A poor recent run of form has seen the Shakers slip out of the play-off places and they must now get a positive result against Northampton at Sixfields and hope for other scores to go their way, while the Cobblers themselves still maintain slim hopes of a top seven finish. Player-coach Sodje told BBC Radio Manchester: "We are still positive, that's the good thing about it. Our boys are strong, they've got strong minds and we'll definitely go for it on Saturday. "The manager has done everything for us. He has made it so easy for us. "He takes the pressure off us and it's for us players, we cross that white line and must make sure we go out and do the job."
