Cobblers arrive in Germany

The Cobblers have arrived on their pre-season training camp in Germany where the players will play two friendlies.

Tonight see the first game of the tour take place following the arrival in Dusseldorf over the weekend. The team will face Virhen Sandanski at 6pm before playing a further friendly later on in the week.

Stuart Gray said he was looking for more progression on the tour following the goalless draw with Brackley in our opening friendly last week.

Gray, on arriving in Germany, said,

"The main objective is to peak for the Cheltenham game. In the first game of the tour we need to pass the ball and create more chances then we did against Brackley. I want to get some confidence from this trip, score some goals and get through without any injuries."

"There is no point peaking now but playing games still beats training. Playing gives you a sharpness that training can't and that is why pre-season games are so important."
