Read a lot of good things about Kieron McKenna's Ipswich and you can see why he's had such rave reviews. The movement and patterns of play are so crisp and fluid. Passing around and through Cobblers with ease. Just toying with them #ntfc

Fair play Cobblers. Could have folded after what happened last week & then finding themselves 2-0 down inside 33 minutes. But they were excellent in the second-half and deservedly got one back. Had chances to equalise but they are right in the tie heading back to Sixfields #ntfc
