Northampton Town made it back-to-back goalless draws as they played out a 0-0 draw with Cambridge United at Sixfields.

A wet and windy afternoon produced no breakthrough for either the Cobblers or the U’s, with the result meaning a second goalless draw in a row for Northampton after they had drawn 0-0 with Blackpool last time out.

A fourth straight game without a win in League One means Jon Brady’s side now sit 16th in the table.

It took some time for the sides to create tangible opportunities, but one would fall for Cambridge when Brandon Njoku saw a strike repelled by Lee Burge.

Sam Hoskins would curl a strike just off target, before Cambridge saw Elias Kachunga miss the target when well placed.

In a similarly low-quality second half, Shayne Lavery missed a fine chance for Cambridge when he fired off target from 12 yards.

Perhaps the chance of the day came for Cambridge, with Burge keeping out Lavery before Nesta Guinness-Walker kept out a rebound from Kachunga.

Substitutes Tom Eaves and Martyn Waghorn missed chances to win it for Northampton late on, but there was no way through for either side.

The Cobblers will next be in action on Tuesday night, when they travel to Wigan Athletic to face the side currently sat directly below them in the third tier table.
