Curle says he will 'police' Cobblers changing room to ensure there is no complacency
The Town boss was delighted to see his team see off previously unbeaten Newport County at the weekend, with the Exiles being swept aside 2-0 at the PTS Academy Stadium.
It was arguably the Cobblers' most complete performance of the campaign to date, and they now have a great chance to follow it up with another win as they travel to Broadhall Way to take on struggling Stevenage.

Their reign started with a 3-2 home loss to Carlisle United on Saturday, a result that saw them slip to the bottom of the table thanks to Scunthorpe United claiming their first win of the season.
Boro have claimed just three points this term, and the match represents a great opportunity for the Cobblers to claim back-to-back wins for the first time since mid-March.
And Curle will make sure his players are in the right frame of mind.

"We want a stronger character, we want a stronger mindset and more determination.
"My job is make sure I police the environment, and make sure the players don't get too carried away with a good performance and a good result on Saturday.
"Sometimes it is pleasing that there is a Tuesday game, because everyone knows it is straight back into work mode and the focus will be on getting the lads moving, and setting out the gameplan for how we can cause Stevenage problems."
