A Rotherham side buoyed by the return of Ronnie Moore visits Sixfields tonight as the Cobblers search for a first win in six league games. Five defeats on the trot along with the sacking of Stuart Gray has dramatically given our season the worst start imaginable. Ian Sampson remains in charge this evening and we somehow need to scrape a win out by hook or by crook!
Team News
Liam Davis is the only player missing for Sampson but Luke Boden has returned to Sheffield Wednesday as his loan spell came to an end. Adebayo Akinfenwa limped off after half an hour at Shrewsbury last weekend but could yet make the squad.
Rotherham are unbeaten in seven league games and sit pretty in third place in League Two. Ronnie Moore has no new injury concerns ahead of the trip with a full bill of health following last weekend’s 3-0 win over Barnet at the Don Valley Stadium.
