Keith Curle sent out assistant manager Colin West this week and heres what he had to say,

“I’m really enjoying my time here and the people in and around the club have been first class,” he said.

“Keith and I get on well and we have got similar philosophies in terms of the way we want the team to play. We’ve got a good chemistry and I think we work well together.

“He will always ask my opinion which is good and I’m not someone who is just going to say yes for the sake of it. Keith will always make the final decision but I do have an input which is good and if I didn’t then there would be no point in me being here.

“We’d like to have more wins on the board and we’ve just got to turn those draws into wins.

“The club has got potential and that’s the reason why we wanted to come here. It’s a good football club and it shouldn’t really be in League 2. I know the club was relegated last season and we want to try and get back to League 1 as quickly as possible.

“It’s a building process, we’ve got some good players here and they just need to believe in themselves a bit more.”

We look back on a very good point at Lincoln City, including the goals and that red card tackle. We delve into Neil’s postbag and get your memories of the worst challenges by or against Cobblers players and look ahead to Crawley coming to the PTS Academy Stadium in League 2.

As a special gift, Neil provides his impression of what a lift going up the lift tower sounds like. Come for the football, stay for Neil’s late night sillyness!



This week The club released the average attendance so far this season and they said that 'Attendances for the first 16 home league games of the 2018/19 season at the PTS Academy Stadium are up on the same period the last time the Cobblers played in League 2 - the 2015/16 title winning season'
