The Cobblers trail 3-1.ShareLeague One: Barnsley lead Plymouth 2-1 but are down to 10 men following the dismissal of defender Jack Shepherd for – I think – dissent, or possibly in a case of mistaken identity after a handball by one of his teammates. More news as I get it but Shepherd has walked …ShareTransfer news: Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney has rejected an approach from Ipswich Town despite the two clubs agreeing a £20m fee for his transfer.ShareLeague One: Connor Hall pulls a goal back for newly promoted, 10-man Port Vale, who now trail Rotherham by the odd goal in three at the New York Stadium.ShareLeague One: Brought in from Birmingham City after helping their promotion push last season, Alfie May repays some of his transfer fee by scoring his first goal for Huddersfield Town from the spot to put his new side 2-0 ahead against Leyton Orient.ShareLeague Two: In good news for my firend and colleague the Guardian Football Weekly podcast presenter Max Rushden, Louis Appere has put Cambridge United a goal ahead against Cheltenham Town at the Abbey Stadium.ShareLeague One: Playing in goal for Blackpool, Bailey Peacock-Farrell gifts possession to Stevenage with a dismal clearance and seconds later has to pick the ball out of the net after Dan Kemp had slotted home to put the visitors 3-1 up at Bloomfield Road.ShareLeague One: Charlie Webster scores his second eye-catching goal of the afternoon to notch up the first double of his career and give Burton Albion a 2-0 lead against Mansfield Town at the Pirelli Stadium.
