Nolan Vows Fight Amidst Fan Boos

Northampton manager Kevin Nolan has vowed to continue fighting despite facing intense fan criticism during a recent 1-0 home loss to bottom-placed Port Vale. The defeat, which saw home supporters jeer several of Nolan's decisions and boo the final whistle, marks another setback for the team.

Jayden Stockley scored the game's only goal just before halftime, leaving Northampton with a dismal record of just one win in their last 14 league matches. This result amplified the anxiety felt at Sixfields, impacting the players' performance in the second half.

Despite the mounting pressure, Nolan remains committed to his squad, emphasizing the need to 'stick together, keep believing' and 'fight their way out of it.' He acknowledged the team's missed opportunities, including chances cleared off the line.

Port Vale, now 10 points from safety, saw manager Jon Brady, a former Northampton boss, express satisfaction with the victory. He highlighted his team's resilience and ability to withstand Northampton's aerial threats, securing crucial points.
