TOP SIX STILL IN SIGHT FOR COBBLERS BOSS
Stuart Gray said that the Cobblers are still targeting a play off place ahead of the tough trip to Cheltenham Town. The Robins home form is as good as some of the promotion chasing teams and they have taken ten points from their last four games.

"It's going to be difficult but while it's still mathematically possible we have got to keep that belief that we can get into the top six," said Gray.
"We are at the business end of the season where it is all now about results but our performances over Easter were a bit disappointing.
"We didn't play particularly well against Forest and I've gone on record as saying that although I can't blame the referee for our own performance we can probably blame him for the penalty decision and the defeat.
"We then went upto Carlisle and I think the game was there for us to win but we were maybe just lacking that little bit of belief to kick on and get a result.
"I was disappointed with the two goals we conceded and at this moment in time the form of one or two of the players has just dropped a little bit and that has probably cost us.
"This time last season we were talking about staying in this division and I think it is amazing and it just shows how far we've come that we are even talking about the play-offs and the players have to take a lot of credit for that.
"I've said to the players that the game at Cheltenham will probably be one of the hardest games of the season but we need to have that belief that we can go there and get a win.
"Cheltenham are on a good run, I think they've picked up 10 points from their last 4 games and it is always a very difficult place to go to.
"Mark Little and Liam Dolman ended up playing together at the back on Monday and they are both quite quiet boys so that does worry me a little bit. You can have all the skills in the world but when you are out there on the football pitch one of the most important things is communication.
"They need to learn that side of the game, I've worked with some great captains and even when they've not been having the best of games themselves they've been able to inspire the team vocally."
