The Cobblers overcame the Cherries in the vital clash at Sixfields this afternoon. Jordan Robertson gave us the lead with a "Thierry Henry style" volley (according to the commentary team) before Bournemouth's change of tactics at half time had an immediate impact as Marc Wilson fired them level.
The visitors seemed to be getting right back into the game and threatened an equiliser before Kenny Deuchar headed home Andy Holt's left wing cross to give the Cobblers the lead once again. Andy Kirk scored from close range late on to make it 3-1 and three precious points for Northampton Town.
We now stand seven points clear of the bottom four with games fast running out. Next weekend we travel to fourth-bottom Bradford City and what could have been a nervy encounter now turns into a less pressured one for us at least. Hopefully we're starting to move in the right direction and seven points at this stage of the season is a massive gap to have. Of course it is the Cobblers and anything can go wrong but at the moment we're keeping our heads just above water and a couple more wins will see another season of League One football at Sixfields next season.
