The Cobblers' injury list of late has been nothing short of horrific with physio Stuart Barker working overtime. The likes of Adebayo Akinfenwa, Chris Doig, Luke Guttridge, Liam Davis, Colin Larkin, Ryan Gilligan and Mark Little (now returned to Wolves) all suffering. Before the Leeds cup tie, we were down to thirteen recognised first team players and we now stretch to the ful quantity of five loan signings.
At the start of the season, Stuart Gray was adamant that his young, and small, squad would cope with the hectic fixture list and that is certainly being tested now. With Karl Hawley going back to Preston after this weekend, we may have an opening for yet another loanee though and surely there's only one option.
In need of a big striker with Bayo out, in need of some medical help, is it time to bring back the iconic doctor Kenny Deuchar? True, the big man would probably take some persuading to cross the seas from his current home in Salt Lake City where he competes in MLS but it would certainly kill two birds with one stone...the player crisis would be supplemented by the medical support he could provide in the dressing room!
So come on Stuart, give the good doctor a call!
