Northampton Town manager Kevin Nolan believes this weekend's Nene derby against Peterborough United offers a perfect opportunity for his team to "get everyone believing again". They have won only once in the last 14 games and back-to-back home losses against Leyton Orient and Vale have increased the pressure on the ex-Notts County boss. "I took over when we were in a precarious position last year when everybody thought we were going to go down. We were favourites to go down this year and we knew were going to have a tough time," Nolan told BBC Radio Northampton. "We know it's going to be a really good atmosphere and hopefully we can turn a derby day game into a victory and get everyone back on side and get everyone believing again."
