A trip to Shrewsbury is next for Ian Sampson and the boys with a win now more desperately needed than ever. It’s our first ever trip to the Prostar Stadium/New Meadow and we’ll be looking to give Sammo his first victory in caretaker charge against a Shrews side full of confidence following back to back victories over Crewe Alexandra and Lincoln City.
Team News
The Cobblers could hand John Johnson a start after the Boro defender signed on loan this week whilst Courtney Herbert may get a place on the bench following his arrival from Long Buckby. Chris McCready is still suspended so Craig Hinton and Dean Beckwith should keep their places at the back.
Shrewsbury boss Paul Simpson is without Craig Disley after he was stretchered off whilst playing for the reserves in midweek. Further casualties Omer Riza, Chris Neal, Glyn Garner, Mike Jackson and Terry Dunfield are also missing.
Last Meeting...Cobblers 1-0 Shrewsbury (League Two,17/12/05)
Scott McGleish scored the only goal of the game in the last meeting of the two sides in our promotion season of 2005/06 at Sixfields. Earlier in the season we has recorded a 1-1 draw at Gay Meadow but McGleish’s goal was enough in the return game.
