Ian Sampson takes charge of his first game in full charge of the Cobblers this evening as we look to progress in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. There's a Southern Area Quarter Final place up for grabs and interest should increase in the competition should we see off the Cherries at Sixfields.
Team News
Sammo looks likely to be without strikers Adebayo Akinfenwa and Courtney Herbet for the game with Luke Guttridge and Dean Beckwith also struggling. Andy Holt and John Curtis are rated at 50/50 so Seb Harris could play for the first time.
Bournemouth are also struggling with injuries with Sammy Igoe missing with a knee injury and Ryan Garry out of the squad having being diagnosed with swine flu. The Cherries are also without Jeff Goulding and Marvin Bentley.
