COCA COLA LEAGUE ONE
And so its finally arrived. The start of the new season is upon us as Cheltenham Town visit Sixfields tomorrow afternoon. The Robins narrowly escaped relegation last season but will be a stiff test for Stuart Gray’s side.
Team News
Gray will be without new signing Abdul Osman who serves a one game suspension, carried over from his time at Gretna. But Liam Davis, Leon Constantine and Luke Guttridge debuts. Giles Coke is struggling to be fit with an ankle injury but Adebayo Akinfenwa should make the squad after playing in a behind closed doors friendly this week.
Shane Duff should play after recovering from a thigh strain but midfielder Scott Brown remains a doubt. Michael Townsend should return for the Robins after being on the sidelines through a lengthy illness.
