Dario Can't Believe it.

Dario told the Crewe Official site: "The players are disapponted in the dressing room becuse we failed to convert our possession into goals. I thought they were on top for the first 25 minutes, but then we began to take control of the game.

"We scored a good goal and it came out of the blue a little bit but Dean should have made it two. He won't get many better chances than that this season and he has to learn to be more ruthless in front of goal.

"If Dean had scored at that time, I think we would have won the game.

"In the second-half, we huffed and puffed without really creatinng anything and I was disappointed because our forwards ran offside too often.

"There goal came from a bit of a melee and that is always a chance of that happening, although generally I thought we defended pretty well.
Kevin Broadhurst told NTFC.co.uk: "It was a tough game, but we always new it would be tough," said the Cobblers boss.

"I think they are one of the best teams in the league as I've said all along. I think that they will be up there. I know the fans want us to chase the game sometimes but if you do that them, with the ability they've got they'll murder you. I was delighted with our discipline. We kept going and we created chances, I thought that we had a good shout on a penalty. The lads kept going and we got our rewards, Marco made a nuisance of himself in the box and he got one from six yards.
