VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Kettering Town manager Mark Stimson told BBC Radio Northampton:
"Overall performance, I can't ask any more. I'm disappointed that we didn't score, that we didn't get a bit of luck in front of the goal.
"You've got to give everything and the boys did that without getting a break.
"I'd have liked to see a couple more threaded passes, to try to split the defence a little bit."
