Sammo takes charge of his first league game in full charge of the Cobblers tomorrow as we make the tough trip to Bury. After two good fight backs in the space of a week, the new boss will be hoping to record his first league win on the road at Gigg Lane and start to finally move up the League Two ladder.
Team News
Bury are without Andy Bishop who will be out for around two months with a number of problems. Danny Carlton is another long term absentee whilst Andy Morrell is also missing. Richie Baker limped out of the Shakers’ game against Tranmere Rovers on Tuesday night and is doubtful for the Cobblers’ visit.
Ryan Gilligan sits out of the game as he serves a one match ban having picked up a fifth booking of the season in the Bournemouth game on Tuesday night. But Andy Holt, Luke Guttridge, Adebayo Akinfenwa and John Curtis have all trained this week and could play some part in the game.
