‘It’s well documented in terms of everyone’s physical problems in terms of injuries and not being available but we still have to find a way of being effective and that’s my job title in a nutshell.
Northampton and Bristol Rovers could be missing as many as 19 players between them when they go head to head at Sixfields this weekend.
Whilst Cobblers currently have 10 players sidelined, Rovers are also suffering from something of an injury crisis. There are doubts over seven players with another two suspended.
Midfielders Sam Finley, Luke McCormick, Grant Ward, Brandon Aguilera and long-term absentee Jordan Rossiter remain injured while Antony Evans and Kamil Conteh are suspended. Defenders Connor Taylor and George Friend are also still sidelined.
“He’s done an individual session two days ago with Chelsea and a bit of a team group session and then has been back in our building today but we still can’t put him on that pitch for any substantial amount of time.”
Taylor stated the following about what he anticipates from Northampton: “A good team, especially at home. It will be exactly the same as what we would anticipate from Burton, Fleetwood, or Stevenage. They will be standing right in front of us. They also have some quality on that pitch. the promotion’s spirit and the team in the league surrounding us. All to be played, though.
“I believe they are dealing with personal injury issues. They were lodging in the same hotel as us prior to the game on I had a quick chat with their manager on Tuesday. Everyone’s physical issues, including injuries and lack of availability, are widely recognised; nonetheless, my job title is to find a method to be effective in spite of this. Determine how to maximise the effectiveness of this team.
