Sampson plays down top-three talk

The Cobblers moved into the play-off positions with a 2-0 win over Darlington on Saturday and have lost just twice in 17 games to move to within six points of third-placed Bury.But Sampson said: "I'm not thinking about that at all. I don't ever want to get ahead of myself."People were talking about the play-offs probably six or seven games ago when we were nowhere near."Let's just worry about consolidating in a play-off position. Maybe we can get further up the table but we're not looking at automatic promotion."I think those places may just be beyond us. Notts County have got quite a few games in hand and our aim is to just stay where we are and keep winning games."
