VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Northampton Town manager Aidy Boothroyd told BBC Radio Northampton:
"We hit the crossbar twice and created more than enough chances despite not playing very well.
"I thought we looked very jaded; we didn't start very well.
"They brought a few new players in which freshened them up. Maybe I should have freshened us up a bit, but when you have got a team that is winning and doing well you stick with it.
"I don't have any complaints today we didn't really deserve to win."
