Northampton Match Thread Carabao Cup KO 3pm 08/08/2026

Still far too many willy pullers in the squad. 

[Dan]

The good news is even despite some of the shirt stealers in the side Northampton have been an absolute horror show in 2026 so we should win it.

Credit to the northampton fans 30 minutes till kick off and making quite a bit noise.

Genuinely shocked at some of the reaction on here to the squad - what were people expecting?

I think it’s more a case of disappointment, there are at least 4 players starting whom a lot of people never wanted to see in a Leicester shirt again.

It’s their cup final.

[James and his giant peach]

Think Thomas and Mavididi will be here until they die

[honeybradger]

It's a shame Briggs can't play against us.

 

Would have been interesting to see how he stacks up against the likes of Cullen and BDCR.

What sky sports+ channel is this on?

 

Anyone with an Iptv channel pls pm me ty x

[Pliskin]

Listening to the intro on BBC radio Leicester, “it’s good to be back at the KP” is it?

Meanwhile the likes of Forest are in the market for £50m players

Have to be realistic, we have had 15 pro contact players leave and 4 in.

 

That's a massive turn over, with 5 weeks of the window to go.

[Brizzle Fox]

Kinda nice to finally see Braybrooke and Alves both starting for us together in a competitive fixture.

 

[Dandy king]

It's the start of the season you bunch of miserable ****s. 

 

Let's have it Leicester boys ! 🦊🦊🦊

Swings and roundabouts. 5 years ago we were and they were languishing.

Half the team made up of consistent failures. We won’t progress until we clear them

Can't be done overnight, still 5 weeks of the window to go.

The mistakes weren’t addressed/fixed by the coaches or understood and unwilling to change by the players for the last 2 seasons. Im over thinking they will suddenly come good.

 

It’s the constant playing of these clowns because they are senior that annoys me. We might be stuck with them but doesn’t mean we have to keep handicapping ourselves before the ball is kicked. 
 

I really want the youngsters and new guys to show the donkeys up.
