Kevin Nolan reveals potential transfer setback for Cobblers
Kevin Nolan fears Cobblers might have missed out on a player over the last few days, although he retains hope that the deal can be ‘resurrected’ before the end of the transfer window.
It’s no secret that Town are searching for attacking reinforcements this month, particularly following the loss of Manchester United loanee Ethan Wheatley, but we’re now two and a half weeks into the window and defender Elliott Moore remains the only new arrival.
Speaking after defeat to Wycombe on Saturday, Nolan was asked about the prospect of doing business in the coming week, replying: "We’d love to have players in before the next game but it’s not as easy as what everyone thinks. You have to get everything sorted and you have to dot the i's and cross the t's before you can get a deal over the line.
"We thought we might have had one but it’s gone a bit quiet at the moment. Hopefully that’s something we can resurrect but, if not, we move onto the next one and if someone comes up who I feel can come in and help the team, I’m sure the board will help us get it over the line.”
Cobblers dropped into the relegation zone after losing to Wycombe on Saturday but that will not cause Nolan to panic or make rash decisions, adding: “We’ve got 21 games left so there’s loads of points to play for.
"I came in this time last year when we were hovering just above the bottom four and everyone thought we would drop into it. It’s such a tight league and if we can win a couple of games, we can jump right up the table. I don’t take too much notice of the table.”
