Northampton Manager Justin Edinburgh: “The next game is the most important one, Charlton are in and around us and a win will take us above them. Our destiny is still in our own hands and that is the key for me. There is no doubt in my mind and we still need to win the same amount of games, there are just less of them.”
Charlton winger Ricky Holmes: “This was one of the first fixtures that I looked for. I’ve obviously got fond memories from last season and the season before when I was on loan there. I hardly ever lost a game there and everything just seemed to fall into place. Winning promotion in professional football is something that not many people get to experience. I’m looking forward to going back.”
