No it's not a striker unfortunately
Tom Cartwright from Northampton Town joins on loan
I'm guessing with Wilson Purse Thomas Tagoe & Cartwright that Harriman will step back from playing??
Would be a shame if so as we need his experience on the pitch really.

Could open a crèche at this point

The manager described one of last weeks new loanees as a top quality signing or something like that, I'm not sure how that makes the rest of the squad feel as I don't think the player has played more than 2 games of non league football, bundling words like 'top quality' around after less than a handful of games could damage the player, he'll think he's Messi within a month and the fans expectations of him will be sky high.


Welcome Tom,

Tom has been with the Cobblers academy since u10 level.
I don't think he has any loan experience so he's new to this level.
According to the Cobblers website, his standout quality is that he likes to bring the ball out from the back.

He featured in a Cobblers U18 game against Southend U18 in February in which the Cobblers ran out 6-0 winners so IF the other loanees we have in from Northampton also featured in that game we may have some outstanding talents on our hands.

Callum Perry 18 from Coventry City signs on loan. Unfortunately not a striker tho, but another defender

As I mentioned earlier maybe not everyone is available over the holiday period.

New signing is a left back, which was a position we desperately needed to improve.
