Northampton Town manager Stuart Gray was infuriated by his side's weak display in the 3-0 loss to Swansea City, the Cobblers' fifth successive league defeat.

The dreadful run has seen Gray's side slip from play-off contenders to 19th in the League One table, and the Town boss did not emerge from the dressing room until 40 minutes after the match after blasting his under-performing players.

Gray fumed: "With the exception of Mark Bunn, none of my players come out of this game with any credit.

"I'm not enjoying my job at the moment and I've told the players not to abuse the privilege of being a professional footballer.

"I said to my staff afterwards, could any of my players get in that Swansea team, and, after a performance like that, not one of them could.

"People can keep saying it's a young squad, but they've got to learn quickly. If they don't do that I'll get boys out of the youth team to take their place."
