Dismal Northampton hit rock bottom

The Cobblers were beaten 4-1 by Plymouth Argyle on Saturday afternoon The Football League's bottom club, who have only just emerged from the depths of a financial crisis and who were knocked out of the FA Cup by Stourbridge in midweek, blitzed a woeful Northampton side with four goals in the first-half. Caretaker boss Tim Flowers, like David Lee last week, could only stand and watch as the Cobblers plumbed new depths following their 7-2 hammering by Shrewsbury. Bayo Akinfenwa's stoppage time goal proving little more than a consolation. Only four points now separate Plymouth and Northampton and the priority must be for a new, permanent manager to be installed at Sixfields as soon as possible and begin the process of drastically revamping the current squad the minute the transfer window opens in January.
