Interestingly , the Chron are not predicting Hoskins starts .
I wonder if they know something we don’t !

                Cornell
         Pierre.  J Williams.  Turnbull
C MacWilliams                             Cox

              MacWilliams   Foley ( JJOT )

                       Bridge

                Hoskins.   Sordell ( Williams )

Whaler and Roberts given a good run out in their correct positions but not at the same time .
Iacafano given a run out also

Strange that Joe hasn’t gone anywhere on loan or have I missed something ?
Maybe the long awaited chance may come once we are safe

I agree that we need to be solid and more defensively disciplined, but it strikes me as overkill if we were to go with Goode, Pierre and Taylor as cbs with facey and buchs as pretty defensive wingbacks and then Turnbull and McWilliams as sitting midfielders in a home game with Crawley.

I think if does as you describe from the start , he deserves criticism . That’s far too defensive at home against a weak side .
I can’t inderstand why Williams isn’t a first choice alongside Hoskins . Bridge then plays behind them both .
I’m not sure where that leaves the new loan players in midfield because JJOT , McWilliams and Turnbull fill the midfield .
I would then play 4 at the back , dropping Taylor or Goode.
I’m not at all certain Buchs will be fit after last week though , which means Bridge at left back in that case I assume .
Morias should be on the bench in my view and Daniel Powell putting the cones out .

I would want to see a place for Joe - at least on the bench. Coddington probably deserves to be on the bench. Goff has just returned from a long term injury. He will probably get a run out in reserve fixtures before the end of the season.

My Line up would be

                             Cornell,

                  Goode, J Williams, Pierre,

C McWilliams,                                      Cox

               S. McWilliams, Foley, Roberts,

                                  Bridge,

                                  Sordell.


With a bench of Goff, Turnbull, Whaler, Morais, Williams, Facey, Hoskins

When we are safe (sorry to be positive!) I would play the following team at the earliest opportunity. It would help with decisions for next season and Cobblers fans would be more engaged with the younger players featuring.

                              Cornell,

                  Goode, Turnbull, Pierre,

C McWilliams,                                      Cox

         S. McWilliams, J.Williams, Roberts,

                                  Bridge,

                                  Morias.

Discuss!

If we lose this we wont go up..

It's an interesting selection puzzle on Saturday .
Hoskins is the automatic, in theory but will he last a whole game up front on his own ?
I think you have to play a straight two at the top if Williams plays and so that will either be Hoskins or Morias , both of which have been preferred wide .
The shortcomings of the transfer window are showing through now because Sordell, is out , O'Toole's fitness is questionable at best and Bowditch is not considered a striker any more !
