Cobblers v Minstermen

[EricSabin]

On paper this should be a home win, but I think it may just be a bit tougher than some people think. Heading for another home end sellout in our 3 sided ground so we'll never know how many we could be getting for the run in if we had 4 sides.

Expect us to win, think we've lost 2 in 21 and have the best home record in the league, but I don't think it'll be easy. A scrappy 1-0.

Routine 3-0 win for us, Derek Riordan to get pissed and tear down the east stand.

I reckon this could end up a draw you know. We're due one!

0-0 or 3-3.

 

[Richard Cranium]

You had better win, I've got your lot in a game of killer we play. Prize pot just rolled over and it's £1600 this time!

Well, no-one expects us to get anything out of this. I'm not optimistic myself, but given that we're steadily improving I reckon a draw might be possible. We'll not keep a clean sheet though.

A word to some of our lads who are cycling to Sixfields from York in aid of the British Heart Foundation - an excellent effort.

Yeah have been following the progress on Twitter, have some cash ready to deposit in one of their buckets on Saturday. Top gesture and effort.

This morning Holmes and Wilder won player and manager of the month so hopefully there's not a curse!

Pretty sure Wilder got manager of the month a few months back and hasnt seemed to effect us. Really happy for Holmes though, he has been ridiculously good since he returned to fitness.

Will this be the glorious return of Emile Sinclair?! His finishing was truly atrocious when he was with us and will forever be remembered as ducking out of a header that would of been a nailed on goal. But still found him amusing in a I would of hated him if we went down way.

 

[wilsontown]

Nope - he's been injured for ages and has just been sent out on a month's loan to Guiseley in the National League. He's been more or less completely useless for us, though he didn't start off too badly. I'd guess that he won't put on a York shirt again, and as far as I'm concerned he can bugger off and take his pink boots with him.

 

[LordJord]

A little concerned by the weather today, not because theres a chance the game will be called off, but it will be windy as hell at sixfields, wont make for the best game.

 

[EricSabin]

2-0, got off a slightly edgy start with the wind in our faces but soon settled and took a comfortable win.
