Stalemate at Sixfields
Northampton are still looking for their first win - and their first goals - of the new campaign after being held to a 0-0 draw by Accrington at Sixfields.
The Cobblers had the majority of the possession in a dull affair against an Accrington side boosted by their midweek Carling Cup success at Championship outfit Doncaster.
Accrington proved a tough nut to crack and looked to be happy with a point as they thwarted Northampton in the final third. Northampton had the better of the chances in the 90 minutes while keeper Oscar Jansson was untroubled by the visitors at the other end.
In a first half of few chances Billy McKay came closest at breaking the deadlock but his lob was well dealt with by Accrington keeper Ian Dunbavin. McKay should have given Northampton the advantage five minutes after the restart when he broke clear but, with just Dunbavin to beat, he shot straight at the keeper.
And it was McKay again who came closest to ending the stalemate in the 75th minute when he was picked out by Kevin Thornton but from a good position once again shot straight at Dunbavin.
