N'ton have got some pretty decent players who could cause us problems. I didn't know Lewis McGugan was there and Dingle Long is a good striker at this level. Grimes can play a bit too. Will be a tougher game than their league position suggests.

Beat me to it. How’ve they got McGugan?! Smallwood will need to ensure he doesn’t get time on the ball to dictate play.

That being said, no Mercer, no problem.

Northampton 1 Rovers 3

I'd have stuck the training cone or Willem in for Whittingham and bar Nyambe were looking good. 

[skous18]

Any country showing the game?

[JacknOry]

Definitely a bit stretched this squad but that should ease with Bennets return and Evans too.

 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Another one we need to grind out without our full squad. Bench looks light on attacking options. 0-1 Rovers-Dack

Ward playing so we won't be getting a clean sheet today.

Oh F@ck!

[G Somerset Rover]

Crap, that’s the one player we needed fit. Not feeling quite as confident now.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Ward in. Not good. 

[McClarky]

Anyone else got a blank screen on ifollow?

[Tom]

Terrible news for us with Mulgrew out

[Bigdoggsteel]

Can't see a win now. Hope I'm wrong 

[blueboy3333]

Are the ifollow crew up and running and willing to provide updates? Christmas spirit 'n' all....

[Cherry Blue]

Scott Wharton joins the bench.

Should just copy and paste this each week for a first update   - Bit scrappy , rovers have had a couple of decent attacks, Dack harassing and trying to make things happen in equal parts, Northampton seem to be targeting Nyambes side

[LDRover]

Every single opposition scouting report must highlight Nyambe as a weakness. It's vital for our promotion prospects that this area is addressed in January.

Cheers PB. I think I'd be happy with a draw today.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

1-0...

Hope it wasn't Ward.

who to would help

[frosty]

Feels like we've conceded a few off corners lately....

We could do with an equaliser before HT.

[blueboy3333]

LT:-

Pierre wins the initial header from the corner and looks like Foley may have got a touch to turn it over the line from close range (1-0) 

From a corner. What a surprise

[Tom]

FFS come on Rovers need a win here
