Notts County Preview

Nationwide League Division Two

Notts County v Northampton

Tue 29 Jan 7.45pm

Northampton last met Notts County way back in August under the reign of Kevin Wilson and unfortunately for the ex Walsall striker it was a game that contributed to his early departure. The game finished 2-0 to the pies and Cobblers third straight defeat of the season. Just 7 games later Kevin Wilson left the club and his former assistant Kevan Broadhurst was taken on as caretaker manager.

Ghanian Cobblers Striker - Derek Asamoah

A new face to the Cobblers lineup Derek Asamoah was given his first full start in the previous encounter but failed to make any impression in a lack lustre side. Since then he has failed to make the starting lineup but showed he is a great asset to have on the bench after a wonder strike stole all 3 points late on v Brentford.

2002 has saw a dramatic change in fortune for Town as they have taken 7 points from a possible 9 and look as if they have hit a bit of form. A win for either club would be vital for an early climb out of the relegation zone with failure adding more pressure to either sides hopes of avoiding a drop into the 3rd division next season.
