Match preview: Northampton Town v Exeter City

The Grecians visit Northampton Town this weekend still on the lookout for the first win of the 2014/15 campaign.

Exeter’s two away days so far this campaign – at Plymouth Argyle and Burton Albion within four days – both ended in defeat.

Northampton meanwhile have collected four points from their first two games at Sixfields – Kaid Mohamed’s goal gave the Cobblers an opening-day win against Mansfield, and a late Emile Sinclair header saved a point against recently-relegated Shrewsbury a week ago.  Lawson D’Ath, formerly on loan at St James Park, scored two in a 3-2 win at Molineux as his new side knocked Wolves out of the League Cup.

So City have work on to get three points at Northampton.  Last year, City won in Northampton, as John O’Flynn scored a stoppage-time header after Scot Bennett had levelled Jacob Blyth’s strike – and it’ll be another battle to get three points for only the second time since the Cobblers moved to Sixfields.
