A point will be better than nothing says Cobblers Manager

Northampton Town manager Ian Sampson has said that this evening's game at Edgar Street is one that the Cobblers need to win after a run of four drawn games but he would settle for a point

"We want the three points, we've had four draws on the trot and we need to start turning these draws into wins," he told the Northampton OS.

"Tuesday night is probably a must win game for us now and with the draws we've had in the last two weeks we are just heaping pressure on ourselves.

"I always set the team out to try and win the game and if we only pick up a point then at least that's better than nothing.

"I thought we played really well at Port Vale until Abdul Osman got sent off but in the last two games we have been poor.

"Hereford's pitch held up quite well last year and the reports that we've had say that it isn't too bad at the moment. I think they missed the torrential rain we had on Saturday so hopefully it will be okay.

"We had a good win there last year but I'd definitely take a scrappy 1-0 win on Tuesday night."

Meanwhile striker Leon McKenzie remains a doubt for the game.

"Leon is a concern and I'd only rate him about 50/50," confirmed Sampson.

"We will see how he is but I think you could see on Saturday the games we had last week have taken it's toll on him.
