I'm actually feeling a bit more glass-half-full about the Cobblers after today, which is refreshing. If they show the same fight and character they did today, I honestly think that team is one creative midfielder and one competent striker away from being a team that comes straight back up. We got our tails up as the game went on and we realised Sunderland were nothing to fear - and you'd hope we'll have the same attitude towards opponents in L2.
Unfortunately a quality playmaking midfielder and prolific striker are usually either the ones that cost the £ or are in massive demand.
