And so to the final home game of the season and probably the first game that we’ve been involved with in years where nothing is at stake except for league placing! Huddersfield have had a tough season and below their high expectations but will still be a big test for the Cobblers who will go, temporarily at least, into the top half of the League One table should we get at least a point from tonight’s game.
Ian Taylor will draw the curtain down on his 15-year career and looks likely to replace David Hunt in midfield to make his final bow. Meanwhile, Jason Crowe and Andy Holt are both struggling to be fit so Danny May could once again play a part, with Pedj Bojic also in contention.
In what could be very good news for us, Huddersfield may be without Andy Booth who has a habit of putting one or two past us in previous meetings! Also missing for the Terriers are Danny Schofield, Aaron Hardy and Matthew Young while Gary Taylor-Fletcher also a doubt, meaning Luke Beckett and John McAliskey will provide the fire power up front.
The last time Huddersfield Town visited Sixfields it was in bizarre circumstances. Earlier in the season, the Cobblers were a goal up in the first half and cruising against their automatic promotion rivals before high winds tore down advertising hoardings, endangering supporters and causing the game to be abandoned. The Terriers won the return fixture and went on to finish in the League Two top three while the Cobblers lost out in the playoffs!
