Cobblers boss Aidy Boothroyd reflected on Saturday's narrow defeat at in-form Torquay.

"We are bottom of the table because we can't keep a clean sheet, it's as simple as that," he said.

"I was very disappointed with the goal we conceded and it's so galling and irritating that one second of indiscipline has cost us.

"It's those fine margins that win and lose you games and we were punished for one bit of indecision.

"We are too soft at the moment but I will change that.

"I'm annoyed because we had done so well up to a point, we stood up to Torquay who are a very good side and our game plan had worked.

"We didn't reach the heights of our first half performance in the second half although in saying that we probably had the best chance of the game when their goalkeeper made a great save from Berahino.

"The addition of Luke Guttridge made a difference to us and when I found out he was available we moved quickly. He wants to be here and he will certainly be a part of what we are trying to build. He had a tight hamstring today so that is why he came off, we didn't want to risk losing him for a long period.

"There will be more players coming in and we will hopefully add to the squad before the deadline on Tuesday.

"We are all in it together, I'm not one to shirk responsibility and I will make sure that the players don't either.

"We've got some good players at the club, I certainly believe that there has been an improvement in terms of our effort and energy but we need to keep clean sheets.

"We need to do more and we will do more. Myself along with the Chairman and everyone else at the club are going to ensure that Northampton are a League Two club next season."
