NORTHAMPTON host Sheffield tonight (Monday) with the home side still searching for their second win of the season at the Shaleway.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the Tigers enter the meeting outside the play-off places and they return to the venue where they secured a dramatic late victory in their previous appearance.<\/p>\n
The Foxes name a full-strength side whilst the visitors have recruited Ryan Douglas to guest for injured No.1 Jack Holder, and skipper Josh Pickering races at Northampton for the first time.<\/p>\n
Northampton manager Chris Adams said: \u201cWe sit here now at the halfway stage of the season with three points to our name, but looking back at previous meetings this could easily be eleven or twelve.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to stay focused and concentrate on the second half now, which comprises a lot more home matches for ourselves, and I\u2019m confident our tally will grow as we get more regular home fixtures.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pickering said: \u201cWe were so annoyed and very disappointed with coming away from Ipswich on Thursday with nothing \u2013 but that\u2019s gone now.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, Northampton is a must win. I haven\u2019t been there yet so it\u2019s new territory for me \u2013 but I don\u2019t mind that.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the boys had a good result there not so long back and we need something similar again on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n
