With another new signing on board and the first friendly due to take place tomorrow evening, we're getting ready for the tour to Germany as the season is now just a month away!
Last week's signing of Leon Constantine was a bit of a surprise and the fact that we got him on a free transfer was a bonus. A couple of years ago he was scoring goals for fun in an average Port Vale side so with the right sort of service he could well be a top signing.
Constantine's friendhip with Adebayo Akinfenwa should work wonders and you can see them as the first choice strike pairing.
Last season we started against Swindon on the opening day with this side:
Bunn, Crowe, Hughes, Doig, Jackman, Henderson, Brad Johnson, Gilligan, Holt, Larkin, Kirk
This season's first fixture could see something like this for the starting eleven:
Bunn, Crowe, Hughes, Gyepes, Doig, Davis, Osman, Jackman, Coke, Akinfenwa, Constantine
The latter is a much improved side on paper and I for one can't wait for the big kick off against Cheltenham Town in just a few weeks time.
Tomorrow will see our first friendly take place at Brackley Town. These early pre-season games are never great on the eye but it will be a good run out for most of the squad. The first few games are all about fitness and nothing should be taken from the result. Unless we win 10-0.
It's the time of year where nothing is going on football wise and the agony of the four week wait begins. Euro 2008 did a lot to keep us in the mood but now is the time for people to start making predictions, buying the new kits and preparing their away day weekends.
The count down is well and trul under way!
Up The Cobblers!
