Youth is most certainly the buzz word at Sixfields this week and Alex Dyer was the latest young gun to fire the Cobblers in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Bradford City. After Courtney Herbert had introduced himself onto the League Two stage on Tuesday night, it was the turn of Dyer to repay the faith installed in him by Ian Sampson to lift his team back from the brink of defeat.
Dyer was introduced with around twenty minutes to play and with the Cobblers two goals down and looking down and out against the Bantams. But the player who had been blooded by Sammo in the youth and reserve teams in years gone by injected energy and flair into proceedings to hit the first goal of the comeback.
The Cobblers, of course, recovered fully to claim the point and Dyer should now earn a starting place in Tuesday night’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy Second Round tie with Bournemouth. With the early season full of doom and gloom, we’re starting to finally find some good news with the young Cobblers players stepping up to the plate and giving the long suffering claret faithful something to sing about.
