FA Cup Next As Cobblers Go Joint-Top

Last updated : 29 November 2015 By County Ground

The Cobblers results of the past few weeks may have come in adversity, as players and staff responded superbly to the club's off-field problems and their salary payments not being made, but there was no let-up in the focus of Chris Wilder's team at the weekend after the Kelvin Thomas takeover was formally completed.

Match Report

An eight-match unbeaten run was never in much doubt against a spirited Yeovil side and attention now turns to the FA Cup and next weekend's home tie against Northwich Victoria.

Complacency will be the main obstacle to be overcome against the lowest-ranked side still remaining in the competition and, while a cup run is sometimes seen as a distraction to a side going well in the league, the prospect of an early financial boost to the new Sixfields regime comes in the shape of the FA prize money and a potentially money-spinning Third Round draw.
