Northampton Town manager Stuart Gray is desperate for his side to show more fight as they seek to avoid relegation to League Two.

The Cobblers dropped into the bottom four following a 1-0 midweek loss at Yeovil Town and Gray is preparing for a tense final few weeks of the campaign.

He told the Northampton Chronicle: "I need eleven soldiers in the team from now on.

"We've got to get the balance right. I've got artists and soldiers in the squad and maybe at this moment in time I need to be putting eleven soldiers out there.

"We have to now stand up and be counted. We've got to get in other teams' faces more and be more committed when we go in for 50-50 balls.

"I've got every confidence in the players here that they do have that fight in them."
