It was a dream home debut that helped earn Ian Sampson his first win in temporary charge of the Cobblers. The emergence of 20-year-old Courtney Herbert after signing from Long Buckby sparked us into life at Sixfields and may yet be the key moment in Sammo’s fledging post playing Cobblers career.
Herbert came off the bench in tough circumstances at Shrewsbury with the side already beaten and the game all but over. But Herbert’s pace and unpredictability earned him a wildcard start in Tuesday’s game with Rotherham to dramatic effect, with a well taken goal off the underside of the cross bar and his celebrations reflected the emotions of a week in which Herbert went from the Unibond league to local hero in a matter of days.
An rib injury called a halt to Herbert’s night on Tuesday but scans have revealed that nothing is broken so the youngster could be back in contention to play some part against Bradford tomorrow afternoon...could he put Sammo even further into favour with the Cardozas come decision time on the new boss?
