The Blues host second-bottom Northampton Town on Tuesday having slipped to 12th in League One, five points off the play-offs following the weekend fixtures with first-team coach Matt Gill admitting that that gap can’t be allowed to grow much bigger.
First-team coach Matt Gill believes strength in depth will help the Blues as they work through a very busy period of fixtures with two games a week for the next five weeks.
Stand-in skipper Flynn Downes was red-carded in injury time as dismal Town drew 0-0 with Northampton at Portman Road. The visitors had the better chances, coming closest when Peter Kioso hit the post in the first half.
Skipper Luke Chambers, Teddy Bishop, James Norwood and Stephen Ward return to the what looks like a 4-4-2 Town starting line-up for this evening’s game at Peterborough United.
