Cobblers Reaction from Hereford

Northampton Town manager Ian Sampson gave his reaction to this evening's 1-1 draw with Hereford.

"We looked at a new system yesterday to try and change a few things around but we looked more comfortable at 4-4-2," Sampson told the Northampton OS.

"We had a great start to the second half. It was a good corner from Kevin Thornton and Andy Holt got on the end of it but again it was disappointing that we couldn't see it through.

"Kevin Thornton got us playing in the second half and he moved the ball well. I thought we had more of an edge about us in the second half and our tempo was better.

"These draws are getting bit of a grind now, and we are disappointed because we thought we could have won the game. Michael Jacobs hit the post and Billy McKay should have been awarded a penalty when he was fouled in the second half.

"That's too many times now we have not won after taking the lead but we will continue to work hard at it to improve.

"We look very dangerous from set plays at the moment. Our delivery is very good and that has been a profitable area for us in the last few games."
