Wigan Athletic v Cobblers LIVE

Key Events

  • First away trip of new League One season for Town
  • Brady expected to go back to the team that started against Stevenage
  • Wigan aim to back up impressive opening day win at Derby

Tough on the Cobblers, who played well for long spells, but this is the reality of League One. You’re palying against quality players who can score goals like McManaman’s winner. Game spun on that 30-second period. Town miss a chance to make it 2-1 to them and moments later they go 2-1 down.

Plenty of positives for Cobblers despite successive defeats but they need to start putting points on the board.

Jon Brady has just spoken to the press. Generally pleased with his side’s performance but admits they need to be better in key moments. We’ll have more from him shortly...
