SRL88 Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 SRL88's Career - November 2016 - Northampton Town FC League One A very good month in an overload of away fixtures which could have gone very badly. We were brilliant at The Ricoh as we completely tore through Coventry. Jermaine Beckford was on fire on the day, grabbing a brace, whilst also setting up the other two in a 4-1 thumping. We travelled to the south coast to play Portsmouth and shocked everyone when we took the lead. Just as it looked like we were heading towards all three points, Portsmouth levelled things in the 90th minute to deny us the win. A pretty solid draw away to the MK Dons followed before we were comprehensively beaten away to Brentford. The month ended well though we we comfortably beat Stevenage 2-0 at Sixfields. Johnstone's Paint Trophy South Quater-Final A solid win away from home which we fell behind in. We turned the game around very well with Darren Pratley, captain for the day getting us back into the game. We added a second and third in quick succession to take the win. We face a strong Brentford side at home in the Semi-Final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a good player you going to stay with northampton or move on in the near future, personally i love reading about northampton! He left at the end of the season after refusing to sign a new deal. He is currently playing for Hamilton. I havent got anything planned for Northampton. It depends what job I get offered. For example, if one of the big clubs in League One approach me like Leeds, Birmingham, Pompey etc then I would probably leave. Otherwise I have no plans too. Going very well in your first season in this league, just a quick question have you updated to the next patch yet on this save? if yeah, from which game? I patched up late last night.

SRL88 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 SRL88's Career - December 2016 - Northampton Town FC League One A pretty solid month, but thank God for our home form because we were absolutely shocking in our three away games during the month. Yeovil comfortably beat us, but we put in a solid performance against Carlisle to claim a 3-1 win. An excellent performance against Doncaster which was helped along by two own-goals, but three goals in 10 minutes resulted in a 5-0 thumping. We followed this up with a late goal against Exeter to give us all three points before another poor away showing against Leyton Orient. Just ONE DAY later we faced Kidderminster and my tired side clawed out a 2-0 win. Another shocking performance, this time at Colchester followed as we were comprhensively beaten 3-0. We have a very tough run of form coming up with Leeds (A), Hartlepool (A), Millwall (H) and Bury (H) so we really need to get something out of these four games.

forameuss Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Beckford is certainly driving you onwards. At this rate, you'll get at least a good mid-table position - hopefully a push for the play-offs is on. Interesting to see the Scottish Leagues - Dundee Utd winning the league twice before Celtic wrestled control back. Looks like United are overpowered. Again.

SRL88 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 SRL88's Career - January 2017 - Northampton Town FC League One A very, very tough month for us. We faced some massive teams for this level of football and their class showed. The month kicked off in fine fashion as we grabbed a massive win for the club away to Leeds. Despite falling behind in the game, a penalty changed things which Beckford dispatched against his old club. We scored two goals in the final 10 minutes to seal the win. What followed though was hard to take. We were poor at a very good Hartlepool side who dispatched us easily and then we put in a solid performance against Millwall, but they were to strong for us as we lost 2-1. The month rounded off with defeat at Rotherham. We were 2-0 down before pulling a goal back and just when we looked like scoring, we conceded and it was a similar story when we added a second to make it 3-2. Johnstone's Paint Trophy South Semi-Final & Final 1st Leg We're on course for another trip to Wembley with two fantastic performances. We kicked the New Year off with a solid win at home to Brentford to set up a tie against Ipswich who we destroyed at home. We were simply brilliant and tore their defence to pieces. As long as we arent complacent, we must be headed back to Wembley. Transfers - In Giles Barnes - Loan - A very good loan signing for the club. We needed a right winger as we were relying on one man so it is good to have options now. David Goodwillie - Loan - Another superb signing for the club. He is truely fantastic and will take the heat off Beckford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 SRL88's Career - February 2017 - Northampton Town FC League One A mixed month for us as we begin to slip away from the play-off's. The month started well as we came from a goal down to grab a 2-1 win with David Goodwillie scoring the winner. We followed this up with a battling draw away to Wycombe. We were 2-0 down when Jermaine Beckford stepped off the bench to bring us back into the game with a fine solo effort and with minutes remaining, dispatched a penalty to grab us a point. The month rounded off at home to Birmingham. We took the lead in the game, but Birmingham hit back straight away. They took the lead before half time and despite putting them under a lot of pressure, we just couldnt break them down. Johnstone's Paint Trophy South Final 2nd Leg Well we got the job done thanks to an early goal. That seemed to flatten Ipswich as they rarely threatened and we comfortably saw the game out to book a trip to Wembley for the second season in a row. The Final will see us face Crewe.
