Brentford visit Sixfields tonight for the second time this season. Back in August, the Bees started this horrible run of home form we're on at the moment as they ran out 1-0 winners at Sixfields. Let's hope the run starts and ends with Brentford as they return for tonight's Johnstone's Paint Trophy (formerly the LDV Vans Trophy) First Round tie.
A change in the competition rules means that this season there will be no extra time. If the game is drawn after 90 minutes it will go straight to penalties!
Team news tonight indicates that Joe Burnell and Andy Holt may make their first starts since returning from injury while James Quinn could start up front. Last season the Cobblers were beaten (as is mandatory in this competition) by Colchester United. A cup run would be nice but the interest in the trophy only really goes up by the later rounds. Still, a first home win is still needed and I'll take any win in any cup, trophy or shield right now.
Up the Town!
