The midweek win at Hereford keeps the Shrimps firmly in the hunt for a play-off place. They currently lie three points behind Northampton, albeit in 11th place. That victory improved Morecambe's away record to read four wins, seven draws and seven defeats from eightteen games. Three goals in fourteen minutes for the Cobblers settled an exciting reverse fixture between the two sides in late October, Bayo Akinfenwa putting the seal on a 4-2 win for the visitors. After spending weeks playing down a possible push for the play-offs, Town boss Ian Sampson has this week calmed talk of automatic promotion at Sixfields. "I'm not one of those people to get ahead of myself," he told BBC Radio Northampton. "Those places may be beyond us, because Notts County have games in hand."
