Michael Jacobs knee sliding after a 30 yard cracker v Northampton

The two clubs have met 35 times down the years with the Latics having much the better of things, 18 wins to the Cobblers 5, in fact the last seven meetings have all gone the way of the Latics, with Northampton failing to score in any of those games.  Feb 2001 was the last time we conceded a goal against the Cobblers, a 1:0 defeat away at Sixfields.

 

I remember fondly going to Sixfields on a Friday night in April, back in 2003, a 9^th minute Nathan Ellington goal and an Andy Liddell penalty 2nd half penalty gave us all the points that evening and all but guaranteed promotion to the Championship.

 

The last time we met at the DW Stadium was in September 2017, a Michael Jacobs 30 yard screamer gave us the points, of course Crackers started his career with Northampton, but that didn’t stop him celebrating in typical fashion with his trade mark knee slide.
