Hereford on Saturday will bring a new threat to the Cobblers' survival hopes. An epic draw against Scunny on Tuesday means that we're out of the bottom four on goal difference. But any kind of result for Crewe on Friday night at Stockport or for Carlisle on Saturday at Cheltenham would heap the pressure back on Stuart Gray's side.
In theory, after a more than comfortable victory earlier in the season at Edgar Street, we should get three points. But we all know Northampton Town don't make things that easy. I can't see it being a heavy win, more a nervy, twitchy affair against a side with nothing more to lose. They've lost their League One status, are about to lose their manager and will be able to play with relaxation and freedom.
With so much at stake, we must stay positive and pray that our promising work going forward is matched by a stronger defence than has been in place in recent weeks. If we can stick to the basics I'm positive we'll come away with a win. But after that heart stopping game on Tuesday night who knows what will come of the latest crunch game at Sixfields.
