What They Said
NORTHAMPTON boss Rob Page: "We were disappointed with our performance on Saturday [a 3-1 defeat by Chesterfield] and we know there is room for improvement. We’ve worked hard on the training ground and we want to get back to the levels we were at before the Chesterfield game. Hopefully we will do that on Wednesday night and we are going to go out and give it our best. We’ve earned the right to be here and we are going to approach it positively and do our best to get a result.”
