The Cobblers will play Millwall in the F.A. Cup Third Round if we can see off Walsall in the Second Round replay next week. Andy Kirk’s goal on Saturday earned us a place in yesterday’s draw and should we make progress in the replay at The Bescott Stadium we will host Millwall twice in a week.
In a bizarre twist of the fixture list once again, for the second time in as many months The Cobblers face the possibility of hosting the same fixture twice in a week. Last week, we played Walsall at home in the league and were then drawn at home to the Saddlers in the F.A. Cup and we now know that should we come through next week we will play Millwall in the league on New Year’s Day before hosting them in the cup just a few days later!
Another point is that victory against Walsall in the replay will mean that the much anticipated trip to Leeds on January 5th will have to be rearranged for later in the season.
