Goal difference the key in tough run in

Goal difference is becoming more and more important for the Cobblers after we slipped out of the playoff places on Monday afternoon. Town's positive +12, higher than three of the four teams currently in the playoffs and only one short of Aldershot, means that even a draw in Saturday's daunting home game with Notts County could well be worthwhile.

That would mean that a defeat for any one of the four teams above us combined with even a draw for the Cobblers would lift us into the top seven again. Of course, a win would be much nicer so we have to pray for an absolute top notch performance from us and a real off day for County!

Stranger things have happened of course...
