Squad24 Dec 2029
A one-man rearguard from Ross Fitzsimons
There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.
Match18 Dec 2029
Ken Aboh settles it late for Northampton Town
The 86th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Ken Aboh decided nobody was going anywhere. Harrogate Town had no time left to answer.

Words exchanged at Northampton Town
Harrison Murray-Campbell and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Match22 Dec 2029
Milton Keynes Dons take the points off Northampton Town
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Match18 Dec 2029
Northampton Town find a way past Harrogate Town
Harrogate Town made Northampton Town work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
Squad24 Dec 2029
A row about effort at Northampton Town
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Joe Rye was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Squad24 Dec 2029
A muscle injury and 15 days out for Olly Campbell
The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Northampton Town will quote 15 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.
The dugout24 Dec 2029
No hiding place for Joe Rye
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Joe Rye, and the manager let it.

The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Interim Coach to a room that had heard them before.
In brief
- Player ratings Ken Aboh was the difference for Northampton Town
- The dugout Theo Avery is still being punished for one mistake
- The dugout Sérgio Conceição asks for a word with the manager
