Northampton face a trip to Mansfield Town at Field Mill on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 22 out of 32 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2004, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a League Two match.
