COBBLERS HIT AT THE DEATH AS CRICHLOW BAGS WINNER

Brady: Focus is now on Rovers

- NORTHAMPTON boss Jon Brady says his side will quickly get over the disappointment of losing to Bradford and go to Tranmere on the final day of the season focused on securing promotion.

The Cobblers would have confirmed their return to League One with victory at Sixfields and they were in the ascendency when Max Dyche equalised in the second half after Andy Cook’s 30th goal of the season.

Bantams goalkeeper Harry Lewis produced fine saves from Kieron Bowie and Sam Sherring, before Sam Hoskins hit the crossbar, but it was Romoney Crichlow-Noble who snatched victory for Bradford in stoppage-time.

“I think everyone felt we were the team who would get the winner in that second half,” said Brady.

“We played really well and the boys showed a lot of energy and a lot of desire to go and get that second goal and we really made their goalkeeper work.

“Let’s have it right, he kept them in the game. We really pushed and pushed, but it wasn’t to be and unfortunately, we conceded right at the end.”

It’s now a three-way fight between Northampton, Stockport and Bradford for the final promotion place going into the last week of the season.

“It’s still in our hands,” added
