Crawley Town will travel to Northampton Town this weekend with a chance to climb out of the League Two relegation zone. The Reds are without an away point all season however, they haven’t lost away to the Cobblers since 2016. Meanwhile, Lindsey has already won away at the Sixfields Stadium earlier this campaign whilst managing Swindon Town.
“You hang on to anything and everything don’t you? To energise yourself and the team,” said Lindsey on his side’s good fortunes ahead of this weekend. “I’ll certainly be using my past experiences.

Crawley tried their luck at home to Northampton in August last year ran out 3-2 loses. Back then, Liverpool loanee James Balagizi’s brace wasn’t enough to deny the same effort from Sam Hoskins and a 92nd minute winner from Kieron Bowie.
Hoskins has since gone on to score 12 more goals for Northampton and firmly established himself in League Two’s golden boot race.
“They’ve got a number of good players not just Hoskins,” said Lindsey, replying to the praise of Hoskins. “They’ve got (Mitch) Pinnock, (Louis George) Appere up front who’s a real handful and good players all over the pitch.
