Finally we can say that we are just 90 minutes and a point away from ensuring League One football next season. It’s been a hell of a long slog the last couple of months but the loyal Cobblers fans who have witnessed dismal defeats at Bristol, Yeovil, Oldham and the like are finally seeing some fighting spirit just at the right time.
The Scunthorpe draw demonstrated new found battling after the Saturday win at Orient, a stunning turn around in itself given the previous form. It was a different story on Saturday when Hereford threatened to spoil the hard work of the previous week. But we came through and now the Cobblers sit within touching distance of securing safety.
Mk Dons stand in our way tonight and it’s a massive “derby” (still in inverted comas you will notice-it will never be a derby) with Dons looking for a high finish in the playoff positions. Following the last three games we can do this…a point is needed but please Stuart, don’t play for a draw. A point would have done at Yeovil and we know what happened there.
If we do claim that point tonight it’s a cause for relief but also a cause to look forward to what could be an exciting league next season with the likes of Southampton, Charlton and Norwich coming down and old favourites Brentford, Wycombe and Exeter possibly coming the other way. Brentford are assured but I’m rooting for Wycombe and Exeter if only to avoid a trip to Bury!
So here we go then, can we get that vital point to survive tonight? If not, we’re back in trouble with Elland Road looming…
