Matty Palmer has played almost 250 games of professional football at the age of 25 - 10 of which have come under John Sheridan at Swindon Town Photo: Dave Evans SWINDON Town midfielder Matty Palmer has assured fans that his team will be going out with their eyes firmly fixed on taking all three points against relegation rivals Northampton Town on Saturday. John Sheridan’s men welcome the Cobblers to the County Ground for a hotly-anticipated relegation battle that could prove pivotal in both side’s aspirations of remaining in League One next season. Second-bottom Northampton are currently managerless but could jump above Swindon with a win – meanwhile, three points for the hosts would push them five points ahead of the Cobblers and potentially into 18th if Rochdale also fail to win.
Town boss Sheridan says there is no issue with Grant or Caddis
SWINDON Town manager John Sheridan insists there is no problem between he and Anthony Grant or Paul Caddis and has told the pair to work hard and be ready like everyone else. Neither has played a minute of football since a 2-1 defeat to Doncaster Rovers on January 16, and rumours of a fall out between Sheridan and a group of senior players have emerged since. The Town boss dismissed any kind of disagreement between he and his players, simply stating that both Grant and Caddis had been left out based on purely football-based decisions.
