Cobblers away scorefred sponsored by Step Two

[lancer]

I’ve wondered for a while now, if in fact being at home second leg is really an advantage, take tonight’s game at Forest, the crowd are extremely nervous and it’s reflecting on the Forest players the 2nd half.
Much the same as our game Saturday.
I think if Stags can keep a clean sheet 1st half, keep their fans quite and edgy , we will nick a win,

Much narrower pitch at Sixfields suits their throw ins methodology.More run up room too. Deal with that and endeavour to minimise concession of free kicks and corners and all will be well.

Are you sure? Football Ground Guide has it at 116x 72 yards compared with 115x 70 at Field Mill.

It still amazes me that there is not a definitive size of a pitch.

Who is the match referee? Hopefully not the same as the first leg. He got so many things wrong in the second half in my opinion. Think the players we need to stay calm and keep our concentration but I’m sure Clough and the coaching staff will drill this into them. The longer it goes without the Cobblers scoring the more their own fans will become unsettled and hopefully this will be passed onto the Cobblers team. Keep the Faith. COYS

Bobby Madley, reffed last game of season against FGR

Thanks Bobby. Thought Madley was very good Refereeing the FGR match.

It's not Bobby Madley. It's Ben Toner.

Madley injured. Replaced by Toner.

Toner had a good game in our 4-0 win over Port Vale last season I thought, but not so good in the 2-1 win at Oldham this season.

There is give or take a few yards... Some clubs however exploit the fact they don't really get checked.

For years Port Vale had an incredibly wide pitch an they would practice corners to get used to it

[AJStag]

Seems the dimensions vary from site to site ! C.certainly the one I looked at had the width in the 60's. Maybe metres contra yards ?

[AJStag]

Vale still have a big pitch I believe. Doubt they'd be phased by Wembley's so called wide open spaces.......if they get there that is !

[halifaxstag]

Port Vale 114 x 77 yards. Wembley 115 x 75. Man City have the biggest pitch in Premier League at 116 x 77.
For perspective that means that Vale Park’s is bigger in area than Wembley.
Wembley’s pitch has extra area compared with Field Mill equivalent to 90% of a standard penalty area.

Toner had a good game in our 4-0 win over Port Vale last season I thought, but not so good in the 2-1 win at Oldham this season.

He also did the cup match v Lincoln last season which you said he had a decent game.

And if anyone wants to make money tonight bet365 clearly thinks Hawkins is still a striker.. have him at 8/1 to be booked anytime!!

I’m having a bit of that

[arsene wengers coat]

Are the nerves kicking in for anyone yet ?

Yep can’t concentrate at work

My office vantage point today has me staring at the Wembley Arch!

I had him at the weekend to be booked - he did one of his lunges around 87 minutes in which he gave a free kick away and it was a nailed on card.

At least 2 Oates shots on target, Hawkins to be booked and a McLoughlin shot on target is 75/1

I’m having a bit of that

can you also bet on him not being booked given the disparity of odds between bookies ?

Nartey is 3/1 to be booked.

Nah there’s nowhere to back player not to be booked for guaranteed money unfortunately.

Best off begging, borrowing and stealing all you can get, and chucking the lot on Hawkins booking at 8/1. No bank in the world offers your 800% on your money in 90 minutes!

Spellcheck . Its crocked.

Admit is, which maniac just lumped on Hawkins with bet365.. he’s just been slashed into 11/5 from 8/1

The change of ref could be a good omen.

Here's a list of all the games he has reffed for us. https://www.football-lineups.com/refere ... =mansfield

How we fare with him in the middle:
Reffed 13 - W 7 - D 3 - L 3 ----- 15 yellows (against us) out of 31. (in league it's 10 games, 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. dished us 9 yellows out of 24.

Here is northampton https://www.football-lineups.com/refere ... =northmptn

Reffed 9 - W 1(!!!) - D 2 - L 6 ------ 12 yellows out of 22. Only reffed them in the league.

Penalty wise- he's given them 1 out of three hes given in games he has reffed featuring Northampton.

However in games featuring the stags he has given us 4 penalties and the opposition 2.
