QUOTES
: (pictured) "Last season (at Northampton) it was two teams really going for it. It was a good draw in the end after a cracking game, but I think it will be slightly different this season. They have had three draws so far and they will be looking for a home win, but we’ve not picked up any points yet so we want to get something as well.”Simon Bassey
: “Wimbledon haven’t had a great start but you can’t underestimate them. It’s early in the season and the league table won’t really start to take shape until 6, 7 or 8 games."Rob Page
: “They’ve earned that record last season (Northampton) by going on a run and going on and winning the league by quite a fair margin. They’ve come into this season and knuckled down and stayed unbeaten, but it’s been a tough start for them. I know our form isn’t great, but we still believe with confidence we can go there on Saturday and get the three points.”Barry Fuller
