Brighton and Hove Albion (H) Preview...



Next up for the Cobblers is a huge home game with Brighton, who sit just one place above us in the table.

The general view is that whoever comes out of the game on top will just about book their place in League One for next season with only six games to play after this.

Back in October, we suffered extortionate ticket prices, an open air stand, a view that needed binoculars and a game that was more shocking than all the rest put together! James Quinn's late strike gave us a point from what was probably the worst game of the season in a 1-1 draw at the Withdean Stadium.

But now it's all about survival and making the gap between ourselves and the bottom four even greater than the eight points as it stands. Stuart Gray will be looking to keep a similar team together as the one that started last week at Swansea while the visitors will be hoping for an improvement on last weekend's 0-0 draw with Huddersfield Town.

As a Brighton fan, let me apologise for the visit to Withdean. Believe me, it's as depressing for us as it is for the visitors. Blame Bill Archer and David Bellotti for that.

Anyway, nice blog, but hope we're the ones smiling Saturday night.
