The Northampton Town Herald
Match16 Sep 2026
The small margins put Northampton Town out
Out, 0‑1 to Lincoln City, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.
Player ratings21 Sep 2026
Both of them Armando Shashoua's — 8.11
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.11, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Nobody could get near Taylor Richards
Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Sam Hoskins in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Northampton Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match19 Sep 2026
Northampton Town see off Blackpool
Three points for Northampton Town, 2‑1 the final word against Blackpool in a contest settled by the finer margins.
Player ratings21 Sep 2026
Ninety minutes of Adam Phillips at his very best
Marked 8.20. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Northampton Town.
Squad21 Sep 2026
No hiding place for Jon Guthrie
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jon Guthrie, and the manager let it.
Squad21 Sep 2026
Armando Shashoua finally opens his account
He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Northampton Town have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Tyrese Fornah asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
In brief
- Market The shop window has Max Howells in it
- Player ratings Seen enough of Jack Perkins
- The terraces The stand has a song for Adam Phillips
