Northampton drop down the table after Saturday's League One results

Cobblers have dropped a couple of places in the League One table after five fixtures took place on Saturday.

Northampton started the day 13th in the standings but did not play and now find themselves 15th after Wycombe, who drew 0-0 at Port Vale, and Burton, 1-0 winners over Blackpool, leapt above them. But, in an incredibly congested table, just two points separate Mansfield in ninth and Leyton Orient in 16th.

Orient came from behind to beat Exeter 2-1, scoring twice late on, Lincoln won 2-1 over out-of-form Doncaster to go level on points with Stockport at the top, while Luton drew 0-0 at home to Rotherham.

Cobblers were due to visit Barnsley this weekend but it was one of seven fixtures called off due to international call-ups. A new date for the rearranged game is yet to be confirmed.
