Bradford City visit Sixfields tomorrow with the Cobblers looking for back to back wins to boost Sammo’s chances of getting the top job full time. The 3-1 win over Rotherham on Tuesday night saw relief all round but another big test is just around the corner as the Bantams come to town.
Team News
Adebayo Akinfenwa and Dean Beckwith are both doubts for the Cobblers with Liam Davis the only long term absentee. Bayo is struggling with a knee injury that’s limited him to small appearances in the last couple of games. Beckwith, meanwhile, has a groin problem and Ian Sampson will wait until the final minutes before a decision on him is made.
Bradford come into the game on the back of a goalless draw at Morecambe on Tuesday night but are without the suspended Gareth Evans so Michael Boulding should come in to replace him.
Last Meeting…Bradford City 1-2 Northampton Town (17/03/07)
With both sides struggling at the foot of League One in the last meeting between the two sides, Billy Paynter handed City the lead just after the hour mark. But two minutes later, Bradley Johnson fired the Cobblers level before Kenny Deuchar hit an 87th minute winner to steer us further away from the bottom four.
