Sammo's Second Chance

Sammo gets his second bite of the cherry tomorrow afternoon as the Cobblers take on Rochdale at Sixfields. It’s make or break time for the Town legend in his bid to take the job that he seems to want and the job that David Cardoza looks likely to give him should results turn in the next couple of weeks.

Notts County brushed us aside last weekend and reports were that we were completely inept in trying to deal with the money bags of League Two. Whilst that result wasn’t overlooked, it certainly won’t get as much focus as tomorrow’s game with the boys from Spotland. Sammo has now had a week with his players to get over that result and a positive one tomorrow could still keep him in line for the top job.

Now is the time for us all to get behind him...we all want the Cobblers to be back in the top knockings of the league, none of us want to be where we are. It’s time to channel the spirit of ’97 when Sammo was at the heart of the defence to take us to Wembley. The hard times are back and this is when we’re needed the most.

Whoever stands in that dugout needs our full support and we desperately need three points tomorrow against a Rochdale side struggling on the road so far this season. There is a great number who aren’t bothered about going, who have become so disillusioned at things that you don’t want to return until it’s sorted. But having been through adversity with this club many a time before, believe me, it makes it a hell of a lot better when the good times do come around knowing that you were there behind the team from the start.

So if you’re reading this umming and arring about going to the game and circumstances mean that you can make it if you wanted to, get down to Sixfields, support the team, support Sammo and help to bring this great club back to where we belong!
