Saturday's trip to South London to face AFC Wimbledon represents another chance for Northampton to register a first point (or even first goal) away from home this season and they travel with Cardoza's words, hopefully, ringing in their ears.
Speaking to BBC Radio Northampton, he said of Town's current league position: "It's not good enough, simple as that. We've got well-paid professionals with a lot of experience."
Manager Aidy Boothroyd has been backed again in the transfer market recently with the signings of Mathias Doumbe and Paul Reid and Cardoza added: "There's no pressure. He's going to get the time to turn it around and I'm 100% behind him."
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Fans Stadium, Kingsmeadow was less than a year ago, in February 2013, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.
Cobblers Mad will have more from the game on Saturday evening.
