Another home defeat and that makes it just one point from a possible 15 at home this season!
It was good to be back at Sixfields again after a 5 month abscence but it wasn't the homecoming that I wanted!
Andy Kirk should have given us the lead after ten minutes after a poor kick from the Tranmere keeper Gavin Ward presented him with a one on one opportunity, but the shot was straight at Ward. We were made to pay just a few minutes later when Calvin Zola converted Tranmere's first real attack.
From then on we struggled in vain to try and get back into the game but the Cobblers fans were fantastic. I was expecting a quiet atmosphere from what I had heard from previous home games but the Town faithful lifted the noise level and stayed behind the team throughout.
Unfortunately it didn't spur a turn around and Tranmere put the game out of sight either side of half time. First Gareth Taylor headed home ten minutes before the break and then we conceded yet another penalty as Brett Johnson handled and John Mullin converted past Bunn.
Scott McGleish struck with his fifth of the season late on but despite a rally for the final 15 minutes, we fell to another defeat and hang on just above the drop zone in League One.
