No Easter joy for Town

Last updated : 29 March 2005 By Matthew Gamble
The 0-0 home draw against basement side Cambridge was all Gary Peters' men had to show for their two games.

Town could not muster a goal in either game, despite Peters shuffling his pack in search of a break-through in the trip to Northampton, which Town lost 2-0.

It is worrying news for Town fans who have seen their team fail to win since the 5-0 demolition of Chester. Town have only scored once in the last five games - a worrying statistic for a team in Town's position.

Indeed, if it weren't for the poor form of Town's fellow strugglers, the club could be in more trouble. Of the bottom seven, only Chester managed a win on Easter Monday. Notts County, one place above Salop, play Yeovil tonight.

All of this means that town are six points off the relegation zone, but with a far superior goal difference.

Town entertain Oxford on Saturday, and fans will be hoping that Peters manages to turn out a side capable of scoring in, and winning, the game.
