Northampton have proved to be bit of a bogey side for Wimbledon and it's playing out that way again at the moment.

The Dons have only won two of their 18 EFL games against the Cobblers (D8 L8).

I would like to see Bristol Rovers keep two men up when defending corners, as it gives an extra chance of a break away attack for Rovers with Crewe down to 10 men.

If Bristol leave two men up Crewe will have to leave three as well - less threat in the box.

Northampton are looking lively and searching for a third. Tom Eaves flashes a cross in from the left but it misses everyone.

Cameron McGeehan then has a pop from about 25 yards out but slices his effort high and wide of the target.

This is just the start to the second half the Cobblers wanted, they are taking the game to Wimbledon now.

He may be a changed man physically, as we heard earlier he's lost well over eight stones this year, but good to see Steve Evans has not changed completely.

Here he is in, er, conversation with the fourth official at Crewe...

In comes Terry Taylor's free-kick for Northampton but it's cleared. The Cobblers recycle and Ethan Wheatley's shot is deflected behind for a corner. Nathan Bishop is then out of his goal well to punch away for Wimbledon.

Home side well on top in these first few minutes of the second half.

Perfect start to the second half for Barrow who have equalised against Cheltenham to make it 1-1. Ben Whitfield with the goal at Holker Street.

An early attack for Northampton as Tom Eaves gets in down the left and tries to pick out Kamarai Swyer, but sees his cross blocked.

Moments later, Nesta Guinness-Walker is hacked down from behind by Nathan Asiimwe and the Wimbledon wing-back goes into the book.

Northampton boss Kevin Nolan has made a second change of the night at the break.

Kamarai Swyer has replaced Dean Campbell, who provided the assist for Conor McCarthy's opener.

Away we go again for the second half at Sixfields.

Northampton looking for a second win in five. Wimbledon looking for a first win in seven.

Any heroes among the ranks?

We're also under way at Barrow in League Two with the games at Crewe and Cambridge to follow shortly.

Northampton came into this game as favourites, and they haven't lived up to it so far in the first half.

They have been a bit lacklustre and have had a few silly little slip ups, one of which led to the equaliser from Wimbledon.

However, towards the end of the half it has looked upwards for the Cobblers going into half-time.

This is what's on the agenda in League Two tomorrow:

• Bromley v Grimsby (12:30)
• Notts County v Walsall (12:30)
• Barnet v Salford
• Colchester v Newport
• Fleetwood v Gillingham
• Harrogate v MK Dons
• Oldham v Tranmere
• Shrewsbury v Chesterfield
• Swindon v Crawley

• Emre Tezgel had given Crewe the lead against Bristol Rovers after nine minutes but Rovers found a leveller three minutes later through Callum Morton. The Railwaymen end the half with 10-men as Adrien Thibaut was shown a red card for an off-the-ball incident.
• Cheltenham are a goal to the good at Barrow thanks to Hakeeb Adelakun's neat close-range finish at the far post from Jordan Thomas' cross. That's his first goal for the club.
• James Gibbons' goal on the stroke of half-time has Cambridge ahead against Accrington. The U's can move up to fifth if they win this evening and Crewe do not...

Wimbledon are on their longest run without a league win (six games) since the 2022-23 campaign when they avoided relegation from League Two by five points.

The Dons endured an 11-game and seven-game winless streak that season.

Johnnie Jackson's side still need at least another goal to end that run tonight.

If this is getting you in the mood for the weekend, here's a look at the rest of the upcoming League One fixtures on Saturday:

• Stevenage v Burton (12:30)
• Wigan v Blackpool (12:30)
• Doncaster v Plymouth
• Exeter v Barnsley
• Leyton Orient v Bradford
• Lincoln v Cardiff
• Mansfield v Stockport
• Port Vale v Peterborough
• Rotherham v Huddersfield
• Wycombe v Bolton

All square at the break and reasons for encouragement for both sides.

Conor McCarthy glanced home his first goal for Northampton to put the Cobblers ahead after 10 minutes.

But the lead only lasted six minutes as Marcus Browne levelled for Wimbledon at the second time of asking after Alistair Smith's shot was well saved by Ross Fitzsimons.

It's all to play for in the second 45 at Sixfields.

Northampton are just pushing towards the end of the half. A couple of crosses come in... a couple of crosses cleared by Wimbledon.

It's then floated forwards again to Ethan Wheatley, but he's in an offside position for the Cobblers.

Two minutes added on at the end of a fairly entertaining first half.
