After a double dose of League One action this weekend, the Cobblers’ position has been left in greater danger with Brighton joining us on level points and those above us gathering points to mean that Stuart Gray’s side are now three points adrift with two games in hand.
Yesterday saw Brighton gain a valuable 1-0 win at Colchester to join the Cobblers on 32 points. Below them, Cheltenham also picked up a win but they still look doomed to the drop. Hereford fell to the foot of the table after a 2-1 defeat at Tranmere Rovers and they are just a game away from relegation.
Above the line, Carlisle are the team to chase now as they were beaten at Huddersfield while Crewe picked up a vital point at home to Oldham. Leyton Orient are surely out of danger now after an excellent Easter period including a victory at Swindon yesterday. Hartlepool are, however, still deep in trouble following a 3-2 home defeat by Scunthorpe.
With most others picking up points this weekend it’s vital that the Cobblers come home with something from Orient on Saturday to set up the first game in hand in a week’s time. The worrying form of Brighton means we’ll have to be looking over our shoulder as well if we don’t want to be dropping another place down the table.
