Jon Brady's team return to League One action on Saturday and he is expecting a tough campaign.
It all starts again for Northampton Town this weekend with a trip to Bristol Rovers as the new Football League season begins.
The Cobblers kept the bottom four at arm’s length in League One last season, finishing 14th and sixteen points clear of the drop zone.Realistically, six of the seven new teams in the division, with the possible exception of Crawley Town, have bigger budgets than the Cobblers and that is despite Northampton’s success last season was built on continuity. Key players stayed. Key loanee’s Kieron Bowie and Marc Leonard returned.The spine of the team has needed replacing and the Cobblers have gone down a more experienced route.Eight new players have arrived so far but more are needed according to Brady."I’d say success again, but if I’m brutally honest, it is maintaining our League One status.
