The Cobblers dropped to twentieth in League One this afternoon after the match at Stockport was postponed, meaning that other overtook Stuart Gray’s side.
Peterborough United, The Cobblers’ next opponents kicked off the day’s action with an extraordinary live Sky game against Bristol Rovers. Craig Mackail-Smith grabbed a hat-trick as Posh beat Rovers 5-4 in a thriller at London Road.
In the 3pm kick offs, Leeds hammered Crewe 5-2 at Elland Road with five different goal scorers. Crewe got two in injury time to save some pride but Leeds finally seem to have their season rolling . MK Dons got a comfortable home win over Yeovil, winning 3-0 at Stadium: mk whilst one of the pace-setters, Oldham won again, this time at Tranmere.
Carlisle went second after a 2-1 home win over Southend, pushing Leicester down to third place after the Foxes didn’t play. Scunthorpe continue to improve and they recorded an impressive 4-1 win at Brighton to move into fourth place while Millwall are also on the move as they eased past Hartlepool with Lewis Grabban and Gary Alexander on the score sheet.
Leyton Orient overtook opponents Walsall in the league with a good 2-0 win at the Bescot Stadium and Huddersfield left Cheltenham bottom of the table after a 2-1 win at Whaddon Road.
So going into the big clash with The Posh next weekend, The Cobblers are behind them in the table and all attention now turns to the loan window that opens on Monday as Stuart Gray looks to improve his squad before next Saturday.

Would you be up for writing a preview of the League Cup game for my site salut! sunderland?
Have a look at http://salutsunderland.com and you will see the format in the Who Are They? sub section. In brief:
* written piece, any length or style and preferably finding some way of linking our two clubs
* quick Q&A - I supply 10 or so questions
* potted history of you and yur career as a Northampton fan
Cannot pay, but will link prominently to your site.
Let me know one way or the other - I'd need it by the end of the week preceding the game. colinrandall1@gmail.com
