Northampton face a trip to Leyton Orient at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cobblers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 17 and win only 5 of the 32 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division Three match.
