From scrappy wins to thumping defeats to convincing victories, there were a number of crucial moments that helped shape Cobblers' path to Wembley glory...
1. August 20, 2019: Swindon Town 0 Northampton Town 1
A trip to the early-season frontrunners seemed an unlikely place for Cobblers to grab their first win of the campaign but Andy Williams' somewhat controversial second-half goal did just that.It was much-needed after a slow start. Photo: Pete Norton
2. August 31, 2019: Northampton Town 3 Plymouth Argyle 1
The first sign that Cobblers were starting to click under Curle. Plymouth came to the PTS in good form but they were blown away by an outstanding team performance. Watson's penalty and a brace from Williamssealed a fine win. Photo: Pete Norton
3. October 12, 2019: Scunthorpe United 3 Northampton Town 0
A dark day in the season but one that ultimately proved a turning point. Cobblers were very poor at Glanford Park and supporters weren't shy in venting their frustrations afterwards, with some even calling for the manager to go. Photo: Pete Norton
4. October 22, 2019: Carlisle United 0 Northampton Town 2
It was during the break at Brunton Park when Curle first switched to three at the back. Proved a masterstroke as Cobblers improved from a dull first-half to win in Cumbria, with Scott Pollock scoring his first ever goal. Photo: Pete Norton
