It is a little under two months since Jon Brady’s side were beaten by Mansfield Town in the Sky Bet League Two play-off semi-finals, and there has been a lot of squad changes since.
In all, eight new signings have been made to date, and all of them – aside from goalkeeper Lee Burge – were given some game time in the 3-0 defeat to Championship side West Bromwich Albion.
The night was also the first chance for supporters to see the team perform in the club’s new home kit, voted for by the fans as part of the 125th anniversary celebrations.
The design is a modern take on the strip worn by Graham Carr’s Division Four title winners of 1986/87.
Photographer Pete Norton was at Sixfields on Wednesday night, and captured images of all the fresh faces in the claret and white.
