Nolan says Cobblers will be 'active' in January transfer window
Cobblers boss Kevin Nolan says the club plan to be ‘active’ during the January transfer window – and the extent of their business could be depend on injuries.
Town lost Cameron McGeehan (hamstring) and Ethan Wheatley (ankle) in the first half at Huddersfield on Monday night and both will go for scans this week, while Tyrese Fornah, Jack Vale and Michael Forbes are currently sidelined. There will also be discussions over the four loan players – Jordan Thorniley, Terry Taylor, Forbes and Wheatley – and whether any will return to their parent clubs.
Ahead of the window opening on New Year’s Day, Nolan said: "There's a few lads who are on loan who have options to possibly be called back so we have to see where we're at with that in the next week or two.
"We're always on the lookout for players and we're working hard and we're ready if anything happens. We're active and we will be active during the month.
"I feel like we are in a really good place but we'll see where these injuries take us in the next week or so and I'm sure I'll be having conversations with James (Whiting) and Kelvin (Thomas) and the owners to see if we need to add and where we need to add.”
Monday’s defeat was the third away game running in which Cobblers have conceded just before half-time.
"I'm not too concerned about that to be honest,” Nolan added. “Burton was a bad one to concede, Peterborough we were down to 10 men and the one today was another poor one.
"The lads individually switched off in that moment and it's a key moment and we got punished. We're getting punished a lot at the moment, as we did against Burton, but we have to get through it.We'll stick together and we'll be OK.”
