After 45 games, it all comes down to this. The very last game of the League Two season sees the Cobblers travel to Tranmere Rovers, knowing a win will mean promotion to League One.

Joining Danny to preview the game is Matt from the A Trip To The Moon podcast.

Together they talk about the ups and downs of Tranmere and where they find themselves now, at the end of the 2022/23 season.

This episode was recorded on Wednesday evening, before Tranmere announced Ian Dawes as their permanent manager.

Bradford City may have spoiled the day on Saturday but all it’s really done is delay the party by a week.

That’s what we, as Cobblers fans, must believe and if we play like we did in the second half again, we’ll be more than good enough to win next Monday.

Charles, Danny and Chessie discuss the 2-1 home defeat to Bradford, the End of Season Awards and why Saturday was special for us as a podcast team.

Gosh, what an end to the season this is turning out to be!

Our Northampton Town survived an early scare to run out 3-1 winners over a Harrogate side who may well feel a little hard done by. But the only thing we care about is being just two points away from returning to League One.

Charles, Danny and Chessie discuss the game and its permutations for the end of season run in.

There’s just three games left to play in the regular season and for Northampton Town all of them are cup finals.

First up is a home game with Harrogate Town and we’ve got the brilliant Neil Hirst joining us to preview it.

Before that though, Danny and Charles look back on the tremendous win over Sutton United in midweek.

Our beloved Northampton Town earned a valuable point away at promotion rivals Carlisle United in what was a real team effort.

The 500+ fans were tremendous, singing throughout, acting like a real 12th man.

Northampton Town travel to Carlisle United this Saturday for the first of five cup finals that will determine whether the Cobblers will be playing in League One next season.

Since we beat them 2-1 at Sixfields in December, Carlisle have been on a good run. They’ve lost just four other games and are well placed in 4th in the League Two table. Level on points with Stockport and Stevenage who sit 3rd and 5th.

With the Cobblers three points ahead of Carlisle, the game is setup to be a real six-pointer.

Next up for The Cobblers in League two is a potentially tricky home tie against Gillingham.

The Gills have turned things around since we last faced them before Christmas. A new ownership regime allowed Neil Harris to splash the cash in January, to bring in several new players and since then they’ve been one of the division’s form sides.

To preview the Easter Monday clash at Sixfields, Charles speaks to the brilliant Matt from Gills In The Blood TV.

Hoskins Makes History As Cobblers Go 2nd

Sam Hoskins made history as he became the first Cobblers player to score 20 league goals as the Cobblers won comfortably at Doncaster.

Both Hoskins and Mitch Pinnock were gifted goals by Donny goalkeeper Jonathan Mitchell and the Cobblers secured a 2-0 win.

Thanks to losses for both Stevenage and Carlisle, that result puts the Cobblers 2nd in the League Two table and Danny has fired up the Title Train. Are you on board?

We’re talking about both the game and it...

Northampton Town travel up to Yorkshire this weekend, where they will take on Doncaster Rovers in League Two.

After relegation from League One last season, Donny fans were expecting to challenge at the top end of the table this term, but things haven’t worked out the way they wanted.

Danny and Charles chat with Daniel about Doncaster’s recent poor form, why things didn’t work out for Gary McSheffrey and whether Danny Schofield’s style of play wi...

Northampton Town are on the road again this week as they travel north to take on Hartlepool United in League Two.

Before we get to that though, we’re reeling about the decision to reject the Cobblers appeal for Aaron McGowan’s red card to be rescinded. So much so, in fact that we’re never going to appeal anything ever again.

There was some good news this week though, in the form of two 0-0 draw for both Stockport and Bradford. Those results mean the Cobblers remain in 4th place and are now level on gam...

Northampton Town achieved justice by beating Crawley Town on Saturday and there is plenty for the team to discuss on this week’s show.

It's story time with Charles as he describes how Roles went for a roll to make McGowan see red.

Just how good was that Sowersby shellacking?

Northampton Town welcome the Red Devils of Crawley Town to Sixfields this weekend.

The League Two tie is sure to be an interesting one as The Cobblers look to get their second win of the week against a Crawley side who are yet to win away from home all season.

Bodes well, doesn’t it?

On The Preview Show this week, Danny and Charles discuss the midweek draw away at Harrogate, asking whether it really was a bad result or is a draw on your travels always welcome?

Stephen Dimmock joins us...

The Cobblers got back on track at the weekend with a 1-0 away win at Colchester United thanks to a Louis Appéré strike.

Could this be the result we needed to turn things around? Many of your Three Word Reviews seem to think it could be. We read them out and discuss just what it was that helped Northampton Town stop the slump and get back to winning ways.

After last weekend's postponement, the Cobblers will be hoping that the extra week on the training ground will help them to bounce back after two defeats in a row.

Barrow's game last weekend was also postponed. A complaint was even made about that to PGMOL but nothing has come of it.

The Cobblers welcome Mansfield Town to Sixfields on Saturday for the next League Two fixture of the 2022/23 season.

It's only been a few weeks since Northampton Town last faced the Stags. The two sides played out a 1-1 draw at Field Mill on Boxing Day.

Since then, both sides have had mixed fortunes.

Mansfield have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 2 and the Cobblers have won 1 and lost 3.

While the Cobblers have brought in goalkeeper, Tom King, Nigel Clough has had a far busier transfer window.

Ollie Hawkins and George Lapslie...

We're looking back at Northampton Town's 2-0 defeat away at Stockport this week.

Charles, Danny, Neil and Chessie discuss why the Cobblers were unable to get back to winning ways. Was it a superb performance from Stockport's 'keeper or a poor display from Town's attackers?

After 5 wins in our last 15 games, we also discuss our chances of catching Leyton Orient and Stevenage above us and, looking downwards, should we be worried and hit the panic button?

Stockport were among the front runners for promotion with the bookies at the start of the season but failed to live up to their expectations at first.

Now though, Northampton face...

Charles, Danny and Chessie discuss the defeat to Salford City in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

The team discuss all the excuses - dodgy pitch, terrible referee - and ask whether those are really to blame for a lacklustre first half and poor defeat.

Plus we dip into the postbag to answer what Northampton Town need to do in the transfer window and what magic beans has Danny Hylton been taking for his hair to re-grow like that?!
