Northampton react to bitter Barrow blow as Bristol Rovers' rivals lodge 'observations' with EFL

Jon Brady insists he has no regrets over Northampton Town's inability to score more at Barrow, which ultimately cost them a place in League One, as they were pipped to the post by Bristol Rovers' incredible 7-0 victory over Scunthorpe United.

Northampton began the day level on points with the Gas but with a five-goal better goal difference - an advantage that was gradually clawed back by Rovers over the course of the afternoon as the Cobblers were unable to add to their three goals at Barrow.

Josh Kay's strike for the hosts at Holker Street, then further reduced their advantage but the Cobblers refused to press on the accelerator and it wasn't until news of Rovers' seventh came through that they went all our for a fourth, with Sam Hoskins denied a hat-trick goal by Paul Farman.
