100 UP FOR BUNN BUT HUGHES TO MISS LAST THREE GAMES AND DOLMAN A DOUBT FOR OLDHAM
As goalkeeper Mark Bunn prepares to make his 100th appearance for Northampton Town when the Cobblers meet Oldham at Sixfields on Saturday, boss Stuart Gray revealed that Liam Dolman is a doubt and that Mark Hughes will miss the final three games of the season.
We're evens with bet365 to grab all three points, but if you don't fancy our chances, there's a host of other betting opportunities on offer, including First Goalscorer. You can nab a decent price just by putting your team knowledge to good use. Because bet365 are committed to offering first goalscorer betting on every League club's game, they can sometimes get caught out by shrewd customers all too aware of a certain player's run of goalscoring form. This weekend, Andy Holt is 22/1 to score first, but if you think Adebayo Akinfenwa is more likely to score, then his odds are 11/2. But, like we said, it might pay to skirt a bit further down the betting list to hunt out the value. Visit bet365 for more first goalscorer odds.
"Liam Dolman tweaked a hamstring in training on Monday and he is going to be touch and go for Saturday," confirmed Stuart Gray.
"On the plus though thankfully everyone has now recovered from the bug we were carrying last week.
"Unfortunately the leg injury Mark Hughes has hasn't healed as quickly as we had hoped and he will be out for the last few games of the season.
"We had the blood drained off his leg but unfortunately the injury was in the early stages of calcification.
"That can be tricky but Denis Casey is very confident he will be fine for pre-season.
"He is doing some light work at the moment but the thing was that at the time we didn't realise how bad the injury was and full credit to Mark he did very well to carry on in the game at Walsall. We had already used our three substitutes and he wanted to help us see the game out.
"Gabor Gyepes signed a one year contract with us for next season earlier in the week and we are obviously delighted with that.
"He came in here to prove his fitness and I think he's done that.
"I know he's a good player and I think once we've got a full pre-season into him the fans will see a better player still.
"I've had a conversation with the Chairman regarding next season in terms of what lads I want to keep and who I want to bring in but the discussions between myself and the players on that will remain private.
"I think the loan signings that we've made this season have come in and done very well and that has certainly benefited us.
"Chris Doig aside we've not had too many serious injuries this season either and the less injuries you can pick up on the training ground the better.
"You are going to get contact injuries and the squad has been a bit stretched in the last few weeks because of suspensions and illness but all credit to the players. If I've asked someone to play out of position they have done a very good job."
