Post-match: Northampton boss Wilder
"There's been a lot of talking over the last few games. That had to stop and we've done our talking on the pitch today.
"We aren't playing with a huge amount of confidence but we had to find a way to win and today we've done that.
"If it has to go to the last game, we'll take it there. We've given ourselves a fighting chance."
