Been down to the training ground this morning and briefly walked passed the first team train. Page and Reeves were training on their own with coaches whilst the rest of the first team were taking part in a small sided game.
That's not to say Reeves won't be in the squad, as I know he is doing a lot of pre season type work, but I did find it a little strange he wasn't taking part with the whole group considering they would've been working on patterns of play and shape.
Hanlan was also doing running drills on the side by the U23 training, so hopefully he is back soon.
Not sure how I feel about tomorrow, but hoping for a win.
3-1
KR said Reeves will be sub tomorrow and start on Tuesday
Luke Coddington: Huddersfield Town goalkeeper joins Northampton Town
so many young keepers have changed clubs this close season .. probably most for experience/game time .. clubs used to keep their keepers for season after season .. no longer though

I know he did, but what I found odd was that he was not part of the first team group, when players such as Jackson, Aribo and Crofts (who is suspended) all were part of it but Reeves was training and stretching on his own and with Page.
As I said, I am not saying he is not going to be on the bench, but I would have thought a day before we play, he would have been part of what Robinson was doing with the group, instead he wasn't.
Oh ffs! They will at least score now, allowed to play it out from our corner, walking pedestrian like through a sleeping midfield whilst scuffing it in off of a post and the goalies arse.
Not a team we did well against last season and our squad already looks light weight. We moan about strikers but our manager only plays one way with only one striker. These tactics alone make me despair. 1-1 and probably an undeserved point at that.
At home, if you encourge your full backs to play as wing backs and you play Fosu and Holmes a bit more narrow, but with flexibility - it can be quite an attacking formation. Of course we need enough people in the team who can get their fair share of goals - A few players have to step up and show they can.
What you don't need is for opponents to stifle you by getting numbers back - the solution is to get as many players up for attacks and running into teh box as possible.
If we have any aspirations of promotion this is a must win game. Northampton finished last season in poor form and have lost three from three (league & cup) this season.

It's Charlton after all.
