Marked for Sam Hoskins

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Taylor Richards runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Northampton Town

Sam Hoskins was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Kyle McAdam at Northampton Town

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Kyle McAdam is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Ninety minutes of Armando Shashoua at his very best

Marked 8.03. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Northampton Town.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Conor McCarthy gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match26 Sep 2026

Northampton Town share the spoils with Burton Albion

A 1‑1 draw with Burton Albion leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

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.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

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.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad3 Aug 2026

Sam Hoskins has been here 10 seasons

430 appearances across 10 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Ross Fitzsimons signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ross Fitzsimons and Northampton Town agree another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tom Eaves 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Elliott List falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Ross Fitzsimons's contract

24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market3 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Northampton Town and Elliott Moore

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Northampton Town, another week without a signature from Elliott Moore.
