VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Northampton Town manager Gary Johnson told BBC Radio Northampton:
"Somebody said you can win ugly but I don't send them out to win ugly.
"It was great to win that first game for our home fans and the three points were massive for us.
"It wasn't a classic performance. It wasn't a Barcelona performance but it was a solid one."
