Gray: Confidence and momentum

Last updated : 03 June 2009 By Dave Foster

Northampton are one of the favourites for promotion and Gray wants to see his side get on a roll and fulfil the ambition of an immediate bounceback to League 1.

Gray has added expoerience to his squad with the arrivals of Steve Guinan and Craig Hinton and there could be more to come.

"I can probably point to one or two games last season where we were maybe a little bit of a soft touch and next season we can't be a soft touch anywhere, we will have to roll our sleeves up, battle and stand up and be counted, Gray said"

"The bookies have us as one of the favourites and it is amazing what can be done if you can get a bit of confidence and momentum going. We need to get a bit of confidence and we definitely need to put more points on in threes than we did this season."

"We want to get straight back up to League One and that is the ambition that I am trying to sell to the players that I am trying to bring into this football club. Steve Guinan and Craig Hinton have decided they share our ambition and were keen to come on board and hopefully more will follow."
