Northampton Town set a new club record of 10 straight league defeats with a narrow loss to Barnsley at Sixfields Stadium on April 28, 2026. The defeat leaves Northampton at the bottom of the League One table, struggling to find form.
Northampton have not won in their last 15 games across all competitions. They have lost their last 9 games, and their overall performance has raised concerns about relegation. Barnsley, on the other hand, currently sits in 15th place in League One and has not lost to Northampton in their past five encounters.
Key facts:
- Reyes Cleary scored the only goal in the match against Northampton.
- Colin Calderwood has lost every game since taking charge of Northampton.
- Northampton have not beaten Barnsley in the league since 2003.
The match saw Barnsley looking to improve their own form, having only won one of their last eleven league games. Earlier this season, they were in playoff contention but slipped down to 13th place. Conor Hourihane mentioned that a win over Northampton would be a major boost for his team.
Football predictions indicate continued struggles for Northampton as they prepare for upcoming matches. Their current form raises questions about possible changes in team lineups and strategies moving forward. Kelvin Thomas stated that lessons will be learnt from this difficult period.
