To give us our best chance we needed our best players available. It will disrupt the collective team that has done so well. I'm guessing Reece Hall-Johnson could slot in instead, or Jay Wiliams but he's not been close to the first team. Can't see us going to a back four after the success we've had with a 3 and wing backs. An interesting couple of days for KC and the coaching staff." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the guy who had been looking at our squad pictures and deciding we have an ugly team incapable of forming a boy band more interesting... I mean he could be right, but we do have the front man of Coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given I would have paid more than that in ticket, petrol and parking, as I couldn't get a ticket for the game I might well just go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Well I actually do get BT sport through my virgin media package - but someone can’t go now so they have offered me their ticket so I’d best take that option as I do like away cup games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby blood Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Looking forward to this game, will be watching it on BT sports, as I could not get a ticket, if Shinnie and Marriott are both fit I would deffo start them, so my 11 would be. Roos Wisdom. Davis. Clarke. Malone Bird. Shinnie Holmes. Rooney. Knight Marriott. Think this team would get us a 2-0 victory, let's get behind them with Marriotts pace, and have runners in behind, Holmes and Knight, with Rooney picking the passes off all game. And have some energy in there with Shinnie, and also Bird will keep the ball, and he has more movement than Huddlestone, come on you Rams, get us through, and hopefully get a big draw at home to someone like Chelsea.

Shipley Ram Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I don't like the sound of this, it's not like we're rock solid from set peices and crosses. It’s not just the attitude towards the Cup that’s different in lower divisions. The style of play that has brought Northampton recent success is not quite the same as that Phillip Cocu is trying to instill in his Derby team. Curle described his tactics against Burton in the following terms: “Plan A was to get the ball into [striker] Vadaine Oliver, upset them aerially and get runners off him. Plan B was for more of the same.” Derby’s slick passers would therefore be well advised to take care on long throws, free-kicks and corners when the lights go up at Sixfields. “We take our time and we work on those quite a lot the day before a game,” Turnbull says. “We’re repetitive with it. It’s come to fruition a lot recently. We score a lot of goals from set pieces, and we want to keep on doing that.” https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jan/23/northampton-jordan-turnbull-wayne-rooney-manchester-united-Derby-fa-cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just survived a haircut from my Cobblers supporting hairdresser (well I don't think I have NTFC shaved into the back of my head !!) Without being aware of above article/comment he confirmed that most of their goals come from set pieces. They apparently have six players around 6'2" or above and will play the long ball. They usually play 5 at the back but will miss the lad who was sent off the other night. Nevertheless Oliver their centre forward usually wins a lot of balls in the air and Goode their Captain at centre half is known as the proverbial brick sh@thouse !! It will be physical and if Rooney and/or Hudds play then they are not likely to get much time on the ball. Whilst good in the air they are very slow at the back and usually concede goals to fast breakaways. So it's not going to be easy or pretty. We will need to be 'up for a fight' from the off and ideally by the sounds of it we could do with Marriott and Holmes providing the speedy attacks, with ideally Shinnie putting his foot in in midfield and Roos will need to be positive with his punched clearances.!!

Bet you it's Waghorn & Marriott up front. Quote “We need to be aware and solid. You have to try and play football against them, which will be the challenge for us..." An amusing comment from Cocu.

Gritstone Ram Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Any decent pubs near by? Last time I went in the one above the ground but I bet that will be home fans only. Also Northampton Rugby team are playing tomorrow and they get bigger crowds ?? so it could be busy before and after the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Egg chasers tend to vacate the pubs just before 7, Town fans will hang in there a bit longer. You might get in the Walter Tull for a drink but it will either be packed or home fans only or maybe both. The bowling alley has a bar as do all the eateries at Sixfields. There are pubs in Duston where you will get in, but they are 15/20 minutes walk away. You should be able to get a drink in the ground up till kick off. Avoid going towards the Town centre as that's closer to the Rugby ground therefore busier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
