  • 39' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 44' The 37-year-old Michael Nottingham has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 49' With 0 assists to his name this season, Danny Rose is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Northampton Town FC.
  • 54' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 71' Bernard Ashley-Seal is replacing Danny Rose for the Northampton Town FC side.
  • 76' Seamus Conneely has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
