Northampton Town manager Ian Sampson has taken a swipe at former boss Stuart Gray as the side struggle to find fluency following his transfer policy last season.

The Cobblers' rebuilding programme continues to take shape under Sampson as he opts for permanent transfers as opposed to the more favourable loan option Gray opted for last term.

Speaking to Northampton Chronicle & Echo, he said: "It's a slow process at the moment, but we're trying to build and get new players in.

"I could go into the loan market but I don't want to go down that road because I think we've suffered in the past from having too many loan players.

"We had 19 last year and that was not helpful.

"If I sign a loan player they've got to come in to play, not just be here to beef the squad up."
