GRAY LOOKING FORWARD TO HOME COMFORTS
Stuart Gray is looking forward to Wednesday's pre-season game against QPR as a chance to put his players back out on home turf.
"It was a decent pitch in Germany but now we want to be back on a familiar surface," he said.
"The new lads are all looking forward to their first taste of playing at Sixfields. I know that Liam Davis and Leon Constantine have played here before but it is always different when it is your first home game and I know that they, along with Abdul Osman, are really looking forward to Wednesday.
"We are now ready to move onto the next stage of our build up.
"A lot of the ground work has been done. The fitness is good and the conditioning work has been done, so now we are moving on to look at shape, formations and the technical side of the game.
"Shape, possession and ball work will become more important in the next few weeks and we are looking forward to a good week with the game against QPR and then the visit to Luton on Saturday."
