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

[Gloria]

Burns, Watson and Page for Reid, Skipp and Mavs please.

[kingpowerout]

Hopefully Martin very quickly works out that playing Braybrooke and Skipp as a central midfield pairing offers us ZERO physicality. 
 

in a league that will be low in quality and high in physical demands we desperately need some power in the centre of the park.

 

our lack of strength all over the park has been glaringly obvious for a few seasons now

Mavididi is shocking. 

[Sly]

Mav needs dragging 

[The Doctor]

Have we managed a shot besides Okoli being possessed by the spirit of Joey Gudjonsson?

[SafewayFox]

Okoli shooting from range is starting to wind me up.

 

That’s twice now in a couple of minutes.

Spends 95% of his time pulling his shorts up 

[jayfox26]

Even playing against a league 2 side, Mavididi still doesn't look any good. 

[moore_94]

Watson coming on

[les-tah]

genuinely think Mavididis ceiling is league 2 or lower. Enzo was a genius to get a tune out of him.

****ing one footed **** **** off 

[The Doctor]

my god get Mavididi off.

[FoxesWalk]

It’s not just his ability and mentality to try, Mav’s decision making is probably the worst of his attributes at the moment, just awful 

[Vacamion]

 

If you remove Okoli's efforts, have we had zero shots?   

[TheGoldenGod]

Okoli is the antithesis of MartinBall that hes bagged from a set piece and now refusing to knock it about 100 times but blasting shots from range

[Cincinnati Fox]

Radio Northampton not happy with the ref ! Bottling it 

[H.a.r.r.y]

nah mavididi is making me seethe

The other ten look possessed by the spirit of Smirnoff 

[kingfox]

We won’t be having fun this szn with Mavididi in the team

[Tommy Fresh]

Mavididi probably gets away from his man if he tries to go on his left, rather than looking to open up on his right

Yep to the nearest job centre

[Hales]

Hook mav fgs 😤😤😤

[Clever Fox]

Okoli playing as El Maestro.

[DJ Barry Hammond]

Cullen dropping in, turning on his left foot and feeding the channel looks to be a feature of his game - I reckon we might get some joy from that given time.

Yup.

 

Suppressed Winks & Faes levels of despising for me.
