VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Kettering Town manager Mark Stimson told 91热爆 Radio Northampton:
"It's very, very disappointing. We created a few chances and couldn't take them, and I honestly thought we were going to go to a replay.
"In the Cup games, you have to take opportunities and - at least - test the goalkeeper. We're out of this fantastic competition, and I feel for the supporters who came out in their numbers.
"The team's not playing as well as it should."
