Forest Green Rovers return to League action tomorrow, as they make the trip to Northampton Town.

Late drama dominated the games between the two sides last season, the home side finding an added-time winner on each occasion.

What we said:

“Northampton are on a great run. They had a hiccup at Exeter in a close game, but before that they were on fantastic form,” said Mark Cooper

“We know it’s going to be a tough game. We know we need to stand up to them and defend well. They’re organised, effective and they press high up the pitch.”

“Northampton’s a nice place. It’s a decent stadium and the pitch will be flat and firm which is what we like. We’re looking forward to it.”

What they said:

“I Know Mark Cooper and how Forest Green want to play, we know that every team in this division has their strengths and we will have a game plan to nullify that while striving to get into the opposition half and penalty area as much as we can,” said boss Keith Curle.

“Mark’s had a few years now cementing his philosophy and that’s what you get with longevity. I’ve got a lot of time for him and ultimately he wants to get success as all coaches do.”

Team news

Things up looking up for Rovers, with Elliott Frear, Jack Aitchison and Joseph Mills all back to fitness.

About: Northampton

Key Player: Andy Williams

Striker Williams, who played under Mark Cooper at Swindon Town, has been leading the line for the Cobblers this season.

With six goals and an assist to his name so far, it’s no secret that the 33-year-old is a danger in front of goal.

Having previously played for Hereford United, Bristol Rovers, Yeovil Town, Swindon Town and Doncaster Rovers, Williams has over 120 career goals.

Last time we met:

Forest Green Rovers earned their first victory of 2019 as an added time strike from Theo Archibald sealed all three points against Northampton Town.

George Williams opened the scoring after just two minutes, but a second-half header from Sam Foley looked to have earned Northampton a point on the road.

Substitute Archibald had other ideas though, as he fired a powerful strike past the Cobblers' stopper after 94 minutes.

Head-to-head:

The two sides first met in 2010/11, as Northampton Town ran out 3-0 winners in the FA Cup.

Things were a little different last season, when injury time winners in both games secured the points for the hosts, so perhaps late drama could be on the cards once more.
