Back to the league for Chairboys test

Northampton Town v Wycombe Wanderers
League Two
Saturday, August 28th 2010


All the cup jubilation can be put to the back burner (after the draw of course!) as League Two football returns once again. It gets no easier either with many people’s favourites for promotion, Wycombe, in town tomorrow afternoon.

The Chairboys haven’t conceded a league goal in their three games so far but have also failed to find the net in their last two outings against Stockport County and Oxford United so there should be a real emphasis on both teams to score with the Cobblers having only the one goal to their name in the league.

Wanderers come to Sixfields, with former Posh boss Gary Waddock in tow, have only one long term injury concern in Alan Bennett, who face a three week lay off with a hamstring injury sustained in last weekend’s game with Oxford. Scott Beavon could push for a start after scoring for the reserves this week.

John Johnson could boost Sammo’s ranks by returning from injury but Ryan Gilligan has an ankle problem that could keep him out. Courtney Herbert may come into the thinking after a good showing at Reading on the right hand side of midfield. Chris Dunn, Craig Hinton and Liam Davis will all miss out again.

Plenty of talk this week about the fans getting on the players’ backs with Steve Guinan the main topic of conversation so let’s get right behind the boys tomorrow, no matter who runs out in claret, and make it a perfect week!
