Cobblers have added eight players to the strong core which remains from last season, but more incomings are expected. What areas still need strengthening? The squad appears well-stocked in defence but perhaps light on numbers in attacking areas, particularly out wide and in creative positions. Here’s how things are shaping up nine days out from Colchester’s visit to Sixfields...

Cobblers look well-stocked at the back with two goalkeepers, four full-backs and four centre-backs on their books, but they appear short on numbers further up the pitch, particularly in wide areas and through the middle. Brady may also want another central midfielder and a striker. Photo: Pete Norton
