We make short journey to Sixfields, hoping the game goes ahead at second time of asking. Walsall will be looking to close gap on top 6.
Vital Quotes:
Pressley ‘Unfortunately, it has affected us in the manner of winning games and affected a little bit of our confidence,’ he added.
‘We’ve obviously not scored goals at the same rate in the last couple of months. ‘But it’s about us rebuilding that confidence and getting our belief back. ‘Hopefully, Sunday’s draw will be the base to go on and start winning games’
James Chambers ‘”If we can get a win and get on a good run we`ll enjoy a quick turnaround of games,” he said.
“Of course, on the other side of things it sometimes can go against you if you aren`t picking up points but what it does mean is you can bounce back quickly.
“It`s been tough of late but that`s football and things can change from one moment to the next’
