Doig set to miss Donny clash...

Cobblers captain Chris Doig is set to miss Friday night’s clash with Doncaster Rovers after picking up a groin injury in last nights’ 2-0 reverse at Luton in the Johnstones Paint Trophy.

Doig was replaced by Jason Crowe mid-way through the first half and Stuart Gray confirmed that the defender is struggling to be fit for the visit of Doncaster on Friday. Gray told the club’s official website:

“Chris Doig has tweaked his groin a little bit and he probably won’t be able to play against Doncaster on Friday. I didn’t want Jason Crowe to play for as long as he did but in the end I had no choice.”

Gray will now have to decide on how to deal with the injury with Liam Dolman the obvious replacement with the transfer window now closed and the loan window not open again as yet.
