the shoemaking capital for centuries. 

They have a collection of old shoes at the museum if you're there long enough to have a look.

Managers' previews to be posted when they decide to spake.

But at least I do them.
