Mode
of Transport:
Automobiles were used for tonight's trip to Sixfields,
with Tom Witham taking control of the Witham Mobile
in order to transport Upton, Clayton and Potter
from Brighton, and McCarthy making his way from
Cheltenham. |
 |
Team:
Mr Wilkins chose to name a 4-4-2 line up consisting
of: Kuipers, Whing, El-Abd, Elphick, Richards;
Martot, Thomson, Reid, Cox; Elder, Forster. |
 |
Kit:
Northampton appeared in their home kit of claret
jerseys alongside white shorts and white socks.
Brighton were in their home jerseys of blue and
white striped shirts, coupled with away shorts
and socks of all blue. Michel Kuipers wore his
aqua and gold goalkeepers jersey, alongside navy
shorts and socks. |

Dean
Wilkins Attire:
Mr Wilkins went back to basics today, wearing
a training outfit alongside his tracksuit. He
rounded this look off with the return of his white
dancing shoes. |
 |
Weather:
A cold day in Northamptonshire was soon complimented
by that fine rain - the stuff that gets you really
wet. |
 |
Stadium
Rating:
Thee identical stands in height and design make
up the field, along with one larger main stand.
A basic stadium but one that does the job in League
One. 7/10 |
 |
Food
Rating:
Despite the hotdogs consisting of the lubricated
penis variety, they were disappointing. Extra
marks are awarded though for the inventive pizza
style wrap on offer. 6/10 |
 |
Entertainment:
A halftime crossbar challenge involving children
was both entertaining and ingenious - as naturally
none of them could win the price and as such the
club did not have to pay out any money for one.
8/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
We didn't come across many locals personally,
but the few we saw in KFC and around the stadium
seemed of a nice nature. 7/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
: A few rough ones were spotted in KFC, but the
women of Northampton seem to have other activities
to do as opposed to watching football. One can
only hope they include cooking and cleaning. 3/10 |
 |
Steward
Rating:
Quite helpful, except for one
bearded chap who seemed to think he was Hitler,
bossing his fellow stewards around and being a
bit of a prick in general. 6/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
The flag was left in McCarthys car. |
 |
Match
Report:
Another disappointing performance from Brighton
saw them slip down to 14th in League One with
a 1-0 defeat at Northampton. While the officials
performance could be described as cobblers, Brighton
only had themselves to blame for not taking the
few chances they created. Dean Wilkins decision
to start Nathan Elder over new signing Glen Murray
backfired in superb fashion, as his side look
like they could be in danger of getting dragged
into the wrong end of the table. |
 |
Thought
of the Day:
While enjoying a KFC and discussing the notorious
work of Fred West, McCarthy asks around the dinner
table "Can you imagine being raped by a 20
inch garden implement" |
