Northampton face a trip to Leyton Orient at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cobblers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 18 and win only 7 of the 35 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a League One match.
