The midfielder struck in each half as Cobblers edged out their Conference North opponents, who got back on level terms through Sean Clancy.[LNB]Guttridge's winner completely deceived goalkeeper Danny Hurst as his long-range free-kick booked Northampton's place in the second round.[LNB]"The result is the most important thing. Seven non-League clubs have gone through to the second round and I'm just delighted we're through as well," said Sampson. "We knew Fleetwood were a decent side so we drilled it into the players before the game about having the right professional attitude.[LNB]"I thought we'd just edged it and we had several good chances after taking the lead but Luke (Guttridge) has scored two great goals.[LNB]"We knew the balls used for the FA Cup games were lighter than normal ones in training and I think that was one of the reasons why his free-kick moved so much in the air. We can be a match for anyone here so I'll just be hoping for a home draw in the next round."[LNB][LNB]
