Northampton manager Chris Wilder reassesses options after postponement

Northampton host Accrington in Sky Bet League Two on Monday after both sides had their Boxing Day games postponed.

The Cobblers had already set off for York when news came through that the pitch at Bootham Crescent was unplayable following heavy rain.

The wash-out at least allowed manager Chris Wilder the chance to reassess his options having planned to rotate his squad during the festive period.

Winger Ricky Holmes, who has made three substitute appearances since recovering from a back injury, midfielder Jason Taylor and forward Sam Hoskins were all pushing for starts.

Accrington should have been at home to Carlisle on Saturday but that game also fell victim to the inclement weather.

Defender Seamus Conneely had been hoping to retain his place after returning from a groin injury to start at Stevenage last weekend.

Anthony Barry, Andy Procter, Terry Gornell and Liam Wakefield were all pushing for places in John Coleman's side.

Defender Dean Winnard was also nearing a return after more than a month out with an ankle injury.
