Duo to miss rest of the season

The Cobblers' end of season battle to avoid the drop has been given a double blow this afternoon as it was revealed that both Giles Coke and Paul Rodgers will not feature again for the rest of the season.

Coke has suffered bleeding in his calf since injuring it a couple of weeks ago and with just over a week to go until the final game of the season at Leeds there seems no hope that he will make it into the run in as his side battle against the drop.

Rodgers, on loan for the rest of the season, will join Coke on the sidelines after a scan today revealed that he has damaged his cartilage. The defender has featured in the last couple of weeks at the back but is also now set to sit out of the final three games.

Stuart Gray takes his side into the Hereford game above the drop zone with one game in hand but the Bulls being already relegated could pose a threat with the pressure off.
