Lacked any quality whatsoever, two sides afraid to make mistakes. They'll be happy because it was away from home; I'm fairly happy because they were top of the form table last fifteen.
Not particularly exciting at EP, a couple of our most reliable bunch (Bate and Hills) having bad days.
Fair play to Charlton for a great turnout, especially this time of day.
Our's were, I think, the sixth most expensive in the whole of the Football League, and they won't be getting cheaper any time soon, especially with impending redevelopment work.
Are they really that much bigger?
Crowds seem rather similar when at the same levels

Hills wins a header, their lad comes in late, hits Hills then goes down, ref somehow interprets it as a free kick for Northampton, spends two minutes pissing about before it can even be taken. I hate having a go at refs but this bloke is beyond pathetic.
Well that was a vastly different second half, the three half-time subs made a monumental difference. Camps and Moxon added some desperately-needed bite to a midfield that had been easily bypassed, and Andrésson is a pure poacher that isn't looking out of his depth despite the gulf between this...
Jack Stretton, released by us in January, joins Burton
I always thought there was a neat little striker there but had a horrendous time with injuries. Hope he does well there
